Duration: 6 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Phoenix, AZ, USA

Shape: Light

I was sitting in a vehicle, in my driveway, talking to a friend, when I noticed a very unusual red light in the sky.

It was 8:50 01/26/04. I saw a slowly pulsating (and very odd) vivid red light.

My first impression was that I was seeing a conventional aircraft in a very tight turn or maneuver. Quite soon it became apparent that the light was actually standing still.

At this point I alerted my friend, and we exited the vehicle for a better look.

The light continued to pulsate very slowly, completely disappearing, and then turning back on.

We stood there watching this extremely odd stationary object, when my friend suggested I fetch my binoculars. Did so, but it was all over by the time I returned.

This was a very unusual event.

The object/light was approximately 60 degrees above the southern horizon, bearing 220 degrees.
