Sorry, this was a while ago but I just found this site tonight.

Over Christmas break 2008 I was up late one night and went outside and saw a small light (the size of a medium star) oscillating in the south-eastern sky about 75 degrees up from the horizon. I kept watching it and saw smaller lights coming out of it, moving around, and then going back.

I watched it for about half an hour that night. The next night, I saw it was there again in the same place at a different time. Neither night did it seem to move from the position where I first saw it. I didn't see it again after the second night.
