Saw something, not sure exactly what it was ..but i'll tell you now it definately wasnt Venus or Mars ..I saw both the planets while I was looking at this ..My Mother was out back and she knocked on my window to call me out there to look at what she was looking at ..it was a VERY bright Red object in the sky, it wasn't blinking and it was longated in the sky and solid red ..I see planes here and they blink and this was way to big in the sky to be a plane ..it started off near Venus but way much lower than Venus and it would go sideways in the sky to the west then come to a complete stop then move again west without going higher or lower in the sky it moved and stopped about 6 seperate times ..after it got near some trees it became a hazy red color ..if I were to estimate I would say it was about my hands size in the sky ..I then got into my car after the trees started to block its View cause on the other side of the trees theres nothing but sky cause we are already about 1500ft above sea level here and when I got to the other side of the trees there was nothing but sky and this object was nowhere to be seen, there was no object is the sky at all that I could see ..maybe someone else saw something since it was about that time that people leave for work ..I did grab my camera and intened to get pictures if I had seen it still when I got to the other side of the trees but no luck ..
