It’s a UFO!

Recently, in the morning just before sunrise, when I was getting ready to go to work, I looked out of the window and saw this really bright point of light. It was so bright that for a brief moment I thought that it was an aircraft passing by. After a few seconds of observation I discerned no blinking, no red lights and no movement that you normally associate with an aircraft. I then started thinking “morning star”…yes, could this be Venus? I was looking East, actually more South East, so that kinda fitted with my limited knowledge of Venus.

Later in the day, when I mentioned to my acquaintances that I had seen a really bright object in the sky all of them immediately said “UFO” or “aliens!”. That threw me for a while as I wasn’t quite sure if they were joshing with me! Perhaps they were a little bit, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect them to react that way…aliens and UFOs where the last thing on my mind when I saw the light. Didn’t even enter into my thoughts. I thought the guys would advice me if I’d seen Venus but instead the immediate reaction was UFOs and aliens. Hmmm.

When I said to them “I was thinking perhaps Venus?” they all kinda looked at me funny, went quiet and the conversation turned to something else as they’d obviously lost interest at that point. Hmmm.

Anyway, got home, downloaded “Stellarium” (a planetarium software) and fired it up. Set my coordinates and the time to the morning event and guess what it showed me? A bright object in the sky…the “morning star”…Venus.
