I was at my home on the computer when my cat scratched for me to let him in..I lookedand it was 1005pm...I stepped out onto my front porch and looked up the street as I always do..looked to my left and saw a very bright star over the treeline but it was flashing many colors..odd...got my binoculars and saw it was really bright and flashing..we hardly ever have planes overhead but there were three heading in the direction..I watched as the planes got closer it blinked out..I was so happy...then out of my peripheral view something caught my eye and it was another flashing light just like the first only now closer to me but in the "North" position which is facing forward on my porch..which put it over Tarboro or Rocky Mount. I kept watching until it got too cold..looked out the window until it blinked out 16 more mintues.
