What is the pulsing object in the western sky right now? (8:11 pm pst).?

I live in California.

It's been there for the last couple nights and is very bright. It almost looks as if there is made up of two objects.

Look quickly because it will gone in a half hour.

    Venus.

    Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the sun and moon. It's so bright that you can even see it from large cities, where light pollution destroys your view of most of the night sky. It will remain high in the southwestern or western sky after sunset through January and February, and will sink lower and disappear in March.

    However, I don't think it's pulsing! Take another look tonight or tomorrow. (Normally, Venus doesn't twinkle; but you might see it twinkle if it's really close to the horizon.)

    There will be a nice pairing of Venus and the crescent moon on Thursday and Friday evenings. Take a look.

If human beings observed a similar ingredient, somebody will come across a smart clarification.

    It's probably just a hostile alien craft. I wouldn't worry about it. Barrack Hussein Obama is at the helm now.

    I've seen it too. (I live in Texas). It could be a planet -- but which one, I don't know.

    Jonnki is right. It could be Barack's UFO.
