Message: My sighting occurred around midnight from 05.10.2008 11.56 pm to 06.10.2008 12.15 am. 
I went to my 2nd floor window to do some night sky watching and after 10 min I saw a very faint twinkling light, distant and above the roof skyline. 
I looked and searched for it again without success and thought I had lost sight of it for good but before giving up I decided to use the nightshot feature of my Sony camera and I was completely gobsmacked how easy I found the object in the same place I had seen it briefly before!
Again, I tried to look at it with my bare eyes and normal binoculars and yet couldn't see anything!
Then I tried with the camcorder in normal mode but still nothing! So, I switched the nightshot feature on and there it was!
Even though we had rain and grey/cloudy sky during most of the day, at that moment the sky was completely clear with many star visible, so I could not understand why in this occasion the object was invisible for me to see with my bare eyes.
Amazingly, 1-2 min after it disappeared from my sight, when I saw a sudden huge and bright lightening engulfing the whole sky for about 3 secs, even though there were no storm/clouds at all!
