Witness Testimony

"TRACKING A FAINT SATELLITE, AND AN EMERGING FLASH!This time of the year is a good time to star gaze.. I had been tracking satellites and just marveling at the heavens when I saw a very faint satellite traveling south in what seemed a normal orbit.. Often the visibility varies with the faint ones and I was straining to track this one.. In a flash,,there WAS a flash...only a second, but very very bright flash, seemingly very large in reference to the faint satellite. A natural phenom??? Unknown to me..very interesting.. Definitely not the ISS, which I saw a week or so ago..That was a TREAT! There were no aircraft in the area>I do have military training."
