I placed the pink cloth object near a light on a grassy area behind a pavement and looked at it from the pavement on the other side of a lane with room for two cars to pass each other.

I'm not sure what distance that would be... but that would seem to be a similar distance to me.

Sounds as if it might come down to how dark it was at about 9.15. Does anyone know ?

No one describes it as dark.  It was the night of the full moon so it would never get totally dark that night.

The degree of darkness would depend upon whether the area that Tanner man was seen was in shadow, or not.

Moonrise was around 10pm so has no relevance to the Tanner sighting, or the Smithman sighting, other than there was no moonlight.

No, not 30 feet
Thats about 9-10 metres away at night and only a few seconds

But I'm sure the dusk period would be less dark because the Moon is about to rise.
On a full moon night it doesn't get really dark between sunset and moonrise.

Mercury is questioning how far away you could be before you can't see  pink any more.

What I was trying to double-check is whether what I had perceived to be a pinkish object, and verified as being so the next day, would have appeared the same to me if the object was cloth-based.

My answer to that is yes. But try it for yourselves with a similar distance and with orangey street lamps.

It's not about to rise at the time of the Tannerman sighting.  It was 45 minutes off and still had Boavista to overcome.

It's not influencing the Smithman sighting for the simple fact that took place between two multi-story blocks of flats.

Does it get brighter in NZ the farther the sun is down?  We don't have the Southern Cross in Luz.

What is the light source behind the object causing the shadow?
