current UFO sighting for South Californians?
Well its May 6, 2010 and I am seeing what I believe is a UFO sighting. It has appeared several nights in a row and varies getting brighter or smaller (when being viewed on same night). I understand some may say that it has to do with the weather and such but I have viewed it with binoculars and it appears to have four lights and a little red one on the side. That is all I see so there is a possibility there is more or less. It is not a plane or other aircraft from here and it stays in the same spot but from hour disappears. If you don’t believe it then please don’t shun this info down but I just wanted to get this out there.
If you want to keep an eye out for this shinning object, preferably with a telescope because I don’t own one, I first saw it around 8:00 P.M. Living in South California, in the city Alhambra, look Northwest. So try looking North, towards where you would find the state of Washington on a map or literally would inevitably end up in Washington if you traveled forward for a really long time. I know not everyone lives near this area and if you Google Earth 2120 West Main Street, Alhambra, CA 91803; it should be west of that area (by the view you get on Google Earth).
This has taken me a while to write because I keep getting distracted by someone who was viewing it with me. I just went outside and it’s gone. Completely gone in the sense that there is no shinning object nearby the place where seen. Seen: around 8 P.M. Disappearance: 9:27 P.M. This doesn’t mean it wasn’t there longer or it moved further North. hopeful comments
It is not Venus, because Venus does not have dots on it and a red light.

Congratulations. You have discovered the planet Venus.
It is Venus. What you saw as dots and a red light was scintillation and autokinesis. It will be there tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. Find a friend with a telescope to see it properly.
For many years people have seen strange objects that defy explanation. In the 1800′s in west Texas a rancher reported seeing lights out in the middle of the desert and thought it might have been some Apaches making a fire. He went out to investigate who or what that lights were but there was nothing out there. Even today the TV show “Unsolved mysteries” has sent reporters to that area and still they don’t know what is causing the lights out in the desert. You can see them on youtube known worldwide as the Marfa Lights. So yes there are some things that defy explanation and I can believe such things exist. More than likely what you are seeing is the planet Venus.
