Have You Spotted The Bright Object Lighting Up Our Skies?

The best things about living in Montana are the wide-open spaces and picture-perfect night sky views.

Assuming we don't have cloud cover, the night sky is absolutely breathtaking if you get away from the city lights.

Staying on that topic, have you seen the super bright object in the eastern sky every morning lately?

Bright Object In Eastern Sky

If you've recently seen a bright object in the eastern sky early in the morning, you're not alone!

Driving into work every day, this bright object has caught my attention and left me wondering what it is.

Is it an alien invasion or maybe a massive satellite of some sort?

I mean, after all, Great Falls is known for alien invasions haha
