I'm thinking it was either space junk burning up in the atmosphere
(doubtful based on the lack of a tail and considering how slow the
object was moving) or a very large, *extremely* slow-moving meteorite
(also doubtful, for the same reasons). I also thought about the ISS,
but I wouldn't know how likely that is, and I don't know why the space
station would fade out and vanish. If you have any insight in to what
I may have witnessed, help would be greatly appreciated.


A satellite...an Iridium Flare.
See www.heavens-above.com for predictions.

Hi Eric,

The description doesn't sound like an Iridium flare. I checked Heavens-
Above and found that there was a ISS pass visible from Fargo, ND. The
pass trajectory and timing closely match what you have seen, including
the "disappearing" act at the end.
