NASA Says Mysterious Light May Be Space Station

NASA said the rate of movement, time of night, and brightness of the light are consistent with the theory that the light is from the space station.

The only report that conflicts with this theory is that some witnesses claimed that the light was "jumping around."

Witnesses say they saw the light for about 10 minutes. It takes the space station seven minutes to go from horizon to horizon.

There was a high layer of cirrus clouds that night, which would affect the color of the light.

NASA also said the light was not a meteor because meteors last only seconds.
