Occurred : 4/17/2011 21:00 (Entered as : 4.17.11 21:00) Reported: 4/19/2011 1:54:20 PM 13:54 Posted: 5/2/2011 Location: Arvada, CO Shape: Formation Duration: 15 mins
Looking west over the Rockies from my Arvada back yard, i saw 3 white lights flickering in a row. It occurred to me that from my angle they could have been in a triangle formation. I thought i may have been mistaking them for Orion's Belt, but they did not coincide with the constellation's location in the sky...AND they were gone ten minutes later. I frequently observe the night sky from my backyard, and haven't seen this phenomenon before or since.
