Location: Perth (Australia), , Australia

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

On the first of January, 2008.1630 Zulu (PERTH) I was driving home along canning HWY, from Fremantle toward the east, duration was approximately 20 minutes.

Object is a bright yellow and a bit orange light at high attitude, the size is about a street light observed from ground.

At first I though it was a helicopter doing a search mission.

Police and SAR helicopter around the metro area at night is very usual. I am a private pilot myself.

5 minutes has pass and it was still sitting there and there was aircraft departing from Jandakot, it appears to be clearly that is something that I never see before.

Even from distance I can identify the NAV light and strobe light from AC, the unidentified light source position is east.

After i got back home and i was standing on the drive way waiting for movement, but still it doesn't move.

i got bored so i went back home.
