SIGHTING: ALABASTER, ALABAMA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I work night shift in Calera Al, At about 4:30am on 2/27/13 I was standing outside work taking a smoke break and looking up West slightly NW at the sky as I'm a bit of an astronomy buff. First I noticed the object or light and thought star or planet but the only planet visible at this time is Saturn but from where I was standing it was behind me and it's view blocked by the building. Anyhow, I quickly dismissed a planet or star when I noticed the object was moving. It was moving at a slow enough pace that my next thought was Airplane and the distance was about right. This is where it gets strange, within 10-15 sec of thinking airplane the object or light started to get smaller moving away, but not away like a plane would more like out into space, it continued to get smaller till it just faded away. This whole event took place in 25-30 sec from the time I noticed it till it disappeared. Did anyone else see this? "
