Huge red stationary, pulsing sphere in the southeast sky just after midnight on New Years Day 2014

On January 1st, 2014, at 12:05am, in Rohnert Park, Ca., just after the new year rang in, my girlfriend and I went out to the backyard to listen to people shoot off their guns and fireworks.

We were on the deck looking south when we both noticed a red orb in the sky, stationary, just above the tree line towards the southeast. It had a presence that seemed unusual. My g/f said at the time "it must be a NYE blimp". We did not get a picture.

I thought it might just be a blimp too, but it wasn't moving. It was stationary, but kind of hovering like a blimp would, and gently pulsing. It was much bigger than any star in the sky. We would estimate the size to be about 3x that of Jupiter- easily.

We went back in after a couple minutes because it was cold. Two weeks later when I read an article saying that multiple other witnesses had seen the same red/orange orb(s), I knew that what we'd seen was not a blimp, because throughout the southeast part of the stat! e (it was southeast in the sky) people had seen what I'd seen.

We are both in our mid-30's, we enjoy star-gazing and we were not under the influence of drugs at the time. This is not my first sighting.

I have now had 4 legitimate UFO experiences/sightings, with the latest ones being this week, one on the 4th of July, and then again the next night.

My first sighting was in January 2012 of a huge black triangle which I will now document as well.
