Description

Saw this object a few evenings ago and while I first dismissed it as an airliner, I kept watching and started to feel less confident. I had been watching it for a few minutes before grabbing this video, and it never changed brightness or shape across the sky. While its movement was linear, there were no aviation lights and it was significantly brighter than just about anything else in the sky that evening (the other large object is Mars, which has been extremely bright lately with the cold and clear nights). Funny enough, there was a very obvious satellite that flew right by it at some point and it was only about 25% as bright as this. I'm not suggesting it's ET, but I'm having trouble coming up with a possible identity. Could it simply be a much, much brighter satellite? Never seen anything so vivid without obvious identifying markers. This is in BC, Canada, by the way.
