Full Description of Event/Sighting: My girlfriend and I were sitting on a bench at Memorial Island in Vero Beach when we noticed a light near our municipal airport that was about the size of a quarter, two fists lengths from the horizon. We were rough 3-4 miles away from the airport. Closer to 3 miles.

This light was bright. Orange in color and not moving what-so-ever. At first I thought it was just an airplane coming towards us which would appear to be still. But this light did not move at all. We saw the object to the west. Two strange side stories.

1. We have a flight safety school that uses that airport for the students. At night the sky is usually full of Cesnas (sp?) because these students are learning to use their night instruments. Lots of night flying. At the moment the object was in the sky there was not a plane in the sky. Not one near the airport or anywhere nearby. This I can not explain.

2. We passed two people on the way to our car to go check it out who were not there (chills just thinking about it) 2 minutes prior. There were no cars in the parking lot but ours and none in nearby spots either. We left but before we got to the bridge this object was gone.

So immediately I turned around, parked and headed back to the spot where we first saw it. Those two people were gone. We were gone maybe 2 minutes from the location. Five minutes after the object was gone the skies looked normal with flight school activity.

Once again. If you find anything out, please let me know. And thanks again for listening or reading. You get it.

Thanks.
