No of observers: 1

Location: Edmonton (Canada), AB, Canada

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Two lights move towards each other, followed by a complete formation appearing, Edmonton, AB.

I am on my days off from working nightshift, and I am unpacking, as I recently moved. It was about 1:00 AM (01:00HR's) when I was looking out my window wishing I had the lenses for my telescope when I noticed a peculiar star just above the horizon. It was blinking in a • • - • • - patter if it was morse code. Moving from White to red.

After looking at it for about a minute, I noticed another smaller object blinking in an on/off pattern moving closer to the first star like object. I watched it until came to approximately the half way point, form its immediate position.

At that point a formation of red lights appeared in an almost trapezoid pattern. I then went to grab my dSLR camera with a telephoto lens, by the time I got back the lights and formations where gone.

While viewing the objects it almost appeared that the normal shade of horizon lit up. I looked away and back again to make sure it wasn't something I was hallucinating. It was a strange experience.

There was aircraft following normal commercial flight paths, no other known behaviours.
