Brilliant Red Starlike object in east sky on 11-20-03 in Tempe AZ
Driving home from the store my kids and I noticed an object far to the east that looked like a very bright star only it was a very deep red. It's difficult to explain but you knew it wasn't an airplane by the intensity of the light and the color of the red (the red was too concentrated) also the object seemed to be hovering in one spot. My kids and I watched it after we got home as it seemed to be drifting forward, then drifting to the north. During the last 10 minutes it stayed stationary before finally in one sharp movement that seemed to be eastward it just disappeared almost as if it evaporated, disappearing into thin air. I would love to know if anyone else noticed this or what it was.

Additional information to my 11/20/03 report (Brilliant Red Starlike object in east sky on 11-20-03 in Tempe AZ)
In addition to the report I left on 11/20/03 (Brilliant Red Starlike object in east sky on 11-20-03 in Tempe AZ) I also wanted to add after reading (Flashing red light moving slowly) from the same date that I too saw the two airplanes in what appeared to be the same area where the object had been. One of the aircraft continually circled the area for approximately 15 minutes, it could have been longer but I went inside after determining the red object wasn't going to come back. These seemed to be private planes although it was too dark to say for sure I'm guessing by the lights and the sounds. I got the distinct impression from the planes behavior that they were looking for the same thing my kids and I had seen.
