at approx 7pm,12/23/00,me,and a friend were out looking for Bubba,saw a bright light about 35 degrees in the sky south of Chandler Az. We were traveling south on Arizona Avenue when I saw the light, very bright, white, and unchanging. We stopped in a parking lot S.E. corner of Az. Ave and Elliott road. I was looking at it with binoculars and after about 10-15 minutes,we decided it was a star. But was too bright. Left the area. Came back to look again at 8:45 or so. Saw light while going east on elliott. Turned south on Az.Ave and was gone.We know it was there and not moving. Camne back with daughter to look again. Saw light in same place, bright, trees were in the way, turned corner to look again, it was gone. We didn't see it leave because of trees.
