Witness Account

It was late between 9:30 and 12:00, I went outside to smoke before going to bed, and I looked up into the night sky and it was completely pitch black, and suddenly the sky wasn't pitch black anymore there was a bright star hanging in the sky that wasn't there a moment ago. The light at first was a pale orange, like orange cream that turned into a brilliant white light, it hung there for a few moments and then started to strafe across the sky until it disappeared into the horizon, and it kept the same speed and it kept the same direction and it kept the same luminosity the entire time that it traveled across the sky, it didn't flicker it didn't blink it didn't do anything, it just moved across the sky in a straight line.
