Bright light seen from stable most early eves from afar...is not aircraft!! Appears to greet us? and then watch us awhile.

2010-2011...NE sky seen from South Simi Bridle Path area. Our UFO started appearing about a year ago over the horizon/overlook we have from our horses' stables. It began as a story the kids began running and telling us after feeding time, and confirmed by me, many times by now, always at or just after dusk.

It is just one extra bright star at dusk or shortly after dark falls, that one could say "opens it's eye", suddenly, as we are about to go down the final walkway to the stable breezeway...JUST LIKE IT HAS SEEN US COMING AND WOKE IT UP? That is the part I can't get over or explain. The white star will "watch" us, with no other airplane lights, i.e., no red/blue or any colors involved on it, compared to LAX /BURBANK planes that soar over us many times while visiting our horses and while the star "watches" us, rarely moving. It is absolutely NOT a plane, NOT a star. I have made sure of that because I feel silly enough about writing this.

Many times, the light gets "bored"?, moves slowly sideways or upways for awhile, with no particular agenda, and then at last shuts off gently,and the show is always over just before we finish up our equine chores! So wierd! Looked at it with binocs one night and it looked pretty far away and it seemed made of about five or six smaller stars but I can't be sure. Wonder if anyone else has seen it?

NUFORC Note:

We suspect a star or planet, possibly Jupiter?? PD)
