For the past ten minutes I've been watching an extremely bright object drift overhead. It is brighter than Venus, is drifting NNE to SSW, right now is due north and almost overhead from my location in North Salt Lake. I only have 10x25mm bino with me. It appears spherical with an appendage sticking out one side. I think it's in the atmosphere, if it's orbiting, it is very far, not a low orbit at all. Moving too slowly. I'll follow it for as long as I can. Check the time on this message. Probably only going to be visible for a little while longer. Still visible in a bright blue sky, the sun isn't up yet though. Any confirmations are appreciated.
