Witness Testimony

"I was standing by a window in a bathroom when i noticed the light. it wasn't point-like, but too small in apparent size to see any detail in shape.It's color was similar to mars. due to local rooftops i didn't see it long. it covered about 10 degrees of sky in a minute. it was about as bright as jupiter or the iss ever gets. it was under the clouds and heading roughly west, which rules out the iss. its glow was steady, and when i went outside to see if there were any more i noticed the air was still, so this rules out a chinese lantern. i'm an astrophysicist who also gives public astronomy lectures so i know the sky."
