HEERLEN, LB — 23 feb 2023 om 21:44 european time/amsterdam.

I was with my mother on the phone and I walked to the balkony and I saw a small strange short beam of light high up/far away in the sky.

It looked like a clipped of toe nail, too small to be the moon, to big to be a star or a plane.

So what was it ?

The sky is clouded, so I just checked the position of the moon, in stellarium. I thought it might have been the moon, but it cannot be, because the moon is near the horizon ?!

STRANGE OR WHAT ?!

Maybe mars, maybe something else ?

Strange...

It disappeared behind a cloud.... so it's higher than clouds for sure.

The sighting was in the Netherlands, way below in the south part of it.

Line of sight/direction mostly towards the west...

My best explanation for what I saw might be:

A plane ascending into the sky and maybe shining it's light on the clouds, briefly !?

Very maybe helichopter but I don't think they go that high...

The sighting was most likely very high above Maastricht Airport... maybe just a jet flying over the Netherlands towards America... or something... or England... I don't know...

It disappeared before I could take a picture...

Bye for now,
Skybuck.

Position and direction improved, adding "impression" image of what I saw...
