Lights in the Sky

... That was odd. I was just walking home from the shop, when I saw what I thought was a red star in the sky. It was too big to be a plane light, which are usually just pin-pricks over this location, and often they have little green lights in their vicinity too. This was too big and bright for that, so I thought 'star'.

And then it moved. Sort of all at once. No tail or anything, just the red light moving rapidly across the sky. So I thought, okay, plane after all.

Then it sputtered, varied in intensity over a second, and vanished.

Um. Did something, I don't know, bounce off atmosphere or something over Northern Europe in the past fifteen minutes or so? Because if that was a plane, I don't think that was good. Usually they don't do that, flare up and then disappear.

*shakes head* Ah, yes. So. That was odd?
