Richi, it sounds similar to an experience that I had in October last year just before October 14th. I was viewing it with my naked eye without binoculars. Here’s what I wrote about it back then – See what you think.
I was working at my computer late on October 12th & I had just finished posting a comment to someone on another forum saying that I hoped I would at least get to see a sighting of a smaller lightship over here. Approximately 10 minutes later around midnight I felt a sudden surge of energy go through my head and body and I “knew” instantly that I needed to go outside to look & see if one was present, which I did.
I looked straight up to the sky to my right, there were no stars at all in that area except for this one very bright white light which seemed to expand & contract in size. After a few minutes I noticed that it also had red lights at what looked to be the bottom of the light source blinking on & off every now & then. I decided to wait for a while to see if it was perhaps only a plane, although the light seemed far too big for me to be able to see a plane at that distance. It also moved in the sky dancing around like a fire fly & faded in & out from view at times so I knew that it wasn’t a star & planes don’t move like that either.
It seemed to stay more or less in one particular area of the sky but it moved randomly up & down & around in this particular area. I stayed outside for nearly 10 minutes watching then I had to go in because I was getting too cold. I went outside 3 more times to check up until 1:00am. Each time it was still there in that same area jigging around & pulsating light. At one stage I also saw a golden color. So that was my first possible sighting of a lightship.
