NUFORC Sighting 175368

Occurred: 2023-04-12 21:36 Local
Reported: 2023-04-12 21:54 Pacific
Duration: At least 45 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Spokane, WA, USA
Location details: 8206 S regal rd, At same level above horizon as Venus, about 2 degrees right/north of venus

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Group of shimmering lights jiggling in sky

They are perhaps colored, with reddish or bluish tints, and are staying pretty much in the same position relative to Venus and each other. There are about 10 or 15 lights, maybe more. I cannot see a background object that the lights might be attached to. The array is about half the size of Cassiopeia (that is a rough estimate; I am not actually looking at Cassiopeia when I say that). The lights shimmer and dance slightly but are constant when viewed with binoculars. (When I was watching it without binoculars they appeared to be fizzling out and restarting.)
