Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia A Extremely Bright Light

Posted: February 6, 2008

Date: July 17, 2007 Time: 1:00 a.m.

Approach Direction: West to East. Departure Direction: East. Witness Direction: Straight up.

Description: Staying at the "Mid Trail" resort which is halfway through the Cabot Trail and adjacent to Pleasant Bay. The sky was perfectly clear. I was laying outside on the patio with a blanket and pillow just watching the stars.

I saw several planes fly behind the mountains nearby and a couple of satellites fly by. At 1:00am directly above me a round light appeared as though it just phased in. It was nearly 3 times brighter than any star in the sky including Venus. Once it peaked its brightness it moved as slow as a satellite does from West to East across the sky. As it moved it began to fade in brightness until it looked much like a normal satellite does. It traveled for another 4 or 5 seconds then just simply disappeared.

I have seen many satellites and planes over the years as well as meteors and this was like nothing I have ever seen before.

Color/Shape: Bright white light.
