I looked into the western sky this evening and beheld a bright object, which I assume is the planet Venus. However, it has a bright tail, a length of three to four times the diameter of the orb, hanging below. I initially attributed the oddity to my old and well-used eyes, which often provide me with double or ghost images. However, this seemed different, so I called my lady friend to look outside. She saw the same thing I did. I then called the TV station. The guy there told me that it is Venus, and that this phenomenon has been visible since December and is expected to remain into February. He said people have called the station asking if this was the Christmas Star. Strangely, the station has apparently made no effort to determine what produced this effect.
I?m in NW Louisiana. Just wondering if you guys see the same thing in other locations?
