Is this a satellite?
Time: 18:43
Location: Trenčín district, Slovakia
My friend and I have been observing a bright light moving in the sky. We first spotted it on March 19th of this year and saw it again the following day, with about an hour difference between the two sightings. Today, we noticed it again at 18:43. It seems to be traveling in a straight line and is quite luminous. I’ve recorded all three sightings. Could this be a satellite or something different?
It’s possible that what you and your friend observed is a satellite. Many satellites are visible in the night sky, particularly shortly after sunset or just before sunrise when they catch sunlight. They often appear as bright, steady points of light moving in a straight line across the sky. Based on the times you mentioned, it sounds like the object was likely a satellite, as they can be seen during these times.
However, without seeing your recordings, it’s difficult to be certain. Other possibilities could include airplanes (which tend to blink) or even the International Space Station (ISS), which can be quite bright and moves quickly across the sky. There are websites and apps that can help you identify satellites and other objects based on your location and the time of your sightings. It might be helpful to check those out to see if you can match your observations to known satellites.
