[quote:Anonymous Coward 896179:MV8xMDU1NTI4XzE2NzU0MDI2XzcwMEMyNERB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 916338] I saw a very bright object that seemed to blink, not the twinkle that you associate with the stars that was in the Western sky. Venus had already disappeared behind the mountain across from my house so I was pretty sure I wasn't confusing this object with Venus. It seemed to move quite quickly in the night sky but I'm not really saying that I think it was moving. The time was about 10:45 p.m. so I decided to take a look the next night. I watch Venus disappear and was out of sight by 10:00 from the area I can view. That night was as clear as a bell but I did not see the bright object again. It was not in the sky and I stayed up until 11:15. This object was very very bright and I will repeat, it blinked. I don't know if it's the same object you are seeing but it was in my Western sky. [/quote] Well, if it was visibly moving relative to the stars, then it certainly wasn't a star or a planet. Some satellites blink, but fewer nowadays than used to; it happens if they're spinning, as sunlight glints off different parts of the structure. If not, then it was probably an aircraft of some kind. You can get forecasts for overflights of various spacecraft for any location in the world here: http://www.heavens-above.com/ Pull off a schedule for your site, and then go out and spot yourself a few satellites so you'll know what they look like in future.

I keep seeing this object after sunset in the western sky. Very high up like 45 degrees, far too high to be Venus.
Saw it again last night.
Did a GLP search and came up with half a dozen threads of people all over seeing this thing, as well. WTF is this thing.
Venus usually also produces a 5 pointed star due to the way is phases similarly to the moon in a crescent. This thing does not have a classic 5 pointed star flare to it. More like a 6 pointed flare.

ONCE IN A WHILE... people mistake Venus this way. One person will post and it will quickly be discarded. Here we have 6 posts, I am sure there are another 10 to go with that, maybe more. This is unusual.
