We (me and my girlfriend) were walking home, we were looking at the hyades, when suddenly my girlfriend screams and points out something I couldn't identify. I could get a good look at it as it glided through the air.

There was no tail (like a comet), it was too big for an airplane flying so high that we couldn't hear the engines. It was not a plane, not a comet, not a tracer of the sky and no moon. I'm very skeptical about all of this, and I didn't really believe it, but I do now. 

I'm sure we don't know something, maybe it was a strange natural effect, but I'm sure it's unknown. I have already read many books about strange things in this life on earth, I know many strange natural effects, but this one is unknown!
