The thing faded the closer it was to the end. It was travelling west, and faded on side facing the east.

It wasn't a ball shape. It looked like a crescent.

I've looked up videos of comets, meteorites etc. and I can't find anything that looks like what I saw. Someone on Yahoo Answers told me it was some satellite reflecting light, and I just cannot believe that. It just doesn't match the description of what I saw.

Holy Fuck OP I swear to god I was in Jamaica for a vacation a few years back, sitting on the beach looking at the stars and I saw the exact thing you describe. Never told anybody.

Except the one I saw had a bit more of a purple hue to it. Exact crescent shape, fast as hell and big.

Need more information. How far did you see it travel? Did it travel in a line, an arc or complicated pattern? How big was it? What colour was it, teal like the pic?

Since OP is not answering,

The one I saw traversed the entire night sky from end to end in the blink of an eye in a straight line, looking up at the night sky it was about the size of an acorn. It was purple.

If you took an acorn and held it straight up as far from your face as you can, that was the size comparison between the flying object and the other stars.

Okay...it BARELY traveled. As I said, it looked as if it disappeared the second it appeared, but I saw it long enough to see it zoom west.

I will describe it like this. Imagine it WAS a spaceship or something. Imagine it was travelling at extremely high speeds, while invisible, then, for a split second, you could see it, then it was invisible again.

it looked like it was going straight. Even if it was travelling in an arc form or whatever, I doubt I'd notice it, since it disappeared so quickly.

>What colour was it, teal like the pic?
Yes, it was around the same color. Lightish blue.

OP here. The one I saw looked bigger than when you see a plane in the sky. Way bigger. I couldn't tell you how high it seemed.

If I knew what a Boeing plane looked like at different altitudes, I'd be able to say, but I don't.

Don't know about the shape, but the size and odd color is something I've seen, too. It was still probably a meteor, just much closer to you and at a much steeper angle of entry than the stereotypical thin streak ones. Makes them look larger and last less time. The color comes from the various metals/surrounding atmosphere igniting.

Was there any streak at all, or did the whole object appear to be a unit? If it had stopped dead, would you expect it to still look like a crescent?

There wasn't any streak at all, it only faded. It disappeared completely.

>If it had stopped dead, would you expect it to still look like a crescent?

I honestly don't know. If it was circular, it probably wouldn't look like a crescent, right?
