text: a different satellite! is it true? on february which is the first day of chinese new year, i go out and have a look to the sky. the time i go out is in the midnight, about 1-2 o'clock in the morning. on southwest, i saw there is a bright satelite in the sky. i never saw such a satelite before. it is just different. the bright is unusual. is that a planet? then, i go in my house and surfing the net. when i go out again, the satelite had disappear. what is that? if you could perceive motion then it was a satelite.  if not, i'd bet on venus too...though that's a bit early...maybe your watch was wrong? ;-)  btw, just a little observation will lead you to see many satelites.  there is even a site that will tell you when you can see them pass over and their magnitude after you supply your coordinates.  (google it if you don't believe me!)  you can use this to shock and awe your friends by "demonstrating" your psychic abilities to "feel" ufo's before they arrive.
