Hovering "Venus" then zig-zags for a couple mins.UFO was first taken for Venus (30 secs)- until it started zig-zagging across the field of vision (2 mins+), leaving a trail like when you swing a fire-cracker in the dark. The latter could have been an optical illusion, though. As it was mistaken for Venus, you can imagine that it was a long-distance sighting - and thus are there unfortunately few details to report. I think "Venus" will have to suffice for a description. Light pollusion and aurora borealis are out of the question.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD))
