Venus Commonly Mistaken for UFO

If you’re looking up in the sky and you see a spherical object hanging in the night, could it be a UFO?

According to WRAL.com, it’s actually Venus.

Apparently, at this time of year, Venus can be highly visible with the naked eye and it’s often mistaken and reported as a UFO in the skies. It’s not uncommon that so many people may see it as a UFO since it’s the third brightest object in the sky.

    This morning at about 4:30am PST I was standing outside my home and saw a bright light in the Eastern sky. At first I thought it might be a plane flying toward me since I am near to an airport. As I stood and watched it did not seem to be moving like an airplane would. After about an hour and a half the light remained roughly in the same area. Is it possible that this was just Venus or was this something else. I am not quite sure as the news stations in my area have not reported anything about possibly seeing a planet in the nighttime sky.
