Duration: Five minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: , PA, USA
Location details: My front yard, looking east

Shape: Light
Explanation: Aircraft - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

I first saw a white pulsing light with multiple points like a classic Christmas star. As it move silently another one appeared, red.

I saw it very clearly at first, and ran inside to get my phone. When I got back there were two, not close together. First one white, second one red. They did not remain a fixed distance apart. They were silently moving west at a slow rate of speed. By the time I got my camera on them, they had moved too far away to see the details, but they were both shaped like a regularly pulsing Christmas star, with many points, only visible when the lights pulsed. I got video as they drifted out of sight, behind the trees. I’m an aircraft enthusiast, and I’ve never seen aircraft lights like these.
