I've seen this regularly since early December; always first seen in East in approximately the same location. Seen about 6, 8 and 11 PM times when I take our dog out. Seems to follow an orbit that is near parallel to that of the moon. Been seen behind the moon at about the same distance, except December 29 sighting when it was slightly ahead of moon a short distance at the 6 PM sighting, at the 8 PM sighting it had moved ahead of the moon a distance about 5 time the original sighting distance. Among the December viewings were: 1.a partial view of the under side which showed the 3 lights forming an equilateral triangle. 2. the same time what I considered an angular side view showing a long lite silver looking shape with a dark raised outline with sloped sides, set back from the visible. edges. 3. Jerky short distance movements. This not too high in the sky. Visible stars in the sky are just pin head spots in size compared to the unidentified UBL my definition for Unidentified Bright Light. There was a period in December when it was not visible. No phone calls please as I am deaf. Visibility may last until it goes over the Western horizon; I am not out looking for after about 11 PM. It seems to be in an orbit.
