    Satellites
In summary, the article discusses the observation of a particularly bright satellite in the night sky, likely a geostationary satellite. It explains that such satellites orbit the Earth at a fixed position relative to the surface, making them appear stationary to observers. The brightness can be attributed to sunlight reflecting off their surfaces, and the article provides tips on identifying and tracking these satellites for enthusiasts and curious observers alike.

If you are the only one who has ever seen it, that's an issue.
Absolutely. Second best explanation to aliens. After all, the Russian name I was born with (Eleonora Strelnikova) translates to Eleanor Arroway and the brightest star I see out of my windows facing east is Vega ;-)

Don't think this is getting anywhere and since there is apparently no way to delete my account here: Thanks everyone who genuinely tried to help me.

I'm sure everyone here was legitimately trying to help, but as the saying goes, PF can only help those who help themselves.

I'll lock the thread here since it seems to have run its course.
