I am 20 years old. I have been a Mensa member for several months now. I don't drink or use drugs. I know something about astronomy, but I don't look like an expert or anything like that at all. 

For several weeks now, I have been seeing a very bright "star" in the night sky. The first time it looked like the light of an airplane, but it missed the flashing white-red light of the wings, and it was much brighter. And it was moving much faster, but it dissipated before it disappeared from view. It didn't have a tail or anything else that an ordinary meteor has. 

I saw him again tonight, but he was completely motionless. He didn't move at all. Even when I compared it to the stars. When I first looked at it, my eyes almost ached from the brightness, it looked as if it was a tiny sun of its own, but the light did not dissipate. Then I noticed that the light seemed to get a little dimmer, but when I looked closer, it was as if it was an aura (at night the moon has a circle of light around it sometimes when there is a thin layer of clouds), it made me think of the car's head light in the fog, but it was very close, and I could not make out whether it really looked like a moving "head light". But then around the object itself. 

Despite the fact that it was far away and because of the not very clear light, I thought it was a little triangular in shape, but it could just be rays of light. 

Now, about half an hour later, at 3: 12 am, he is no longer there. I kind of have a slight headache when I looked at a bright light, but I only watched it for 5 minutes, and that was almost 30 minutes ago. 

I also felt some pressure on my head, even when I closed my eyes when I looked at it. And I am one of those rare, blessed people who never have a headache! But I could be a side effect of my photosensitivity, but nevertheless, sunlight never affects anything like that. 

I also tried to take a picture of it, but my camera could not capture it because of the strong light contrasts between the black sky and the bright "star". I took a picture, but it's very blurry, if you still want to see this image, let me know. But at the moment I don't have the necessary cable to connect it to the computer.

Duration of observation: at least 30 minutes.

Summary: I am a 20 your old guy from the Netherlands. I’m a Mensa member since a few months. I don’t drink nor use drugs. I know quite some things about astronomy but I’m nothing close to an expert or anything like that. Since a few weeks I’ve seen an extremely bright “star” in the sky at night time. The first time it seemed like the light of an airplain, yet it missed the blinking white and red light of the wings and it was so much brighter. And it moved much faster but dissipated before it was out of view. It didn’t have a tail or anything else a normal meteor has. Tonight I saw it again but it was completely stationary. It didn’t move at all. Not even when I compaired it with the stars. When I first looked at it my eyes almost hurt of the brightness it almost looked as if it was a tiny sun of it’s own but the light did not difuse. Then I noticed that the light seemed to get a little dimmer but when I looked closer it was as if it’s aura (at night the moon has a circle of light around it sometimes when there’s a thin layer of clouds) was shifting it made me think of the head light of a car in the mist yet it was very short-ranged and I couldn’t really make out if it was really like a moving “head light”. But then around the object itselve. Even though it was far away and due to the light not really clear I did have the idea it was a bit triangle shaped but it could just be rays of light. Now about half an hour later, 3:12 AM, it’s gone. I’ve kind of a light head ache of looking at the bright light but I only watched it for some 5 minutes and that was almost 30 minutes ago. I also felt some sort of pressure on/in my head even when I closed my eyes, when I watched it. And I’m one of those rare, blessed persons who doesn’t have head aches, ever! But I could be a side affect of my light sensitivity, but still, sunlight never has an effect on anything like this. I also tried to take a picture of it but my camera wasn’t able to capture it due to the extreme light contrasts between the black sky and the bright “star”. I made a picture but its really vague if you still wanted to view this picture let me know. But at the moment I don’t have the needed cable to put it on my computer, with me. Duration: atleast 30 minutes
