Ok ppl, I basically had a pseudo-sighting of something this evening. I never saw anything similar and never had any UFO sightings or any weird occurrences happen so far.
Anywayz, I went to a sports complex located in a northern part of my hometown to practice some healthy livin', at about 21hCentral European Time. When I finished the jogging routine, I went onto a part of the complex set to the side of the track where spectators can sit down and watch - it's basically a couple of wide concrete blocks forming a spectators' arena. I sat on the last block and decided to do some crunches - something I quite often do on them blocks after running. It was about 22h and there were still people running on the track. Some guy was shooting hoops on a basketball courtyard some 50 meters from where I was sitting. Even though it was basically dark, there was still some light on the horizon. The sky had a dark bluish black shade, it was totally clear and the stars were totally visible.
Now and then I could see some planes with the standard lighting coming to and from the airport, always blinking. But at about 22.03 I saw a light which was somewhat odd. It was moving in a straight line across the sky and it seemed to be higher than the planes and it seemed to move faster. It had a constant glow, no blinking at all. Suddenly it stopped and started to vertically descent downward. The glow became stronger and brighter, it was quite interesting. It was the first time I have seen anything like it so I closed and rubbed my eyes just in case - the light was still descending. Then I looked around to see if someone else noticed - but the people were still running and I could hear that the guy on the court was casually playing the ball. When I returned my gaze, the light seemed to stop the descent and continued to move forward and after a couple of seconds just faded out - I couldn't see it anymore. The whole thing maybe lasted for 7-10 seconds.
I am fucking super-excited, I guess I've seen some natural phenomenon - maybe a meteor or something. Or maybe some reflection, or even an army plane doing some strange maneuvering. I guess the space bros are not even a remotely likely option since the light didn't manifest any weird/impossible maneuvering, the only thing which is weird is the vertical descent and the increase in brightness plus the fading out, but I guess that could be a meteor or maybe a flare. Or maybe some kinda rocket or something since it was moving horizontally twice. Anyways, whatever it was - it was exciting and my first time seeing anything strange in the sky. Your opinions and thoughts please, maybe someone can help identify a natural phenomenon.
And I also learned a nice sighting lesson. My cellphone was right at my side, playing music through the headphones which I removed halfway through the incident just to see if I could hear anything - but I couldn't - just the basketball pounding on the court. Maybe that sound killed a potential engine sound from the sky. But, during the sighting I was so shocked and excited that it didn't occur to me to take my cell phone and record/take a picture. Truth be told, even if I did that, it wouldn't mean jack shit since it was too dark for my phone to capture anything, but now I understand better people who see something strange and don't come up with any pictures or anything more than a witness account...
