I Think I Saw My First UFO!

Ok earlier tonight I walked to the store to get some smokes and I saw a really bright light up in the sky which i looked at for about 10 min when I left the store. I decided to show my gf once I got back in the house and she was like "Oh its the north star" But it was to the west and usually the star is north of where im at. Anyway, I showed her and then watched this bright light for about 10 more minutes and it just sat there. I checked online to see if there were any planets tonight visible and from what i came up with, Venus is supposed to be visible. So I was like cool, its Venus!! I went outside and looked at it a little while longer and didnt think much of it besides the fact that I thought it was a planet. Anyway, i just went out to look at it again and it WASNT THERE??? Its a clear sky tonight and just want to know if anyone else saw it too. I live in Seattle, WA

Woot! Even if it turns out not to be one, it is still exciting to see something you cant explain.

Now you are going to be hooked.

YEAH TOTALLY!!!! Im totally stoked right now that I might have seen one for my first time. I wish i would have watched it now though to see what happened.

I saw it as well - it was really bright tonight. I'm sure it's still Venus, but I'm no expert. BTW - I'm 60 miles north of Seattle.

Yeah because Venus just vanishes from time to time.

The one line rule sucks.

Ok well as much as id like to think it was a ufo, im pretty sure it was Venus now. Darn!!! Oh well
