COZYING OF JUPITER, VENUS LIGHT UP SKY

      Reports of unidentified flyin

g objects are being made, and the most 

likely explanation is the rare alignm

ent of Jupiter and Venus.

      Some Fairport Harbor residents reported seein

g UFOs and large bright 

objects hovering over Lake Erie over the weekend.

      

The Fairport Harbor Coast Guard went to the area and saw a large 

bright obje

ct that seemed to disperse smaller, brightly colored objects. 

But when they called the Gre

ater Cleveland air traffic controllers, they 

learned that Jupiter and Venus 

were in alignment and that the colors were 

the result of spontaneous gas emi

ssions from the two planets.

      Its the celestial equivalent of a colorful 

floor show, says Charles 

B. Stephenson, a professor of astronomy at Case Wes

tern Reserve 

University.

      The Earth's atmosphere helps create the color 

sensation, in the same 

way that distant stars appear to twinkle.
