Two UFO sightings in 2 weeks over my house .

[ArMaP]

I think that I tried to check on those sites on the last occasion and that they only show information prior or before an event .. not after !

Those sites show the information in real time, if an aeroplane is going over your house and you look at one of the sites it will show you what plane it is.

Hope alls as well as can be Fellow members,

Its some time since I posted since "Zorgons passing "  God bless to him where ever he maybe !

Sorry I am not being able to post like I used to.. can only hope that I can at some time get back on track.

I just want to report another Very unusal sighting that I have had tonight...

and as I have been away some time and not been able to get back in the zone of famiiarity... as I suspect at the moment that I have probably lost much of my memory recall on various topics that I used to  try to research on PRC..

I am questioning tonight was what I witnessed a dream.. or am I maybe being hoaxed or seeing something that may easily be explained...

I went out of my house a few hours ago ...after it had gone dark..maybe about 7 pm UK time....and was riding my bike down the street..

I just happened to turn my head as I turned to another Road upon leaving my street and I noted a VERY bright light..

at 1st I thought was it an aeroplanes light.. and as I was moving on my bike was unsure if the object was moving...

I was almost going to ride on... but decided to stop and take another look.

what I could see was NOT appearing to move and was not seeming too far away...as where I stopped I could see my street and houses near by.. and above the rows of houses... the OBJECT was just seeming totally static and maybe the brightest thing that I have ever seen other than the moon...it was brighter than any star or planet that I have ever seen...

and reminded me of the Star of bethlehem...

I remained and watched it trying to figure out what it was.... and initially could not really tell or really even guess.. as for my experience .. I had not seen anything like it before I dont think..

I have seen an object before just hover very high up for about 30 mins...in day light...a few years ago..at a UFO event thatI went to...that appeared very high up...maybe at aircraft levels...10,to  20, 000 feet or more

and  this may have been 10 K or more...if I had to guess...

From the direction that I obseved it... maybe 2 miles away there is a very large type shop area...and I wondered later if maybe it was some sort of lazar light or maybe even a drone.. and MAYBE it was..

But I later have tried to make some enquiries and so far no one I spoke to has been aware of any type of drones or lights circulating around that area upon speaking with their customer services who claim that would be aware if there was something of such going on in that area...

So I now question what may it have been...

I returned back to my house got binoculars and a small telescope and looked at it and have some photos and videos..

I now have to do some further research if I can to try and find out more..

Hope to try to update if and when I can...

But It may have been almost as an impressive event to my prior TR3B sightig that I had in ref to this thread...

The object was not  too far away from the same location...

I did initially think that I saw 2 helecopters... seeming to pass by BUT none of them actually approached the object as I thought maybe they were going to do so..

I was in a sort of daze with the excitmnet and sort of was not taking detailed note of what the copters did...

I have seen Police copters circuoate around this area on other ocassions and had wondered were they looking for UFOs...

and was expecting them to turn up..

The video and photos do show the object but like we are aware... lights in the sky on photos usually dont appear the same scalle brightness etc as in real time..


I think that I may have been watching this on and off for over an hour and later it VERY slowy had started to move...

I have yet to return some hours later.. hope to do so in next hr...

if its still around...

I will find it hard to believe...

and can only suspect its some sort of gimick...such as a hologram or something that someone in the area has some way of projecting it in the sky..

I may go and now call the Police to ask if they had any calls about it..before I go back home..

I am sorry to say that I did not have a decent camera available to take better zoomed in photos of it..

someone else also witnesses it with me and seemed to have very good i phone and was able to zoom in on it..

but when I went back home and returned he had gone...but had been there for 20 mins or so prior..

JUST a QUICK comment on this..

with deep embarrishment from a long term UFO  researcher 

I used to not believe that anyone suggested expert or keen researchers could suggest or believe  that a UFO sighting may be a bright star or planet...and that it was JUST hoaxers or disinfo disbelievers   who make such claims...

BUT I am sorry to have to admitt... It seems I may have been wrong in what I thought that I witnessed...

It appears my sighting is actually probably Venus...which I really find hard to believe..

As I had NOT seen it this year as I have not looked for it or been out that much and the weather in recent weeks has been cloudy and rain..

But we had a VERY clear cold  night a few days ago...

and the sky was very clear..

upon seeing this object in the sky I really could not believe it could be a planet...

I still have not as yet officially checked what the astronoers are saying about it..and how bright it maybe...

BUT also amazingly ... last night when I still had not realised for sure... I went out to look again and the NEW moon appeared right close  to it...which I though was amazingly a coincidence..

During an hour ... in the early stages I did not seem to think it had moved... but in the last 10 mins...

It had moved.... and in the last 2 mins before I went...

I honestly thought that I seen it moving very slowly...but more than you would normally expect...

It also appears MUCH higher than I have ever seen it before...


aiming to wards the West North west...from the UK..

Has anyone already commented on this  or does anyone else maybe  also wonder what it may had been if you have noted it ?

How to see Venus and a crescent moon side-by-side this Thursday

A celestial phenomenon is set to occur between Venus and the moon Thursday night, according to NASA's calendar.

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere and you've got a clear sky Thursday, look to the southwest and you'll see a very bright Venus alongside a crescent moon, together two of the brightest objects in the night sky.

Venus, also known as the "evening star," is the third brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon.

The planet is as bright as it is because of a characteristic called "albedo," which astronomers use to describe how bright a planet is by specific measurements, according to EarthSky, a website by scientists providing updates on events of the cosmos. When sunlight hits a planet, some of the light is absorbed by the planet's surface or atmosphere, and some is reflected.

See all 5 bright planets in February
Posted by Bruce McClure in Tonight | February 10, 2020

    Moon and faint Cancer on March 6
    07
    Moon and Regulus on March 7 and 8

In February 2020, you should be able to see all five bright planets, two after sunset and three before sunrise. In their order outward from the sun, the five bright planets are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. And they really are bright and noticeable in Earth's sky! The illustration above shows the five bright planets, plus Earth, in their order outward from the sun. Their relative sizes are correct in this illustration, but – in real outer space – their relative distances from one another are much more vast.

Spot the two evening planets – Venus and Mercury – in the west not long after the sun goes down. Then see the three morning planets – Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – in the east before daybreak.

First, the evening planets ...
Chart of twilit sky with slanted ecliptic line and two planets.

By bright planet, we mean any solar system planet that's easily visible without optical aid and that's been watched since time immemorial. There are 5 of them: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Two planets are in the west after sunset now. Venus is a very bright object – brightest thing up there – in the western twilight sky. Mercury is fainter and below Venus. Don't wait too long to view Mercury! It'll quickly follow the sun below the western horizon.

You'll easily spot dazzling Venus, the sky's brightest planet, popping out some 30 to 45 minutes (or sooner) after sunset. If you're blessed with good eyesight, you might actually see Venus as soon as the sun sets. Some people even see it in daytime! Venus beams as the third-brightest celestial object to light up the sky, after the sun and moon.

Once you spot Venus, watch for Mercury to appear beneath Venus and close to the horizon as dusk deepens into darkness. If you have binoculars, you can catch Mercury (or Venus) even sooner after sundown.

Now is the best time to catch Mercury after sunset. Mercury reaches its greatest elongation from the setting sun on February 10, 2020. At present, it shines more brilliantly than a 1st-magnitude star (but, remember, super-brilliant Venus outshines Mercury by some 30 times). After greatest elongation on the 10th, swift-moving Mercury will begin falling sunward. It'll also begin dimming, from our earthly perspective. The innermost planet will become lost in the sun's glare after about mid-February.

Mercury will be easier to see from the Northern Hemisphere than from the Southern Hemisphere. That's because the tilt of the ecliptic – pathway of the sun, moon and planets – hits the sunset horizon at a steep angle in the Northern Hemisphere and a relatively shallow angle in the Southern Hemisphere.

We give you the approximate setting time for Mercury at various latitudes:

    60 degrees north latitude
    Mercury sets 2 hours after sunset

    40 degrees north latitude
    Mercury sets 1 3/5 hours after sunset

    Equator (0 degrees latitude)
    Mercury sets 1 hour after sunset

    35 degrees south latitude
    Mercury sets 3/4 hour after sunset

Now for the morning planets ...

To see the remaining 3 planets, you'll have to get up early. Look east! A string of planets – Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – beautifies the February morning sky. Jupiter is much brighter than Mars or Saturn; you'll surely spot it first. Mars may be noticeable for its reddish color. And Saturn is near the sunrise. Notice that a line between Mars and Jupiter points to Saturn.

During the predawn/dawn hours at this time of year, the tilt of the ecliptic favors the Southern Hemisphere for watching the morning planets – Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Given an unobstructed horizon in the direction of sunrise, though, almost everyone worldwide (except far-northern latitudes, such as in Alaska) should be able to spot both Mars and Jupiter before dawn (about 90 minutes before sunrise). From far-northern latitudes, it'll take much more of an effort to spot Saturn before sunrise than at more southerly latitudes. Keep in mind that an imaginary line drawn from Mars and past Jupiter points to Saturn's place near the horizon. Binoculars will be helpful for those living at northerly outposts, where Saturn must contend with the glow of dawn.

We give you the approximate rising time for Saturn at various latitudes:

    60 degrees north latitude
    Saturn rises 3/5 hour before sunrise

    40 degrees north latitude
    Saturn rises 1 1/4 hours before sunrise

    Equator (0 degrees latitude)
    Saturn rises 1 3/4 hours before sunrise

    35 degrees south latitude
    Saturn rises 2 hours before sunrise

Want more specific information? Find out when the planets rise in your sky at TimeandDate.com.

If you miss Saturn in the next few mornings, don't fret. Saturn, which is as bright as a 1st-magnitude star, will be rising earlier and earlier all month long. Just keep watching for it. You'll spot Saturn before sunrise some morning soon.

Bottom line: Find all 5 bright planets in February 2020. Use Venus to find Mercury after sunset, and then look for Saturn in line with Mars and Jupiter in the morning sky.

I noticed Venus on its current position a long time ago and even thought of taking a photo of the Moon near Venus.

[astr0144]

I had no idea Venus was on such display over the last few months...

Either theres been a lot of rain or cloudy skies or I just have not been out very much at night at the time it was visible over  last  few  weeks / months

Have you seen Venus as bright as recent days before ArMaP in your lifetime..

and would you ever think it may resemble a UFO on initial sight ...?

or is it just me !

[Sgt.Rocknroll]

Yes I've noticed it too...very bright on a clear night...(Venus that is)

[ArMaP]

Have you seen Venus as bright as recent days before ArMaP in your lifetime..

Yes, many times.

and would you ever think it may resemble a UFO on initial sight ...?

Yes, if people are expecting more a UFO than a planet then I suppose they will think first "UFO".

If people see it while driving then their movement makes it more difficult to see if it's fixed or moving, so it makes it even more likely for people to think it's an UFO.

[astr0144]

Thks for your thoughts / experience / comments on Venus at the moment.

I was thinking maybe I was over illucinating or something !  that may have magnified it in my imagination ...
