| Red Star like light in LA night sky I noticed a bright light in the night sky (to put the luminosity and size into perspective, try and imagine Mars at it brightest X 2 and its luminosity about twice as bright)At first I thought it was some type of aircraft so I tried to determine if there was any movement. I noticed some movement though it was slow and purposeful. It was bright red - which is why I thought it was some type of aircrafe - and seemed to oscillate in its luminosity. It would grow brighter and larger then reduce in luminosity and size in no apparent pattern. We used a cheap Camcorder with a slight zoom lens to see a closer picture of whatever it was and it appeard in the small LCD as a red disk. After about ten minutes time it just dissappeared. About 90 seconds later in another part of the night sky - what appeared to be a shooting star appeared. |
