Some years ago on our summer cottage, we saw unusually bright star just above the horizon, that's what we though it was at first, but with a closer look it was way too big to be a star.
Anyways, all of us (5-6 were there at the moment) went down to the beach to get a better look at it. It didnt move at all, just sat there for 10-15min. Then, it suddenly flew past our island from afar and disappeared to the horizon.
Everyone still thinks it was an airplane, but I dont believe it was. It was there for 15min, not moving at all. There were no blinking lights as one would see in a commercial jet. And lastly, when it moved it went fast, almost like watching a fighter fly right past you, nothing like a commercial jet (there's a route directly over our island so we see them quite a bit), nor it had any kind of sound. It was night and there was no wind or anything, very calm, so one should have heard the jet if it was one. Ow yeh, and this one flew from NE to SW, the commercial route goes NW to SE.
Still bugs me today what the darn it was. :hmm:
