Driving north on N6 on outskirts of Meknes, Morocco.

Noticed a very bright yellow object West of Meknes, Morocco towards the direction of Kenitra by line of sight. Object was stationary and did not appear to move. Very aware of how planets and planes appear in the evening. This did not match to either as the size and luminosity of the object did not fit either profile that I have seen in my 50+ years. Even my wife thought it was strange and we both watched it for about 3 minutes while it was in view as we were driving on the National Highway.

NUFORC Note:

On March 7, 2025, at 7:30 PM in Meknes, Morocco, the bright object observed at approximately 45 degrees elevation in the western sky was possibly the planet Jupiter. At that time, Jupiter was prominently visible in the evening sky, shining near the Pleiades and Hyades star cluster
