Refer. to the report from Carmichaels, Pa. on 21 March 2004 at 20:30 hrs.

My son and I were six miles from Carmichaels, Pa in the village of Garards Fort, Pa on a hill using a moderately good telescopestar gazing and we as well saw the light inthe western sky, however with our charts and maps we concluded the light was Venus, I believe the atmosphere played into the glow and movement of the planet it did look very odd. The area howver does have heavy aircraft traffic with Pgh. Int. airport to the north and Morgantown, WV regional airport to the south, but the aircraft are easily identifiable in our location. The object we suspect to be Venus was not an aircraft as we know them.
