Default Re: Recent Sightings

I wanted to make mention of something I saw in the skies last week, here in Florida.. It was about 8:00pm. Est. The sun had set fully and the moon was showing in the distant eastern sky which was to my left. I was facing almost due south and looked straight up to see what I am pretty sure is Jupiter.(It was extremely bright as it is evertime I view it, which is on a nightly basis... Anyways, while looking up towards that bright glow, a second glow appeared slightly to the right of where I was focused. It looked just like what I assumed was Jupiter, in it's size and brightness. With the exception that the color seemed to be very blue. As I stared at it for an estimated 10 seconds, it went from a stable singular light source and grew in light intensity until it actually showed an outer ring of the light surrounding it. It then started to dim very visibly and gradually until it slowly vanished completely.. It was exactely like having a spot type lightbulb on a dimmer switch.... Again this lasted about 10 seconds in total. I smiled at that moment, because it was just so beautiful to see. Especially since it was not totally dark yet.. I have looked every night since then for a repeat occurence of what I had seen, but nothing has shown as of yet... I have been alive for forty years and have never experienced such a beautiful occurence that was obviously out of the norm... I hope to see it again sometime.....
