Do you think this is an effect of the night scopes? or is there some other phenominon going on here. I give the video 100% credability, as it seems several observers see the same thing... what are they seeing. Seems the brightest is over the biggest city.

Could be a streak from a satellite optical communications array. This has been experimented before, a communication link with satellites by sending large amounts of data via an infrared laser.

I would put that down to an atmospheric phenomenon similar to a sundog like this (http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k69/watertiger/450WEATHER_SUN_DOG_WHSE101_55819002.jpg). Google image 'sundog' (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=sundog&gbv=2) and you'll see all sorts of atmo phenomena.

"Its probably the haze off mars."
:rofl:
The optical satellite theory does seem the most likely. But if it was a secret millitary project it could be pretty much anything.
