Occurred: 2012-02-02 20:15 LocalReported: 2012-02-02 18:52 Pacific
Duration: 15 minutes
No of observers: 1
Location: Henderson, NY, USA
Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object
A large bright orange colored light with 2 or 3 smaller lights surrounding it.
saw a bright orangish light hovering over lake ontario. thought it might have been mars or venus because of the color but it was a lot bigger and brighter than i've ever seen either of them. the object seemed to stay still in the sky for about 10 or 15 minutes. when i looked at it through a pair of binoculars i could see a red light and a white colored light and possibly a third light that looked like it may have been white. it looked almost like the lights were in a triangular shape but it was hard to tell because there was a lot of glare from the brightness.
after a while it appeared to move to the right(north) a little bit and then after sitting still for a couple more minutes it slowly started moving in what appeared to be a southwestern direction (toward oswego ny) until i was no longer able to see it over the tree line.
NUFORC Note:
Sighting of Venus. Timing is correct for Venus, which currently is in the southwest sky, during the early evening. PD
