| | | Bright continuous light,
Moving from West to East at approx 7 - 8 pm at an altitude of also approx 60 degrees. Anyone any ideas? Got my telescope out from the corner of the conserve' and dusted it down to 'ave a shufti' should it pass again. Cheers, Tony. |

Chinese Lantern?
See them regular (why?)
I used to like seeing unexplained lights in the sky (seen some totally unexplained) but they always seem to be these at the minute

There would not be sufficient oxygen at this altitude to maintain the burning object used to lift the lantern. Try again.....Cheers, Tony. |

Quite possibly the International Space Station. See the Heavens Above site at Heavens-Above Home Page
It has all the information you could possibly need about celestial objects! |
