Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Camp Hill, PA, USA

Shape: Light

For three minutes around 0540 hrs I observed two bright lights close to each other in the sky afterwhich the lights disappeared.

Every morning at approximately 0530 hours I walk around our development. While walking I always look at the sky. This morning I noted what looked like two very bright stars high in the western sky. they were close to each other and were as bright as the brightest stars and planets. I had never seen them before. After I watched them for about three minutes, the lights went off. I do not know how long they were visible before I saw them. After the lights went out I could see other faint stars in the area. I am 72 years old and a retired Postal Inspector and subsequent insurance investigator. I have been looking at the sky for many years and this is the first time I noted anything this unusual
