1 AnswerInvesting1 decade agoWhat did I see in the sky?
I was looking outside with some binoculars and I saw a flash of light.
It was pretty bright, about 3rd magnitude and maybe a second or so on the increase and decrease of brightness.
I would guess it would be a meteor, but local time was about 6:45pm, which is a weird time to see a meteor. And if it was there was no trail or perceivable direction of travel, so it would have been coming right at me.
It occurred near
-7 degrees 15'
23h 18m
at around 1:50 utc ±5mins
I was thinking it might have been some internal reflection but I saw it in both objectives...and I live sorta near an airport, but the light was pretty much stationary and point like. So I'm not sure what it was.
