The Unexplained > The UFO Phenomena
I just saw UFO
Serg:
Nearly a half an hour ago, I was smoking outside and saw bright flying object. It was as bright, as Venus and it was flying from the West (from Venus; Orion constellation direction) to East or South East. First I thought that it could be a plane, but it wasn't blinking and no sound was heard. It was flying fast and then, in when it was on the South East, it starts disappearing and disappeared quickly. My wife filmed it but the quality is very bad. :(
Simon:
Hello Serg
Was it flying in straight line?
I'm asking about it, because I see lights on the sky almost every night that are moving in straight lines. At first I thought it was unknown flying objects, but than someone suggested to me that those may be satellites reflecting Sun light (or lights originated on Earth). Since that every time I smoke on my balcony and I see moving light on the sky, I'm waiting for it to turn :) No luck so far.

It may have been the International Space Station- I just checked out it's orbital path and it passes south east of Rijecka and then Split from a Westerly direction-it can be pretty bright and moves very quickly-so maybe this is what you have seen.
You can watch yourself the ISS position here: _http://iss.astroviewer.net I have made live link-click on tab "what the astronauts are seeing now" and the cross hairs show the actual real time position of the ISS relative to the ground-it moves really fast!
I just realized you are in Ukraine...for some reason I thought you were near Rijeka...apologies.
Made link live (this is not a disinfo site-you can actually track ISS in real time-it's pretty cool!)
stupid me forgot to take out the "you will have to do manually" in a hurry-sorry!
Serg:
Here is the video, I upload it to youtube: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8FoVA5MBgE&feature=relmfu
As I said it is in a bad quality, but sound is good.
A half an hour before I saw another flying object. It wasn't so bright as the first one(2-3 times less brighter than the first one), and it seems to me that it was higher. It was flying to the North direction. I think this one could be a sattelite.

Hi Simon,
I think yes, it was flying straight, but then dissapeared, why?. I would feel a little more safety if it wasn't a UFO. :)

You can watch yourself the ISS position here: _http://iss.astroviewer.net I have disabled live link so you will have to do it manually-click on tab "what the astronauts are seeing now" and the cross hairs show the actual real time position of the ISS relative to the ground-it moves really fast!

Hi tschai,
Thanks for the link. (Note: correct the link, delete the underscore or do not insert it as hyperlink)
I'll try not to forget to look at the sky tomorrow.
Edit: Miss a letter in nickname. :-[ Sorry
Serg:
One question about ISS's website, tschai : If I located in the grey circle, it means that most of all I will be able to se the ISS? Or I can only see the ISS if I located in the red line? Sorry for such question, maybe it's silly.
