red light in southern sky
was switching water around for nightly watering duties at work. looked up into the southern sky, saw what i thought was a red star, as Mars has been in the southern sky the past month. but then remembered that Mars was in the Southwestern sky and this red "star" (more of a burn Orange to Red), was directly south. Then I noticed the "star" moving to the north. I shook my head in disbelief. Looked at it again, and it sure was moving. If I had a ruler with me, and held it to where i first saw it until it took a 90 degree squared turn to the east, it would have traveled about 4 to 6 inches, then traveled the same distance to the east from the turn. The light then flickered a couple times like it was loosing power and then disappeared. Tried to make visual contact again, after moving to a darker area, and was unable too.
((NUFORC Note: We talked with this witness, and he sounded to us to be sincere and credible. PD))
