Location: Near Cassiopeia,
very high, huge area across sky
Message: As tonight was
a clear night, I went
outside to look at the constellation
of Cassiopeia. I have studied this for
years and know it
very well. However, I noticed what I thought was a
constellation within it. It was the inverse of Cassiopeia
in that it was an
upside down triangle but with another
object in parallel with it. It then moved
very fast across
the sky, northwards crossing Cassiopeia and remaining in
formation perfectly. This object was moving very fast, and
I could hear NO
noise. Please note this appeared very high
in the sky, and I can only compare
it's brightness to the
stars. The size appeared huge, as it replicated in size
to
the 2 pointer stars of Cassiopeia and in relation to the constellation, it
moved across it in seconds. This was no aircraft as far as
I'm concerned due to
relative size and distance travelled
compared to geo-stationary satellites.
I
consider
myself a professional in IT, have a qualification in astronomy and
always look for a rational explanation in ambiguous
issues, but I cannot explain
this sighting. My wife also
saw this, and is quite shaken about it.
