NUFORC Sighting 59921

Occurred: 2007-08-12 01:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2007-11-18 11:52 Pacific
Duration: 3 hours at least
No of observers: 1

Location: Alameda, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a single red light that never changed shape or color but moved in an unconventional fasion.

Sometimes around 3 am I go out and look up at the sky with my naked eyes. On two different occasions when looking straight up I've seen this star sized red light that moves around now and then. I'm wondering if it's some kind of satellite. It stays in one place though and then moves a few degrees and stops and then repeats this moving a few degress from there to a different spot. I have not seen it disappear, it outlasted me as I don't have much stamina. What I've done is gone back inside for awhile to rest and then I've come back outside to see if it's still there and I was able to find it quickly and it continued doing its strange stopping and then moving a few degrees and stopping again.

It stays completely red the whole time and does not scintilate at all. I have to admit, part of me is wondering if it's a UFO but I've never heard of a UFO described this way. If you know what it is please enlighten me.

I saw this in Alameda California. Unfortunately, I don't know the date, it was during last summer, that's all I remember. I don't think it was ET, I think it may have been a manmade UAV. I recently joined an Astronomy forum and someone there thought I should report it here. I have to say that I am surprised that so far no one else has seen something like this on the forum I joined.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD
