Dec. 25, 2006 8:45 P.M. Rockford, Iowa. A round with blue and red lights slowly moved across the sky.Dec. 25, 2006 at approximately 8:45 p.m. at Rockford, Iowa, I recieved a phone call to look at an object in the sky, which they were observing through a telescope.My son, daughter-in-law and I curiously watched through our binoculars.I took several photos, being so dark out, only a few showed the object clearly.The object appeared to be round (which shows in the enlarged photo) with blue and red lights.It didn't move very fast, yet did move at a slow even rate.Being cold out, we only watch for a few min. so I am not sure how long it actually was visible in our area.This, being a strange event, has my curiosity at what it might be.I am very interested in any opinions you might have on this sighting.
