Bradenton,FL 3 reddish dots in the eastern sky

This event happened earlier this morning and please let me convey that I have a degree in aviaton tecnology, and I am an ameteur astonomer so I hope it lends some credibility to this statement.

I exited my house at about 0230 on december 12,2010 looking east, and I saw three reddish/orange dots in the eastern sky. The position of these dots would form the corners of a triangle with the two corners on the bottom.

I proceeded to start yelling for anyone that could help verify, but no one responded at this time. While yelling the bottom right dot started to move toward the upper right dot while the left dot remainded stationary.

The two dots them came close together then the whole formation seemed to head east, and that is when I finally ran inside and summonded my friend Brent who came to see the end of the first event pluse the second event also.

Brent and I together witnessed the lights disappear in the east in the formation specified...this ends the first event.

Following the first event, Brent and I discussed the options and possibilites of what we has just witnessed for a little while before he decided to retire inside while I still watched the early morning sky.

After about 30 minutes lights once again graced the eastern sky....i summoned Brent and he summoned Kathey who would be the third witness to tonights events.

The second event consisted of about seven objects in the eastern sky positioned side by side each other, slightly above the horizen with 2 of the objects on the right being very close to each other. I believe this was object number 3and4 from the right.

Once again the objects seemed to slowly disappear in the eastern sky after several minutes. This was witnessed by myself, brent, and kathy.

I am finishing this statement now at 04:24aM on 12/12/2010. I just came back from checking aagin with no sign of the objects in question.

Venus has risen in the eastern sky, but from where I spotted the objects they would have been to the left/north of venus.
