No of observers: 1

Location: Mariposa, CA, USA

Shape: Flash

BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 0115 AND 0145 I WAS STANDING ON MY FRONT DECK AT HOME. WHILE LOOKING AT THE STARS I NOTICED A FLASHING TYPE OF LIGHT APROX 50DEG IN THE WESTERN SKY. IT WAS THERE FOR APROX 30MIN FLASHING MOSTLY WHITE AND SOME RED COLORS. THE LIGHT/PULSE WERE APROX 10 SECONDS APART AND STABLE IN THE SKY. AS THE STARS IN THE SKY MOVED DUE TO EARTH ROTATION THE FLASH/PULSE REMAINED IN THE SAME LOCATION. SOME FLASHES WERE BRIGHTER THAN OTHERS UNTIL THEY CAME TO A STOP AT APROX 0145 THE FLASHES WERE NOT AS BRIGHT AS VENUS BUT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO NOTICE
