Have you or will you be watching the meteorites this Week That annually show this time every year, I saw two last night about ten Minutes Apart both comeing from the same direction, either tonight or tommorow is Supposed to be the best nights to see them, on monday night I thought I would Just take a peek and see what was a about well I could not id any Meteorites, but the strangest occurance I have ever seen in the night sky I witnessed around 10:40pm or just after, the sky was patchy with cloud but Clear enough to see large areas of clear Night sky, I was about to come in doors when to my right handside I,d be Faceing s-s-w useing a compass when I first saw this object it travelled in a Straight line presumably from the west from behind where I live and to Look It at first looked like a bright star but hugh and there were no flashing or Warning lights no sound of engines/motor etc and the light from this Object Lost its Intensity as it slowly travelled to me not that high in the sky to me Like something floating but it was definately not something I had recognised before, and this is the part I wish someone else had seen at the same time Was how it vanished, it had either climbed or the size of this object and the Light comeing from it had decreased by about 85/90% perhaps in 30/50 odd Seconds I saw it in the sky it had just cleared some cloud and was above it When the most extraordinary thing happened the best way of explaining it Would be like when putting a writeing object such as a pen or pencil to Paper And doing a quick sqiggle on the paper at the end of that sqiggle it just Vanished I wish someone else may have seen it of course no video proof but I knew what I saw and it was,nt Imagination I wish yourself and others had Witnessed it.
Long story short, I went for a manually operated 8" GSO Dob which I have been very satisfied with! :t:
