Other over WinstonSalem, NC

The report, as filed

I was in bed and was restless when I noticed an unusual light in the sky. I felt compelled enough to get out of bed and go to the window. I got my eyeglasses and opened the blinds wider. I’m not sure how long I was looking at it before I decided to go outside. The stove clock said 3:20am. The object was not moving, but it had a faint red light like a beacon going around in one direction. I stared at it for at 30 mins and took pictures and a video of what I was seeing. It never moved. I went back in my apartment but it was still there. I couldn’t go back to bed. I fell asleep sitting up on the couch looking at it. The sun was coming up when I woke up and it was gone. It hasn’t come back yet but now I’m looking every night.
