Circle over Pula (Croatia) · Croatia

The report, as filed

It was getting dark and three of us were walking along the waterfront and watched the sky. Mars was just above the horizon. I was checking the other planets along the Ecliptic and was facing south when I saw big red light, as twice as a size of the Mars. At first, I thought it was a signal flare, but the light didn't move. Few seconds later, it just vanished.
