Help me identify UFO
 
This morning I went outside at about 6:10 am to get my newspaper. As I turned to come back toward the house (walking east) I looked up and saw what at first looked like a bright star. But almost instantly I realized it was too big and bright to be a star and there were no other stars in the sky.

It was not blinking or flickering and did not appear to be moving. It also did not have a distinct or perfect round shape. It was very much like a bright light coming from a star.

I went into the house to get my binoculars but it really didn't help as far as being able to see what it was. After about 5 minutes or so I realized it was getting smaller because it was moving away to the east (perhaps slighty southeast) So I kept watching until finally it was just a small dot in the sky. By that time it was 6:30 am.

What was it? Did anyone else see it?

Too much scotch can cause this.......................

Could it have been the international space station?

I hope it was the Cocoon people dropping off a new pod.

Can't identify it...cause then it wouldn't be a UFO :)

Had you video taped it, you could have added it to the others already on YouTube.

Santa making a practice run??

Maybe you had the binoculars backwards when you looked. Things get smaller real fast that way.......

Could've been a United Flying Over TV.

I believe that what you saw was Jupiter. I have been seeing it myself and am in total awe! I mentioned it to my son and DIL and commented that it is so bright and since it is only this visible to us in Nov and Dec that it looked like 'The Star In The East'. Now the moving part I don't have an explanation for.

Jupiter was exactly what I was thinking:agree:

Three wise men followed that star...
 
There will be a star in the EAST.

Heard that lovely line before.

And while I think of it. Merry Christmas, Villages Pl.

We are in a flight pattern for landing at Orlando International.

On a clear night you can see them flying over us verrrrrry slowly it seems.

Ufo?
 
Probably the planet Venus. Very bright this time of year in the morning.

Do a Google search on "bright morning star east" you will get full explanation/theory as to what you saw.
