2003-08-07 - Wilmington, CA - Diamond

red ufo seen above the northern sky/horizon over Wilmington, Ca

Went into the back yard with my dog. Sat in a chair and relaxed, looking into the night sky. High cirus clouds came across the eastern sky, which part of, and I know this sounds totally crazy and may be just my imagination, formed a face, which was a cross betwwen the feline face found on Mars and the face as seen on the shroud of Turin. The clouds slowly disapated and I closed my eyes for a minute and relaxed. Then I opened my eyes and looked to the north and saw a red glowing object halfway between the horizon and top of the night sky. I had my glasses on. There was no twinkle, just a changing light pattern which was due to the rotation of the object. I stared at it for a minute and then ran into the house to check the time. I came back into the yard and it was still there. It didn't move, then it moved a little bit to the left, then went dim. The whole shiting must have lasted 4 minutes.
