I can describe it to you, and even draw you a picture. I was hoping for other people in the area to go look and see if they see the same thing though. Here's your pic. | | ---*--- | | With venus being the asterisk in the middle. Like I said, probably just some cool atmospheric conditions that make it appear that way, but wow it doesn't look like it did anytime in the last 2 or 3 months I've been watching it. |

I can't even see it through the view finder, but its still very much apparent. It's kind of like some kind of lens flare, but its happening in front of my eyes. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 15640397 United States 05/10/2012 10:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are you also seeing the 4 lines of light coming off of it? Basically like a compass, point North, South, East and West? Or is that just us here? I see 4 points, not so much further than a half inch to my eye. Still bright for a planet. Me too, about the same length too, small but noticeably there. Wow. just Wow. Here is confirmation of what I was saying people, thank you BubbleHead! Anyone else? |

I simply wanted to report, as an amateur astronomer, what I am seeing with my own eyes. And then asked 2 other people here to confirm what I saw. |

Me and 2 other people confirmed this observation, then I posted it online seeking more confirmation. Thank you though. |

I'm on the west coast beaches of Florida and what I saw through my Meade ETX-60 telescope tonight is bothersome. I have a bad feeling 2012 is the real deal guys...

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 15640397 United States 05/11/2012 12:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ok I live in southern michigan just south of ann arbor sighting was looking west up in sky. I seen the crazy bright light like changing colors. Then 2 orange lighted crafts blinking as in response to each other while hovering in one spot then taking off in different directions one right over me. to high to dark for good view of it over me. made noise not a weird sound either kinda like a constant loud wooshing Quoting: Rob 15601583 I'm west of Ann Arbor, didn't see what you saw. But Venus was very bright, and seemed to throw off this cross shape, 4 points going in North, South, East, West. Almost like what you would see in lense flare on a camera, but it wasn't that. |
Rob User ID: 15601583 United States 05/11/2012 12:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There was also other strange lights that were all hovering at one point 2 sets of blinking white lights that followed each other perfectly, each set of 2 going different directions in perfect formation after hovering. One red light hovered then left. the two orange blinking ones the blinked communication I already mentioned in previous post where one flew right over me slowly afterwards. Then the really bright constant light u say is Venus I don't know cuz that was really weird,it was like changing blue orangish white in the points almost looked to close like to bright in out atmosphere so wierd!!!!! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15640397 I'm in southern Ontario... my scope is pretty old and not the best of quality but it does work :) I was viewing Venus (least what I thought was Venus) earlier this evening, and I would describe what I saw exactly the way you did.... a cross shape... just like a lens flare. |
