Single red object stationary in sky in San Diego on New Year's Eve 2008.

Several people at a New Year’s Eve party noticed a single, red object that remained in a stationary position for approximately 15-20 minutes around 12:15 am.

We mentioned it to each other and kept watching it to see if it would move-everyone was making same comments that it wasn’t an airplane, helicopter, satellite or star from our observations.

We kept saying, "What the hell is it?" One person from party went to another deck that had a pair of high powered binoculars and was getting them into place to look at it when it began to fade in brightness-slowly at first and then went dark. I would say it took 30 seconds to go dark.

We were located in Spring Valley and the object appeared to be a little north of Mount Helix in El Cajon.
