Bright stars fading out

[notdej]

Know all about satellites and what they look like in the night sky when spotted.
What I saw was NOT a satellite and I would gamble my life on that.
I could also say...Its coming up to 2018 & it seems people still do not know that some people do know about satellites

Fascinating.

Wonderful....

The point I was fascinated with is that no one so far (in this ufo forum of which many have been at it for a long time) has suggested the possibility of satellites for the OP to consider...

Again:

Fascinating

My description should have been obvious enough to realize I was not describing a satellite in the sky...Apparently obvious to everybody except for you...

Regarding the fading stars:

If the light in question isn't moving, and you've ruled-out aircraft, then geostationary satellites are the next most reasonable explanation.
When reflecting at the observer, they would look like a star, and then fade out.
Apparently, there are apps that will tell you what you're looking at just by pointing your phone at it.
I don't use a cellphone, so I've never tried it though.

A couple of times when I've spotted something that I assumed was a satellite, that suddenly stopped, and then after a while just went away when I wasn't watching it.
