On 21 december 2013 i went outside to light the grill.Afterwords i sat down and looked at the sky as i usually do.I saw at 90 degrees stright up what appeared to be a bright star.As i watched i realized it was to early for stars to be visible as venus was not yet visable.After about one minute thirty seconds the starlight appearance disapeared leavind an odject visable.After about thirty seconds the object just vanished.After a minute or so i went inside to check the time and grab my 20x50 power boniculars.I scaned the sky for ten minutes and saw no trace of it.It was between 5.30 and 5.35p.m.Arizona time,the sun had just set.Venus was not visable untill 5.43p.m. at 30 degrees in the southern sky and no other stars were visable untill 6.03 to the north.
