UFO over Canberra
I started the thread with UFO because for me, thats exactly what it is.
For the past week I have been noticing a red/green flashing object in the western sky over Canberra. Thing is...it doesn't move. Only the earths turning makes it move in the sky. I can't keep the bino's still enough to identify the object but it does reinforce the red/green flashing. Anyone got any clues on this one ?? Cheers

Could it be the planet Venus? It is the brightest thing in the sky except for the sun and the moon.

Dunno..could be. I thought Venus was just a bright whiteish colour ?
Also, isn't Venus more upward looking ? This thing was on the horizon. I'm thinking a star of some kind,,,just unsure which. Google isn't being very fruitful.

Try looking at www.heavens-above.com They should have a page that'll tell you what's in that part of the sky at that time of the night.
EDIT: Here's the skychart for Canberra tonight http://heavens-above.com/skychart.as...a&alt=0&tz=CET

The thought occurred to me... if it was Green blokes from out of space... why'd they pick Canberra of all places?
