Summary: Red light over horizon, Southwest, viewed outside of Douglass, Kansas, early morning, before sunrise

“Two of my friends and I were sitting around a fire after an all night band practice, out in the country. It was about 3:00 in the morning and as we looked off into the distance and saw something big and reddish-orange with two red dots above it. We got curious and went to check it out, but as we started to walk towards it, it went below the horizon slowly, so obviously it was farther away than we originally thought. I would like to add, there were no drugs or alcohol involved. We know we saw something, just not sure what it was. We did not get a picture of the object.”

The clouds took on a strange look as the sun set over the farm.
