2001-09-07 - Regina, SK - Light

While facing east in my bedroom at 4:00 a.m. central standard time, I saw what appeared to be a very bright star in the sky, low on the horizon. It was in view just above the roof top of my neighbour's house which is across the back laneway from my house. The object appeared to remain motionless. I thought it was the lights of an airline coming straight at me, which would give the appearance of a stationary object. It did not fly over me however, and remained in the sky in the same spot for about 45 minutes. At 4:45 a.m. I called to Regina City Police to report a strange object in the sky and a police car was dispatched to investigate. The object began to emit a red light on either side, so it appeared as a white light between to red lights. At 5:15 a.m. the object was still in the same spot in the sky but now began to drift from right to left and then left to right, very slowly. It also began to rise slowly in the sky. It went behind some tall trees,

((NUFORC Note: Source is anonymous. If the object was in the eastern sky, the sighting is consistent with a view of Venus. It is very prominent in the eastern sky, and it would appear to rise off the horizon, and move generally from left to right. PD))
