bright light in the sky!!! WTF

prelog. this was about a year ago and i just remeberd it and though i would share it.
ok so one night i was over at a friends house. average night nothing interesting kicking back a few beers. so my gf calls me and i go outside to talk to her for a few min.
i was sitting on his front porch talking when out of no where this light catches my eye. (it was little to new moon so not much light other then the stars) i look up and a small spot in the sky starts to get a little brighter light a large star. then it becomes brighter and brighter and im struck in aww. it lasted only about five seconds getting bright and then fading away and at its max was as bright if not brighter then a full moon only in 1/4 or 1/2 the space. HOLY SHIT
me being a astrology freak instantly thought (holy crap! i just say a supernova go off!!!) i quickly got off the phone with my gf and jumped on my laptop. if it was a supernova that shit would be all over the net in seconds.
after doing a quick search there is a satalight with huge reflectors that on certain times at certain places will reflect the sun at night and over a few seconds will get EXTREMELY bright in the night sky. and the times and date matched up...
well that was fucking disappointing...
u think that shit would be on the news so people wont be like OMG ALIENS or like me use a logical explanation like a supernova with *would* have been fucking awesome...
just thought id share that

Only complete idiots would see a light and instantly think "woah dude, fuckin' aliens". Cool story, though.

Meh, people see stuff in the sky all the time, not everyone jumps to I star gaze constantly and I can only recall seeing something odd once, when i was much, much younger...I'm not sure if I really saw it or not, but i remember running from my room to the back door and watching it travel across the sky...weird shit.

there is so much shit u can see in the sky.
get a cheap telescope and look up for a while
its so cool to be able to see the rings of Saturn.
Jupiter is so close right now u can actually see the gas streams around it. it wont be this close for another 300 years.
this is just with a 200 dollar telescope.

Guarantee you that was an iridium flare (iridium is a type of satellite, there are hundreds of them), or another satellite flare. It's when a flat surface on a satellite is reflecting sunlight directly at you... Like someone with a mirror being able to signal someone from miles away.
Go to www.heavens-above.com. They can calculate when flares will be visible where you are down to the second. Flares are very local. Somebody 10 miles away may not see anything.
