The author of the original article settled in his new apartment and, trying to figure out how to use my VCR and TV without a cable connection, accidentally looked out the window and noticed a light in the sky. It looked as bright as Jupiter at its dimest moment. 

I watched it for a bit more until I realized he was leaving. As it grew dimmer and dimmer, it suddenly went out. The clock on the microwave showed 22:06. If it had been an airplane, I could have seen it longer and further. But he disappeared in a matter of seconds.

Original news

Date: Thursday, August 13, 1998.
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.

I had settled into my new apartment, and as I was trying to figure out how to use my VCR and TV without the cable connection, I happened to look out the window and noticed a light in the sky. It looked to be as bright as Jupiter at its dimmest. I watched it some more until I realized it was moving away. As it became dimmer and dimmer, it suddenly blinked out. The clock on the microwave oven indicated 10:06 p.m. Had it been a plane, I would have been able to see it longer and further away. But it was gone within seconds. I later received a call from a Garson resident who reportedly saw the same thing on three consecutive nights.

Satellite

Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
