No of observers: 1

Location: Joplin, MO, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Small, stationary, reddish-orange, star-like object disappears.

My wife and I were driving south on Florida street in town. I like to try to spot planets and various stars. I was looking eastward and I saw what looked like a reddish-orange star. I thought maybe it was Mars, but after a few seconds it disappeared. The moon was full and I could see that there were no clouds in the area. There were some trees but they never blocked my view. I kept looking around thinking maybe it was a light on a tower but I never saw it again. I only think that it could be a UFO. I am not sure, but it was really odd. Starry Night Pro shows that Mars was more to the west of where I saw this object. Anyway, planets and stars don’t just stop shinning like that.




NUFORC Note:

We assume the witness means a date of March 10, not May 10. We have altered the date above. PD
