On the night of June 27th, 2008, i saw a bright light in the sky over Shuswap Lake BC, it appeared to travel..

Question

straight up and went out after a couple seconds.. can anyone tell me what I saw? And I know it was not the International Space Station as I have seen it (the station) many times before and does not travel straight up, vertically.

Thanks in advance

Answer 3

It may have been an iridium flare.  There are a number of communication satellites that have these antennae that are very flat and reflective, about the size of a door.  If the sunlight happens to reflect off of one of those antennae at the right angle, you will see a bright point of light moving, lasting on the order of a few seconds.

Put in your location and it will give you a listing of flares for your location.  Then you will know exactly when and where to look to see if that is what you saw.
