Reported: 2001-04-27 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5+ minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Madison, AL, USA

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object

Purple and green blinking stationary object.

At first, I thought that the object might be a satellite or star, but then I noticed that it was blinking. I went inside my house and grabbed my binoculars for a better look. Upon closer inspection, the object had lights on it that were blinking purple and green, but no other features could be determined. I called my wife out so she could see it, but she couldn't tell any more about it than I could. After several minutes of staring at it do nothing but blink, I decided to go back inside.

NUFORC Note:

We suspect the witnesses may have been observing the star, "Sirius," in the southern sky. We receive many reports about that star. PD
