Hey guys,
Its about 7:23am, and I've been looking out the window at this, wondering what the hell it is.

I'm in south London, and there's something bright in the sky, a light / reflection / something, which looks like its moving around slightly. If there's anyone from around London that has a second, please have a look to the south / south east, roughly 20 degrees up. There's very little cloud.

At first I thought it must be a star, then I thought maybe a satellite, but it looks like its moving around a bit. Wish I had a telescope!

Yes, Venus.

Sometimes it's so bright it can even (faintly) be seen during the day, if you know where to look.

Install Google SkyMap and you can point your phone at the object and it will tell you what it is. It's a very interesting app.

Its a spy satellite, sent up by illegal immigrants on tax payers money, which listens in to your amazon alexa and causes cancer.

That's what the daily mail said anyway.
