Initial data
Red flashing lights were noticed by an eyewitness in the sky over Kerkrade (Limburg).
He took a photo and wrote the following comment to it:
quite large, with several objects and two white dots, as well as smaller ones flying to another point of light.
The most likely explanation according to ufomeldpunt.nl - planet:
Venus and Jupiter. They are close, big and bright to see. The rapid atmosphere and the refraction of light make them change color, dance and pulse.
Original news
Rode knipperende lichten
KERKRADE, LB — Best groot met verschillende objecten en twee witte punten en kleinere die naar een ander lichtpuntje vlogen
Meest waarschijnlijke verklaring
Planeet
Venus en Jupiter. Ze staan dichtbij en zijn groot en fel te zien. Door de onstuimige atmosfeer en de breking van het licht lijken ze te verkleuren, dansen en pulseren.
Hypotheses
The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
Events
Rocket launches (from space.skyrocket.de)
- Site: () Vehicle: Falcon-9 v1.2 (Block 5) Payload: Crew Dragon 6 (Dragon C206-F4, Endeavour F4, USCV-6)
Investigation
The description is really quite mysterious, but it does not match the object in the photo. The photo shows the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus.
News: See the rare planetary conjunction of Jupiter and Venus
Two nights in a row – on March 1 and 2 – it will be possible to observe a “kiss” in the sky Jupiter and Venus. This phenomenon is so called because the two planets of the Solar System will visually appear very close to each other.
This planetary connection is, of course, a trick of the eye. In fact, the two bright planets will be millions of kilometers apart from each other. But if you look at them from the Ground, they will seem almost touching. This happens about once a year.
