NUFORC Sighting 07591

Occurred: 1993-09-15 00:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 1999-01-01 00:00 Pacific
Duration:
No of observers: 3

Location: Fremont, IN, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Light in sky changed colors from green to red to white constantly: appeared after midnight for ~1 month (Star?)

While outside in font yard looking for meteor shower, observed star-sized light WNW of my location 40 degrees above horizon. Binoculars were of no help. Over next several nights, saw same thing in same position in sky. However, the object would only appear after midnight. If I would go out at 11 or 11:30, I wouldn't see it. This is the only thing that seems odd to me. I'm sure it was a star or planet, but it makes me wonder.

NUFORC Note:

This report is not inconsistent with the many reports we receive of twinkling stars, or of planets in the night sky.
