There is a ridiculously bright star in the southwest skies of Florida

it's too early to be venus... what constellation is it in?

Go ahead and take a picture of it. Throw it up on [link to www.imageshack.com] and share it with us.

Very few stars visible tonight, expect this one. Please someone else confirm.

X-37B?

Hmmm..... iPhone camera probably wont capture it. Just go out and look. If no one else can see it then it's probably some shitty local event.

ok fine. I'll try and snap a photo. brb

finally noticed that bright ass bitch..huh....i've been watching that thang for quite a while and it is the same spot and boy is it bright!!!....venus or a big ass satellite or something else....whatever it is...it sure is bright...

iPhone picture fail. Pic was straight blackness. If no one else saw it by now it's probably nothing.

Is it flashing green red and blue?

Anunnnaki starship

.... yes... so it's a plane?

Saturn

It's Sirius if it's not moving. It's south of Orion's Belt right?

Are you by chance female? Just saying..look it up women can see the color changes in saturn better than men. It will look green - red- blueish sometimes.

youtube it

So does Sirius. They're both in the same area right now, so they may be difficult to differentiate.

I think I might need to be correct I think you are correct here Sirius...not saturn...it's been a long day forgivr me

EDIT---(corrected and forgive) Good grief I am tired!

Probably at this time of night it's not Sirius in the FLA southern sky.. more likely Canopus (2nd in brightness to Sirius) Sirius would be setting in the SW by now..

yep, Sirius

Right now, from Tampa, you should have;
Sirius, 240T 17 degrees up
Procyon, 251T 40
Pollux, 281T 50
Betelgeuse, 268T 18
Regulus, 213T 72
GOES 15, 193T 57

Just went outside to look (SE of Tampa).....that's SIRIUS.

Nothing to see here....move along now

cool, thanks!

Wow so that is Sirus? I am always fascinated with the sparkling when I see it during the night like I feel a connection to it for some reason.

Yep. That's Sirius, she's a beauty.

I can see this from Cebu, PHilippines too.....very beautiful and bright....

I have also seen this bright light I worked in the Busch Gardens area and have taken a pic of this the closer it was to me it was huge. I took two pics in which the shape changed. I also seen a helicopter fly pretty quickly by it. I have been trying to find out just what is myself. I have been seeing this for several weeks and it doesnt come out every night and it doesnt last all night either. Still in the dark.

Saturn I saw it here in sc too

She is a beauty

It's the mothership.
