The Venus UFO

Coming home from work the other night, there was what appeared to be a bright star in the sky. Rather than being a star, I suspected it was Venus.

Later that evening, when I got on the computer, I checked my astronomy program and, sure enough, it was Venus that I saw.

Did you know that when Venus is bright in the sky like that, it is frequently reported as a UFO?

Seriously.

The thing is, it doesn’t move at all. It’s just there. Sure, if you stand there watching it for hours, it will slowly move, but it’s hardly a flying saucer.

I suppose that maybe, if you’re driving through a wooded area or something, you might see a bright light poking through the trunks and leaves here and there, which may give the illusion of movement, but then wouldn’t people be reporting phone towers and the moon too?

Well, they probably do that too.

No. Venus is round like a planet. ;-)

Too cool. I have an old photo that a photographer friend of mine took years ago. He superimposed the planets on it and it looked very realistic and totally cool. If I come across it, I will scan it and post it here. But first I have to get my meme done for you before I forget.

I had a dream once where all the planets in the solar system were really, really close to Earth and, looking at the night sky, you could see them all and they all appeared larger than the moon.
