As I was setting up my goto telescope tonight, I selected Vega as my first star. I next chose Dhube (in the Big Dipper). The scope slewed way past Dhube, so I thought I had mis-identified Vega as my first star (star gazers will tell you that is hard to do!) So I looked (not through the telescope) to Vega. A little bit to the southwest of Vega (perhaps 2.5 degrees) was an equally bright star that I had noticed earlier, although I had dismissed it, as Vega is pretty easy to pick out. As I was looking at this new star, which had not moved discernably to the naked eye from it's original position, it brightened by about double, immediately faded to somewhat less than it's original brightness and began to move. I now thought "satellite". But, it moved sharply to the southwest (in a "J" sort of movement) and faded from sight. Duration of intitial brightening of object to fading from sight - probably less then three seconds. All this happened so fast that I could not get photographic evidence.

i was outside on my front porch , when i saw a bright red/orange ball flying across the sky. at first i though it might be a plane of some sort, but it did not make the sound that occurs following a plane that goes by. this light was so strange, and i saw it two nights in a row. i have never seen anything like this before. we have all kinds of planes that go over including helicopters, and this was definitely not one of those. it moves across the sky from west to east, and was moving faster than a plane would. i can honestly say that i have never in my life seen anything like this before, it totally caught me off guard. my neighbors were also outside in their garage at the time and they saw the same thing that i did. if you know what this is could you please let me know.. thank you
