Saw a trio of red, green and white brightly and rapidly twinkling lights, stationary, high in the sky and directly north and about 3 tree heights (from a distance of 10-30 miles? north) Was out to watch lunar eclipse but looked around at stars too and saw this trio of lights through binoculars, due north. Spouse also saw it. It held its position from about 20:20 when we first noticed it, and was still there over an hour later when we walked home. Saw a small airplane travel in the trajectory below it which gave us scale for its height (higher than small airplanes fly, at that distance). Very confusing - I am still wondering what that was. Sparsley populated area, have never seen these lights in that area.
