Lol, that's just one of those red lights so planes know local altitudes.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48580502


It starts out way too high, and moves downward until it disappears behind the mountains, every night.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1508631


If you observe that its moving it means that its close to you, i.e. not a space rock etc.

BTW do you know that planes take off every night (per schedule) from the same place and would be in the same place at the same time night after night.

Don't get me wrong, I love doom, but this doom is for idiots.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48277384


Definitely not a plane, its fairly stationary and moves very slow, with the rotation of the planet.

Could you please use an exposure that shows the surrounding stars, then upload that picture to www.nova.astrometry.net That way we can have some reference of which part of the sky the object is located in.
If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes.

Found this article:
Venus will brighten this month to magnitude -4.5. By month’s end, it will set nearly 2 hours after sunset. But it remains low above the southwestern horizon after sunset for northern observers. Stargazers in the southern hemisphere get a much better view of Venus after sunset, as well as the planets Mercury and Saturn and the bright red supergiant star Antares. By month’s end, the visible face of Venus is 50% illuminated. - See more at: [link to oneminuteastronomer.com]

You know all of these threads we keep seeing about the object visible in the western sky?

We finally had a clear night tonight, and I was able to take some pictures. I don't have a telescope, so this was the best I could do:

This object is visible just above the western horizon, right after sunset, but it disappears behind the horizon after only 30 minutes.

It's not Venus. Venus dominates the sky a little later, in an entirely different location, and is white instead of orange.

It's not Mars. Mars doesn't show up until closer to morning.

Is it naked eye? anyone else is able to see it if true. Is it a Planet? why not stretch the telescope to see it more detailed?

I think that new object would cause the Sun to grow bigger soon, due to a telepathic message I just received: Thread: I saw entities while in sleep paralysis hours ago; they told me telepathically, "Between November 9 to November 28, sun will grow bigger"

Hey All,

My whole family saw this object around dusk last night (live in Colorado) and we were shocked! We all debated what is was, it looked like a stationary orange comet or mini sun. I am going out tonight with my camera to try and get photos and will post em.

Keep your eyes on the skies!

This was not Venus lol, I witnessed it around 6:30pm so there was plenty of light, it was bright, large and directly over the rocky mountains, so due west not southwest. If anything, it was slightly northwest. No other objects other than moon and sun were visible at this time.

I too am from the southern Oregon west coast and have seen this weird light, At first i thought it was a plane coming in to land but even though it looks like is moving its not, looking at it with binoculars you can see 2 objects. It also seems to move with the sun as it goes down.

Greengirl, I can see it from northwest Montana. It is almost due south from my location.
My wife was thinking it is a plane beacon, but we have lived here for years and there is no plane beacon. I also saw it on Thursday night from about 100 miles northeast of my location. It is bright orange and good sized for a star. Just at dusk it appears, and like I said, not a single other star in the sky for at least 45 minutes.
 Quoting: GrizzlyBear


@Grizzly, where are you in Montana? I am visiting in NW Montana now, and we had a clear night last night. I was checking the western horizon (not northeast) and saw nothing in the sky except Venus. What's your elevation? I am wondering if that might affect visibility. And how long did the object remain visible? Thanks!

Ok so heres some basic information i gathered based on the OPs post it isnt concrete evidence or eye witness stuff but its something to go on:



Based on the ops original posting stellarium indicates that saturn would be visible for a small small window of time if you are in Portland, Oregon or nearby you would see it low low on the horizon for a short 15 to 30 minute period as it gets dark (and saturn has rings so theres your anomalous features people see)

also just after saturn dissapates, venus would pop into view in the southwest and remain there for a couple of hours perhaps, but saturn is visible in the low low western horizon if you are on the west coast and got a clear unobstructed view of the horizon

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42335083


My thoughts exactly. The Hopi prophecy says that the Red Star Kachina will either come from the East or West. If it comes from the East.... that's good. If from the West...that's bad. The prophecy says it will stay in the distance for a time observing us.

Seeing that it is in the western sky, we need to begin focusing on our inner selves. This world has lost true love from within our hearts and this is what the Red Star Kachina is observing.
