Description (In Witness's Own Words): It could have been a comet but it was very slow and almost appeared to be moving upwards. It appeared at about 10:14 pm, I had just noticed something moving above me and looked up. It was a large light, brighter than a plane and very white, it looked slightly bigger than the brightest star I could see. It was moving slightly slower than a plane but as it burnt out/dimmed it looked like it was dimming because it was moving upward while it was moving forward which was toward the south. I watched it for about 12 seconds before it dimmed completely and I could not see it. I will not include graphics because it was just a bright white light in the night sky.
