Shape: Triangle | Duration: 10 minutes
Source:

3 medium bright lights in a triangular shape. Large circular light in center lit up and object moved, seemingly instantaneously to the West what must have been at least a hundred miles. Center light went out and apparently hovered for several minutes. Altitude increased until out of sight using binoculars.I am a 62 year old male retired from a customer service position with 40 years of service. Have studied the Aurora programs and this was identical to tr3b sightings reported.No audible sound.
