No of observers: 1

Location: Woodland Hills/West Hills, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright, stationary object next to the moon, gone the next day.

I am an 18 year old male. It was late at night about a week ago and I was looking up towards the moon. Directly to the left of the moon was an unusual light. It somewhat resembled a star at first, but then it became clear that it was giving off both blue and red light, and also had a shaft of light on the front of it, which distorted its twinkling, and made it look more unusual. I watched the object for several minutes, wondering what it was. It stayed stationary the whole time, and eventually I went to bed.

This object was very bright and memorable. I witnessed a similar object the next night, elsewhere in the sky. Once again I observed it for several minutes and it stayed stationary. These objects are no longer in the sky. The moon offered a great reference point for the first one I saw, since it was so close to the left of the moon, and it is obvious that whatever it was is now gone. That’s all there was to it!
