I walked outside and looked up at the stars. Orion is in the south and was a clear morning. I looked to the west and noticed a plane flying overhead, with a red blinking light and flashing strobe. Metro airport is south and west of my house location. As I stared at the plane I noticed something that appeared to be as bright as a satellite, noticeable but faint. I stared at this because the faint light appeared to keep the same speed as the plane, off the left wing. I thought, how odd is this, the plane and light were moving from west to east. At about the 11:00 position the plane and light seemed to converge. I thought this was logical because of the difference in altitude between a plane and a satellite, but the light converging on the plane stopped and stood still for 1 or 2 seconds. Then the light moved again, accelerating West in the direction it came from. I looked at my watch, it was 6:08am.
