Full Description of event/sighting: My husband and I love to go stargazing as often as possible, but last week of July and all of August so far has been rainy or cloudy. So on Wednesday night the weather cleared and it was a starlit sky with no wind, perfect for stargazing, so off we went to the beach. We left at about 11:00 pm. We sat on the sand and took out our flashlights, binoculars and some flares that you light. We saw a few planes at high altitude. As we both were observing the sky at about 12:20 am my husband noticed a very bright star to the east of where we were sitting. There are cottages along the cliffs off in the distance and the bright star was positioned above them.

He said, "that's a planet", but I thought it looked more like a star because it was twinkling and bright. I took my flashlight and did a Morse code thing towards it and my husband lit a flare and started to wave it in the same direction. I always ask for a show. When the flare burnt out my husband was trying
to light another flare while I was observing the sky at the same time. Suddenly something caught my eye in the west, so I looked up and saw a very bright yellowy with an orange hue "star" moving very slowly from east to west when it suddenly grew in size and brightness, stopped and shrunk then suddenly vanished. I thought my husband was watching and said wow, did you see that? He said no, I'm trying to light the flare. I said if I say wow, look up because you missed it. So I looked over towards the cottages and the bright "star"or "planet" was gone. The show lasted 3 or 4 seconds, but it was exciting. What a rush. It was worth the long wait for good weather. To be continued, I hope.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
