At 19:30 of Mar 2, 2007, my neighbor and I observed a very bright light west of Marshall, Missouri. It was 5 to 10 miles west of town, brighter than Venus has ever been, but the light did not move for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, the bright light flickered on a very cloudy night, disappeared for 30 seconds, then came back on for approximately 2 miutes, then disappeared for good. There had to be other witnesses, but there was no report to Marshall Police in a community of 15 thousand, one hour east of Kansas City, Missouri, along I - 70. I am used to watching the B-2 bombers fly over Marshall on take off and final approach to their home at Whiteman AFB, 30 miles south at Knob Noster, Missouri. This bright light did not move and come closer to the city limits. It just hung in the western night sky. There was no sound.
