   Hi all,   
      
   I was stargazing tonight in Holland and at 1:50 AM GMT I suddenly saw a   
   bright star,   
   near Deneb el Okab (Aquila) with at least the magnitude of Jupiter (-2   
   to -4). While thinking: "Can't be Jupiter" it suddenly dropped to Mag. +6,   
   barely visible inthe center of my eye.   
   Don't know how long it had the bright magnitude, but definitly no longer   
   than a minute. Dropped within seconds, non-moving.   
      
   Satelite? Supernova? Any more sightings?   
      
   Steve.
