Mystery Bright Sky Light Identified
For the past several nights, a very bright UFO - static flashing sky beacon light appeared above the mountain range. Posing as a possible stationary geosynchronous orbital satellite, the beacon hovered above the mountain and was watched over the course of several nights. Sometimes it moved position from night to night. Other times it remained stationary as if hovering.
If you swing one of the very large telescopes over to the light, it can be resolved and identified. However, no telescopes were in operation most nights during the spell of inclimate overcast weather. Overcast skies only deepened the mystery.
But when the object was sighted just as the sun was setting, it became obviously clear it was simply a powered pulsating warning light located at the tip of a very large construction crane occupied in the development area of a new tall skyscraper. It was not a rotating satellite in space reflecting sunlight after all.
After identifying the hazard light, at least three more were found looming in the night sky. These contribute significant light pollution, thus destroying the darkness and beauty of the night sky, as the wide band multispectral beam emits strong light in all directions including skyward to warn low flying aircraft of its position.
