Witness Account
From my front yard, observed a bright light cranking across the sky heading north toward Canada I took my dog out to do his business. I always make it a point to star gaze while he is going to the bathroom and saw an extremely bright light cranking across the sky. It was absolutely quiet/no sound at all. The object had no marker lights like a plane has and it was far too low to be a satellite and far to large to be a satellite. It covered a great distance between me running inside my house, grabbing my cell phone, running back out to video record it. I have a video but it’s not great due to the trees in front of my house. I immediately checked online if there was any scheduled rocket launches over northern NH for the time I saw this “thing” and it stated there were no launches tonight. This had me baffled and I needed to report it. NUFORC Note: The ISS made a bright, visible pass over Berlin, NH that evening, but the pass actually finished a few minutes before 21:15. Using the ISS TLE from the morning of May 8, 2026 (epoch ~04:47 UTC May 8), the pass details for Berlin, NH (44.47°N, 71.19°W) were: Rose at 9:06 PM EDT in the SSW (azimuth 209°), 10° above the horizon. Peaked at 9:09…
