A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT HANGING IN THE SOUTHWEST SKY

A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT IN THE SOUTHWEST SKY AT ABOUT 10:00. I WATCHED IT FOR 10 MIN BEFORE I CALLED MY NEIGHBOR FROM DOWN STAIRS AND THE TWO OF US WATCHED IT FOR ANOTHER 10 MIN BEFORE IT MOVED BEHIND A BUILDING

IT WAS STILL DAYLIGHT WHEN I FIRST SAW IT SO IT COULD NOT BE A STAR. IT WAS IN THE SAME AREA WHERE I SAW THE THREE RED LIGHTS IN 2004. I ALSO SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE A METIOR FLASH BY FOR MAYBE 2SEC

NUFORC Note:

Possible sighting of Mars. PD
