question about stars and planets rising in the west
can someone tell me if a planet was supposed to be rising in the west over manhattan last night at around 4-5am?
a multi-color blinking star rose from the WEST at around 4-5am.
stars dont rise in the west, but planets and other things can- such as satellites or gigantic motherships.

i have only seen this weird "star" in this same spot one other time a few weeks ago.

Call the local radio or T.V. stations. They may received a few phone calls on it too.

No planet rises in the west.

You could, I suppose, have a satellite that rises in the set, but the chances of that happening are pretty small, since it would take a lot more enregy to inject a satellite into an orbit at a high enough speed to look as though it were rising in the west.

...or gigantic motherships...

There are no "giant motherships".

It could've been an aircraft on a landing approach.

 Quoting: Duncan Kunz



NO

and

NO

this was not an aircraft, okay? it appeared to be a "star" that rises at the same speed as stars (much slower than an aircraft and a star doesn't look like an aircraft)
do you think i can't tell the difference from a star and an airplane?
there are airplanes flying all over manhattan.
what i saw was what appeared to be a star.

so you're saying when an aircraft lands it rises in the sky and keeps going up and never lands?

Re: question about stars and planets rising in the west
okay so here is an example of what i saw...
i used google earth to show you my viewpoint from brooklyn over manhattan.
the buildings sticking out on top is manhattan and the area below that is brooklyn.
the "star" is shown rising in the location i saw it with the arrow signaling the direction it was going.

this WAS not an aircraft.
what i saw is what you would call a "star" and it was rising in the west.

Re: question about stars and planets rising in the west
i think this should get pinned until we figure it out and come to some type of conclusion.
what i saw is not normal and all we need is someone to verify if this was or was not a planet or something like that that was blinking colors and rising in the west.

i know there are people out there who can verify this...

Re: question about stars and planets rising in the west


It could've been an aircraft on a landing approach.

so you're saying when an aircraft lands it rises in the sky and keeps going up and never lands?

No, but if an aircraft is on a long-leg landing approach, it could appear to rise higher in the sky as it subtends a greater angle to the viewer, and then, if it were to turn suddenly, it would "blink out".

But I'm not saying what it was. I do know that it wasn't a star or a planet, and since there are no such things as "mother-ships", I tossed out the idea of an aircraft as merely another possibility to be discussed.

please shut the fuck up.

My guess is that you were either drunk or hallucinating, or maybe you're just making stuff up to troll the thread.

By the way, after I read your question about one star, I made a point of giving this thread one star, too; not because you're a fool, but because you're a potty-mouth who doesn't want to hear anything if it contradicts your pre-conceived notions.

Re: question about stars and planets rising in the west
Here's a handy little on-line solar system viewer AC 519,the only planet that might be visible after sunset is Mercury. [link to fourmilab.ch]

Here's a free planetarium program,if anybody knows of an on-line one feel free to let us know. [link to www.stellarium.org]

i was not drunk.
i was not hullucinating.
please get out of here. i'm asking honest questions and trying to get to the bottom of this and all you can do is put it down and say ignorant things such as, "there are no aliens" and "when planes land they ascend" and "you're just making things up"

people like you will make themselves believe anything if you cant explain it inside of the box.
anything out of the box doesn't even exist to you.
i feel bad for you.
