Anon, I have skywatched for a long time. In the years of 2002-2004 I was homeless and spent a lot of time at night skywatching.
I know exactly what you are talking about.
What seems to be a star, and then it moves, and then as you realize that it is actually coming closer, it starts to change from a star to a yellowish golden glowing object. The one I saw in 2003 was Tic Tac shaped or Lemon Head shaped?
Don't know what they are, but only speculate that they are some type of spacecraft.
SKY EVENT in the month of JULY!
July 30th timeframe as that is when Mars will be closest to Earth in 60k years! And that just happens to be the time frame that I witnessed most of my "UFO" phenomena on the Hopi Reservation!
I plan on being on the Hopi Reservation around July 30th, and the beginning of August to sky watch during this time.
I had my biggest UFO sighting just happened to be in August 2003, the same time that Mars was closest to the earth then! And now Mars is to be closer than back in August!
If you want to sky watch, you may join me in the Hopi Reservation around July 30th to begin sky watching! This time I will have a camera, as a I was homeless last time it happened!
