Speaking of seeing something strange....I was having a 5am planet session this morning and noticed a bright star obscured by cloud in the south east. Then I realized there shouldn't be any bright stars there so I had a look through the binos. What I saw seemed to look like a comet with either a tail or light shining to the SSW - away from it's direction of travel which seemed to be slowly moving to the SE and I'm not convinced it was actually obscured by cloud as it seemed to be making it's own little 'cloud'. Speed was maybe half that of the ISS. Later when I looked back there was still a small puff of cloud where I had last seen it. Perhaps it was a police chopper with searchlight in Melbourne being refracted 150km to the west.....whatever it was, it was the weirdest thing I've seen in the sky.
