Full Description & DetailsIt was a little before 5:00pm. A couple of neighbors and I were chatting iin the parking lot of the complex where we live when one of them mentioned seeing a bright light and how odd it was for the stars to be vissible so early. at this point we decided to get our binoculars to take a better look at it. The binoculars we used were a 10x50 with a 7deg. field angle. After looking at the light, I pass them to one of my neighbors and went back inside to get my digital camera (Nikon coolpix 5200 - 5.1 Megapixels) I pointed the camera towards the light but I realized I needed some magnification if I wanted to get some kind of detail, therefore I pickded up the binoculars and shot a picture through them. I'll enclose the picture on an e-mail. The light remained there for about 6 or 7 minutes and then it dissapeared. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?I don't think so. Witness BackgroundI have a degree in Spanish Language and Literature and English as a second Language. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingWhatever they are don't bother me. I just found it interesting. All I know is what onece in a while you can read in newspapers or TV programs.
