Anybody have a UFO experience? I am kind of a nerd about space & shit...always looking at the night sky for whatever may be up there. Have seen all the normal stuff like stars, planets, meteors, and satellites. Even saw a huge meteor go across the entire sky, horizon to horizon, one time...but saw something last week that I have no explaination for.
It was just before sunrise, but starting to get light. I was taking the dog out, looking up as I often do. Well, the sky was just getting light, and I could only see the brightest stars by then. Straight up above me, I saw a light that I thought must have been Venus, as bright as is was. It did not look quite like Venus though, seemed a bit larger and a little less bright, but I knew there was nothing else in the sky it could be. No other planet or star looks anywhere near that big. I looked at it for a 4 or 5 minutes & took a few pics before it was covered by clouds. I chalked it up to being Venus, but it must have just looked odd to me to see it right as the sky was getting light.
Well, the next day I was up at the same time, so went out to look at Venus and see if it still looked strange to me...it was nowhere to be found. Nothing in the sky above me, except some tiny stars. Looked on Sky Map, and Venus was not even above the horizon at that time! So wtf did I see? I have no idea, and am not saying it was aliens or something...but I know for sure it was not a star, a planet, a satellite or space station, a plane, was not the sun or moon obviously...I'm stumped, but it sure was cool to see. Here is a couple of crappy cell pics.
