Reported: 2005-12-10 17:31 Pacific
Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Dickensonville, VA, USA

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

The object appeared to be changing from a round to an oblong shape in a more or less regular manner. Color was oscillating between red and white, like it was rotating.

The object was first sighted in the western sky at about 19:45 when a neighbor called and alerted me to its presence. He said he had first spotted it about 30 minutes earlier while driving. My wife and I observed it for about 5 minutes, and it disappeared suddenly. It reappeared just as suddenly about 5 minutes later and appeared to be larger, and better defined. I watched it for about 15 more minutes when it disappeared at 20:15.

NUFORC Note:

We suspect the individual was observing Venus. PD
