Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 1
Location: Lake Carmel, NY, USA
Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object
3 lighted objects in triangular formation, stationary, observed for 20 min. in the northwest sky from eastern Putnam County, NY.
Reporting three objects I observed in the northwest sky from Lake Carmel NY. The objects seemed to be a triangular-shaped light with 2 round lights close below it. The group of lights were in the same position for 20 minutes from approximately 4:45 to 5:05 AM.
I spotted this when I took several bags of recyclables outside to place them in the car bay beside my house. The house is located on the east shore road of Lake Carmel. I consulted a Google map so that I could verify that the position of what I observed was in fact in the northwest sky.
To the naked eye, these objects seemed to be at an elevation one might expect to see jet aircraft.
I went outside four times during this 20-minute period. The objects appeared to be in the same position. The first dim light of dawn gave me the opportunity to judge this because I was able to see the objects in a patch of clear sky between two tall maples trees in my yard.
