A bright red light in the sky NW of Spring Valley, CA was observed for approximately 20 minutes at midnight 01/01/09.

At approximately 20 seconds after midnight on 01/01/2009, my husband a retired laborer, a neighbor (a retired industrial engineer) and myself (an administrative assistant, all in our early to mid 50's) were standing outside of our apartments to listen to the new year being celebrated around us; when my husband notices a bright red light in the sky to the North West of us. At first my husband thought it might be a planet, but I pointed out that this light was tail light red.

We stood and watched the light for between 15 to 20 minutes, the light did not move, the light fluctuated from bright to dim and back to bright at times and then suddenly just disappeared.




NUFORC Note:

We are not aware of any bright and prominent celestial bodies in the northwest sky, at the time the witness indicates in her report. Object remains unidentified. PD
