Reported: 2009-01-27 17:51 Pacific
Duration: 1 hour+
No of observers: 7

Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

Very bright light under clouds that isn't moving.

Very bright light shining in western sky about 45 degrees up. There is a haze of light cloud cover, and no stars or celestial bodies visible. Light seems to be just below clouds.

There is a slight haze around the light, which could be due to the haziness of the clouds. A couple low-flying airplanes have passed below it.

It is not moving like a plane, but seems to wobble a little bit and light changes intensity, yet is very very bright. First explanation is that it could be Venus, but that would be lower to the horizon than this light.

A friend with a telescope says he saw one bright light with 2 smaller lights on it too.
