Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41359937 I'm more interested in the star right by the moon You noticed that too?? I'm just north of seattle, and I saw that. Very strange. Usually, the moonlight blocks out most stars, but THIS is interesting On a side note, been watching these lights for days. |

Seems like that's what my Star Walk app says. Just down and to the left of Jupiter, which is bright in the Eastern sky here in Texas. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9281251 Algieba would have barely been above the horizon in the north east in Michigan when op made this thread. Sirius fits the description much better. It was low as well, but still higher than Algieba and it was in the south east. Its low altitude would cause it to scintillate, which is what op was describing. |

Little dipper was just above the moon a ways. Now the moon is across the sky, little dipper just above it and the bright light is right above the same tree branch |

But none the less, now the whole works had moved again like it should, but the bright one is still above the tree |

West TX User ID: 63767862 United States 10/12/2014 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It keeps flashing and changing from white to blue to red.... Someone else has to be able to see this. Very small highly doubt my phone could pick it up... At first I thought maybe a distant plane but it hasn't moved since I started looking at it 20 minutes ago. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5935545 So why are you calling it a STAR?

It sounds like they are similar to what you saw? I recorded these from my phone an dthe pier at Fair Haven is great reference on the video. These lights were changing colors and appeared at time to be spinning and perhaps triangular. These lights went on and of for 15 minutes. I have a short and long version of them: Short version: Long 15 minute full version: Sagittarius rising |

I saw the same thing last week from Kansas. It was the brightest light in the sky looking to the east around 11 PM to midnight. It pulsed white/red/blue and maybe other colors??? very rapidly. To the right of it was a group of stars that appeared to be a tall, narrow triangle, the point of which was almost parallel with the strobing light. I saw it two nights in a row, but haven't checked since then. |

Also yesterday i saw something new: the chemtrails are now being formed into great "sheets" of sht in the sky, instead of thin "trails". Erie County Area East. At a glance, the sunset, at one point, later, i saw a hard, brilliant, thick, long steak, stretching close to the horizon, of violent, all consuming, redder-than-red, causing me extreme feeling, as the sunset was coming to its last hoorah. Like a monstrous, gory, spurt of ????? shot across the horizon. The vehicle, i was in, was moving too fast for me to gaze upon the startling scene. |

I do mention in the videos that the 2 flashing lights to the right are the lights on the Pier at Fair Haven bay. These are the lights on the channel that guide boats into the channel. There is a green and red light. Red right returning. When a boat comes from the lake into the channel at night the boat has the red light to their right that guides them between the break walls. Those break wall lights made this a great video as it gave a reference to position and color. You can also see the reflections in the water are different indicating a different angle and altitude between them. You can also hear it is a windy night in the video. Sagittarius rising |
