Initial data
Thomas Mogen was walking down the street when he noticed a bright point of light in the night sky. When he returned home and took the binoculars, it seemed to him that the light was pulsing. Slowly, very slowly he was moving from East to West.
He called a friend, Amando Henriksen, which was a digital video camera. Henriksen began shooting phenomenon from your home.
The light disappeared at about 05:30 over the hill to the East (or possibly in the West, there is some confusion in the source data).
Kåre Aksnes and other astronomers proposed that either the planet Jupiter or Sirius as an explanation. This is a possible explanation, as both Jupiter and Sirius were visible at the time. Jupiter was at an altitude of 29° and Azimuth of 110° (ESE) 04: 00, and at an altitude of 39° and Azimuth of 134° (SE) 05:30. Sirius was 11° altitude and azimuth of 161° (SSE) 04: 00, and at an altitude of 13° and Azimuth of 183° S) 05: 30.

Original news
2 November 2002, 04:00 – Rollag, Numedal Thomas Mogen was outside walking when he noticed a bright point of light in the night sky. When he went home and got his binoculars, it seemed the light was pulsating. Slowly, very slowly, it went from east to west. He called a friend of his, Amund Henriksen, who had a digital video camera. Henriksen started filming the phenomenon from his home. The light disappeared around 05:30 behind a hill towards the east (or possibly west, there is some confusion in the sources). Kåre Aksnes and other astronomers suggested either planet Jupiter or Sirius as the explanation. This is a quite probable explanation, as both Jupiter and Sirius were visible at the time. Jupiter was at 29° elevation and 110° azimuth (ESE) 04:00, and at 39° elevation and 134° azimuth (SE) 05:30. Sirius was at 11° elevation and 161° azimuth (SSE) 04:00, and at 13° elevation and 183° azimuth (S) 05:30.

The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
