Satellite?�

2006-04-08

I went outside tonight. And looked at the sky. At first, there were 7 stars. 7 that I could see with my own eyes. As I spent more time outside, I could see more. Not a lot. The light pollution here is awful.

But as I waited and my eyes grew accustomed to the dark, I could see more stars. I scanned back and forth across the sky. I saw the only constellation I can recognize, Orion. His belt barely visible.

Then I saw something else. I still don�t know what it was. Maybe a satellite? It seemed to be going too fast even for that. It crossed my field of view in less than 20 seconds. Two goldenish lights flashing back and forth. It went diagonally across my slice of sky in a very few moments. I�m thinking it must have been a satellite, but I�ve never seen one move that fast. What the heck wasit? If anyone has any answers? 9:00 pm, PDT
