Full Description & Details

I was on the balcony of our apartment, looking east south-east when I noticed a large, extremely bright object in the sky over Fort Henry but fairly high in the sky. It was very red with a bit of yellow to the colour and I stood there for approx 10 seconds trying to determine what it would be and attempting to put it into some type of context. There was no movement at all and I called my husband to come and see it. He immediately ran for his binoculars when he saw it and reported he saw what appeared to be a row of smaller lights within the original shape. It began to become smaller and seemed to be moving directly away from us as it became smaller and smaller until it disappeared. The speed at which it moved away seemed to be very fast. Total viewing time was approximately 30 seconds.

Witness Background

Other Comments

I have never seen anything this large or bright in the sky. The lighted city was below it and yet it was still distinctly visible. The size was so much larger than even a nearby plane would be, that it was totally puzzling to me and caused me to just stare before I even thought to call my husband.
