@paulchi69 At what times of the night do you observe this object? How long is it visible for and does it move about the sky or remain in one spot? Is there any sound associated with it? I've seen odd objects like this near air bases in East Anglia and suspect that they are military craft of some sort, manned or otherwise. I remain open minded but they certainly aren't stars nor planets and I seriously doubt they are connected to some 2000 year old Buddhist prophesy.
If it is pulsating and mulitcoloured, it isn't a star. Neither is it a planet. Since it is unidentified, by definition it is a UFO. I have seen similar phenomena, notably in the south east of England, but do not seize the moment to make claims of religious deities making a return. There have been many claims as to the identity of Maitreya over the centuries, from Ron L. Hubbard to Muhammed. The figure is ancient Buddhist in its origins and Share Internatrional just another 'Moonies' cult.
That's interesting. But I actually tried it myself at the time on a clear night with Venus bright and it looked just like those pics. I discarded them ages since but try it yourself if you need verification.
@bigbearleeds Its not Venus--I've seen this thing in the sky.It flashes red and blue,and looks like its rotating.Its not a planet,and its not any star I've ever seen before in the sky.On most clear nights you can see it----take a look up.Maybe its a satellite,or some space station.Whatever it is,I never saw it before 2009.
@mrbrianmccarthy When you say look up, I'd need a rough idea of where you're standing (country/continent - give us a clue). If it has red and blue flashing lights it's almost certainly a plane or chopper. Satellites don't need or have flashing lights on them. Neither does the ISS.
@bigbearleeds Its not a plane or a chopper---Come on Big bear,thats a bit insulting.I will say this; It does initially look like a plane approaching,but it stays stationary in the sky like a star.
@mrbrianmccarthy It wasn't meant to be an insult. Where I live I am to one side of a flight path into a small airport. Planes approaching me head on in the distance look exactly as you describe - like they're stationary for minutes at a time. Planes now use navigation lights of various colours, depending on the airline, make and age of the plane. Trust me, it's most likely a normal plane and one whose approach path was added in 2009. You're just seeing it from an odd angle in the distance.
@bigbearleeds Trust me,it wasnt a plane.I'm 45 byears old,and I know the difference.On the next clear night you have,go look up in the sky,and you'll see what I'm talking about.It looks like a star,but it pulsesred and blue,and looks like its rotating.It doesnt look like any other star in the sky.
@mrbrianmccarthy OK, well you are in the United States apparently. I am in the United Kingdom. What you see when you look straight up isn't the same as what I see when I look straight up. Did you think I lived on your street? For your sighting to hold any merit, we need to know roughly where you're at, what time you're viewing it and what direction/elevation in the sky you see it. Otherwise it's meaningless. If it appears regularly, can't you get someone with a quality videocam on the job?
@bigbearleeds I wish I had a telescope so I could get a really good look at this thing.But in answer to your question,there are already a lot of people who have posted videos of this star on youtube.And if youre not seeing anything like I described in England,that proves its not a star,because it doesnt matter if you're in the UK or The USA---stars can be seen all over the world.
@mrbrianmccarthy Stars can be seen all over the world, yes, but not at the same time or at the same elevation necessarily. Also, if the object you're looking at isn't a star (i.e. it's a few hundred miles up rather than a few billion miles) then it may not be visible to me here at all. I think your whole idea of celestail geography may be a bit skewed - not trying to be rude but just saying ...
@bigbearleeds at the moment, on a clear night in berkshire this flashing, pulsating multicoloured star can be seen in a north east direction not too high in the sky !
very strange indeed

Venus - overexposed, aperture too big

@bigbearleeds If it was venus overexposed, then the centre of the object would be the brightest part, not the darkest part.
