I saw a Fastwalker last night.
We drove up to our house, just after 10:00 p.m. My spouse and I could hear a jet engine, relatively close; it was very loud. We looked around but could not locate the source of the sound, however, the noise indicated it was trailing towards the East at a high rate of speed.
As the sound of the jet engines faded away, my spouse noticed a light in the sky, due south of our position, at approximately 80 degrees. It was traveling due North and was the brightness of a star.
This light was moving at a high rate of speed and appeared to be just inside our atmosphere. As it moved to 90 degrees (directly over our heads), it made a slight course correction and veered off to the North/Northwest, a difference of about 5 degrees. Until it changed course, we just assumed it was a satellite.
We are used to seeing jets at 30,000 to 35,000 ft. AGL and can clearly make out their navigational lights, even at that altitude (on a clear night like last night), however, this light was constant and did not flash, strobe, or blink in any fashion. It was a solid, star-like light, moving at the same rate, as if we were seeing the International Space Station, which we have watched many times.
I would have thought nothing of it, until that 5 degree course change. I came inside and pulled up heavens-above.com but did not find any satellite, that would have crossed over our home in North Central West Texas, at 22:15 hours.
It wasn't a satellite, jet or other known object. Since it reamins unidentified, it is classified as an unknown.
