Huge musquito like golden object over Ionian Sea near Messolonghi, Western Greece.

Date and time of the sighting: March 7th, 2007, 19:30 to 19:35 and also 19:40 to 19:42.

Place: Messolonghi, (Western) Greece.

At the above time and date, in the night sky - the sunset had taken place an hour earlier - I saw a very bright object, stationary. The color was bright golden and the shape of the object like a cigar with a protruding thinner extension, vertically protruding from the upper part of the main body. The main body was a little longer than the extension. The extension was pointing towards the sea, almost vertically (but not totally). It looked like a mosquito. It remained immobile at the same spot on the horizon both times it appeared.

The angle to the horizon from my position was about 40 degrees. Its size, because of the distance involved (many miles in clear skies), was three times bigger than the size of the evening star observed at the same time. I was standing at the balcony of my flat, located in the town of Messolonghi, and the object appeared towards the west; in my opinion it was hovering over the Ionian Sea and before the island of Kephalonia (Copholonia).

NB A few miles to SW direction from Messolonghi, on Peloponese, there is a military air base.
