It was very cloudy and stormy out where I was last night but I still saw a pretty good sized fireball. I'll be camping out in Arizona tonight so hopefully I'll see something else. it's still very cloudy though.

I seen something again tonight, ran and got my camera. I was on my way down the drive way to close the garage door. and looked straight up above me. Some huge light moving very slow. pure white. but twinkled like.. Is there some huge satellite out there which is so huge to the naked eye. And how can a satellite be at 20 thousands feet? Altitude a guess.. I could not find it in the sky with my camera . I ran into my house and had forgotten it was in my purse. It was going away by the time I made it outdoors. I even ran down the city street after it.. This drives me crazy. When I did find it with the camera it was going over the trees. There was no noise with it.

When something is moving in the night sky, I can't seem to follow it with the camera, I feel I'm directly on but nothing is there. I did zoom over it once and lost it.. lol

Lois, id just mentioned something about a satellite on the disappearing triangle thread. Was it moving from south to north by some chance? Im curious about it also if its the same one, it is low in orbit and blinks for a few seconds and then stops blinking and so on. Ive witnessed it 3 times now. I know it isnt the ISS, because the orbits of the 2 is different.
