Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was a vivid bright white light object. Appeared to be smaller after a half an hour but still had the vivid bright white light. It did not vary much from the fixed point northwest night sky position i viewed it in but it did get smaller and slightly higher in the northwest night sky which seemed that it was traveling due northwest.

Size of Object(s)

The moon was to my southeast and the bright white light object was in front of me to the northwest. At first from my reference point being the moon it seemed to be one quarter its size. If you put a hand in front you might eclipse it but i did not try that and i did not have a camcorder with me so i would guess the object was several inches and appeared slightly disklike or spherical in shape.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It was at a relatively fixed point in the northwest sky at night and a near earth object in space.

Description of Area / Surroundings

In a parking lot of the Mcdermottt pool facility on Sandy lane in Warwick R.I. Urban area.

Full Description & Details

The bright white light object in the northwest night sky 4-3-12 at 9 P.M. was vivid in its brightness from my vantage point.. I was standing outside in a parking lot on Sandy lane in Warwick, Rhode Island and viewed this spectacle for a half an hour. It was extremely bright and easily viewed with my naked eye. It did not vary much from its seemingly fixed point but did get smaller after a half hour but the brightness of the white light object remained constant. The moon was to my back in the southeast and I turned and I looked and saw how bright the moon was and then looked at the bright light object in front of me in the northwest night sky and it was just as bright in luminosity and it wasn't a plane or any type of aircraft. There was no noise. At 9.p.m it just stood out as plaln as day in the northwest night sky and even appeared to be slightly disklike as it got smaller after looking at it for a half hour. I wondered if it was a comet or a meteor but it didn't act like a shooting star at all. It wasn't a twinkling star or aircraft. The bright white light object looked like it was in space at a relative fixed point near earth from where I was standing and in a half hour the brightness of the object was still viivid though it was smaller and its movement did not vary too much but did appear to be smaller and a little bit higher up or farther away in the northwest sky indicating a northwest movement. It was vivid. I left at 9:30 and went home.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

no. I'm just reporting what I saw whatever it was. I'd be pleased to find out it was a comet but it sure wasn't a meteor. It was a vivid bright white light object in the northwest sky at 9.p.m 4-3-12 and I noticed it because it was unusual.
