One Fiery Red Orb ~Hovering~ Over Overland Park... That's twice now within 5 months!

Observed~ One clearly red fiery orb was hovering mid-altitude for several minutes over Overland Park, KS... Once again. ~Same location (I-35 & 435), and within an hour of the last sighting that I also posted on NUFORC (& they posted on MUFON) on 6/7/13 @ 21:30. Last time was a cluster of ~10 red orbs, but this one on 11/9/13 was alone, smaller and hovering, not cruising. It also dissipated after observing it... And once again, I saw it while driving south on I-35 just past 435 and to the east (towards Olathe). And once again, when I first saw it I kept it in sight to quickly/easily weed-out all the other green/red/white flashing lighted, winged, propped, petrol-powered noisemakers (not Element 115 propulsion system). When this became abundantly obvious, I again pulled my car over on the shoulder of the highway with the window down for the duration... Fascinated, and thankful it happened again for me. It once again had no other running lights (port/star! board/taillight)... It seemed to be pulsating (flame-like), too, before vanishing into thin air. Any other known identified flying objects in our airspace would continue to be visible with their clearly seen lights... Illuminating for good reason. We save our cloaking devices for when it's truly needed... Not crowded airspace. ;-} I almost didn't post this sighting... Merely because I didn't want anyone to think I was just seeing things repeatedly. In fact, after the last sighting, one of my close credible friends suggested I carry a camera and watch the skies... Just in case. I told him I've always watched the skies, but I'll never carry a camera just for that... Not obsessed with it, yet. And, that I figured it was just a one-in-a-lifetime event. He reminded me that they periodically frequent the same locations... I agreed. That's two within the same year... And it's only November. I've noticed several other postings on here in the same area, like my last documented report. Another guy and his friends reported the same location sighting the last time on MUFON on 6/7/13 w/ same time-frame, and that was indeed relieving to me. So, keep your chins up^ and minds open... Forever. It's just a matter of time, and time will tell. Peace out>…
