Summary

A witness observed and filmed a white light in the sky on multiple occasions between February and March 2011.

However, after analyzing the direction and astronomical position, it was determined to be the planet Venus. The witness mentioned a slight flickering, which was attributed to atmospheric conditions. The exact location and date confirmed that Venus was visible in that part of the sky. The case was classified as resolved, identifying the light as Venus.
