Роттердам

Netherlands

My son and I were on the terrace of our penthouse. I drew my son's attention to the "moving star".

It looked like a star, but it was much brighter. It came from the northeast, traveling through the sky to the southwest. It is difficult to estimate the height, but it looked quite large. It definitely wasn't a plane and was too fast for a helicopter.

We thought that the speed was not constant (I stopped and moved forward), but this could be an illusion on our part. Besides, it could be a satellite. Or a space shuttle, if it was in operation?

Duration of observation: 2-3 minutes

Summary: My son and I were on the terrace of our penthouse apt. I drew my son’s attention to a “moving star.” It looked like a star but it was much brighter. It came from the northeast traveling across the sky to the southwest. Hard to estimate the altitude, but it looked pretty high. It was definitely not a plane and went way to fast for a helicopter. We thought that the speed was not constant (stop and go) but that could be an illusion on our part. Also, it might have been a satellite. Or the space shuttle, if one happened to be in operation? Duration: 2-3 minutes
