Reported: 2007-03-20 23:09 Pacific
Duration: Two Days
No of observers: 2

Location: Beatrice, NE, USA

Shape: Light

I saw a low positioned yellow light that disappeared after a short period of time, haven't seen it since.

I was in the parking lot of my apartment building and I noticed a bright light in the western part of the night sky. It was brighter than any star I’ve ever seen. It was also lower in the sky than any of the other stars in the night sky. I ran some errands and it was still in the sky, not moving. I thought it was strange that it was so low in the sky, telephone poles and trees covered it up, which I’ve never had happen to any star I’ve seen. I ran into my grandparent’s house to pick up some blankets I left there. I was in their house for about an hour and a half. When I came outside the light was gone. My sister was with me during this time period, and I had mentioned it to her. She is younger so she didn't really think anything of it, except it was weird when it wasn't there when we left our grandparent's house.

The next night probably around the same time as last night that same light was there again. I noticed that the light seemed a yellowish color, as opposed to the other stars in the sky which were white. It was in the sky for an hour or so longer than before, but it disappeared sometime within that night while I was sleeping. I haven’t seen the light since then, and I find myself looking for it. I went and tried figuring out if it was maybe a planet or something that people from Earth can see sometimes. However, I found nothing that looked like what I had seen.
