Hi,
I reported the two stars over a week ago on MUFON. One is bright, one is not as bright, and they were about 1/2 moon width apart. As I was watching, they simply disappeared. From Sacramento, the stars were at about 160 degrees from north, and about 50 degrees elevation.
By the way, I have an observatory. I am not easily fooled by stars. These were not stars.
Bye

Hi all,

Just tonight, I saw a fairly bright star as I was driving home...problem is, it's a double star.. meaning there are 2 stars extremely close together. As I approched the house, I noticed another very bright star at appox. 160* from the 'double star'. I then realized that these 2 stars are the same ones I've been looking at since this past summer, but only now, it seems even brighter!

Rushing inside my house to grab the digital camera, I zoomed in at max and bingo, it's an orb as clear as day hovering at appox 3,000ft at about 3 miles away, in a NW direction. I've taken 4 vids with the camera and 5-6 pics of zoomed in. However, the pictures are not coming through when reviewing....

gRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. very frustrating !!! It's still there as of this post and has been there for months. but just brighter..

I don't know anyone that has a camera close by.. i'll see if I can get the damm camera to get the pics..in the mean time..

Here's my location.. incase someone can confirm my ordinates for the orbs using the coordinates of my house..

I took the pic out and it's confirmed, as being SW of my house.

Hello everyone,

I was going to ask if anyone saw anything odd tonight - about 6:00 PM? I work in the Portland, OR area and I went outside for a quick break. When I turned towards SW Portland I saw what looked like two very bright stars - one at 11 o'clock and the other at 5 o'clock. I'm sure they were just helicopters, one would move south and the other would follow.

I live in the country in south Washington and have witnessed these occurrences more and more over the last few months. Two friends and I witnessed a large bright light move quickly through the sky last July and since then I've seen these "dancing stars". I just wish I knew exactly how stars moved (and planets) - cause I'd say if UFO's didn't want to be detected by the naked eye - they would move like the "dancing stars" like I've seen lately. If someone could explain to me how stars move in the sky, it might alleviate some confusion for me. Thanks everyone and have a splendiferous night!

Hi,

I am in Manchester, UK and saw a very bright object in the sky around 120 degrees to the right of the moon about 4.30pm GMT. I don't know the first thing about stars, but I could see the object in the sky even before the sky went dark. It was so bright it was almost like it was emitting rays of light at the base.

Is this a star? It was stationary and I've never seen anything like this before.

So... five pages later... Jupiter and Venus... as was suggested on the first page.

I blame this on schools not teaching astronomy anymore
