Characteristics: Lights on object

In the Summer of 2013 I was on my front porch in Heflin, Alabama. I was looking at the Southern Sky just about dark (central time). I had been looking each night for a comet, that was supposed to be seen in our area. I did not see the comet, BUT I did see this large round object through my binoculars.

The first thing I said to myself was, “What in the hell is that?” I was home alone at the time so no one else saw it, so I decided not to say anything about it. Since then, I have only told my wife. It has really bothered me every day since I saw it.

I just want to know if anyone may know what I saw, and/or if anyone else has reported seeing something similar during the same time period? It is driving me crazy not knowing what I saw!! I am no artist, but I have drawn a picture to show you what it looked like. Per the conversation you had with my wife on 20OCT2016,

I have scanned the picture and emailed it to you, with the subject line of: “UFO Sighting - Summer of 2013 – Heflin, Alabama” It was almost dark and looking through my binoculars at the Southern Sky (CT), this round object appeared. It looked like it was giving off a fiery light and had to be huge!!

I observed it for about 30 seconds, then it just suddenly vanished!! I know what I saw and no one will convince me otherwise.

I will be willing to take a lie detector test, or to be hypnotized if it will help to confirm my statement. Many thanks for your time and assistance.
