A few nights ago I saw stars in the sky except one was blasting across the sky at exceptionally high speeds. It was around the same brightness as the other stars and had no tail or anything. Now I look at the sky all the time and airplanes always have red or green flashing lights on and they don't appear to move that fast against the stars especially if they're so high they're just a dot. Was it aliens?

Hey I'm just asking for an explanation as to what I saw. No need to be a dick.

We don't fucking know, nigga. Probably just your autism playing tricks on you.

Probably ISS or some other pile of space shit.

Did this pass over London two weeks ago in a northerly direction? Also seeing as I was in the city it would have to be really big space junk to be seen seeing as the air and light pollution is so bad you can only see a few stars.

It wouldn't be heading North passing over London. It's more likely to be something else, an Iridium flare is the most likely candidate if it was bright.

This was pretty much the exact same speed that it was moving at

Didn't notice any change in brightness though.

Space debris or a satellite.

Then it's almost certainly a satellite.
The change in brightness depends on how close you were to the flare location. The further away you are the less it peaks. There are plenty of other satellites too many of which don't flare, Iridium flares are just common and bright. If you know the time, date and location you can look it up using heavens above.

Be glad you have no night vision equipment, you would freak out.

Just some satellite or something theres free apps on your phone that let you point your phone at them and identify them...get some good binoculars and take a look at the dark night sky youll see shit tons of ufo type space assholes, try to get away from the light pollution
