My family and i were staying at a family cabin for labor day weekend and observing the stars as we do often. later in the evening my brother called me back to check out something that he just noticed. it looked similar to a planes blinking lights but would shine very brightly at a slow rate (a second or 2 between flashes) and then after 3 or 4 flashes would be moving at a 45 degree tragectory from the direction it was just headed. then it would disappear and come back and did so 4 times that we noticed. after the second time we took serious notice. on the last occasion it appeared, i had a pair of binoculars that i was able to pull up and see the vehicle through them. it appeared to have the shape of a plane because there were 3 sets of lights flashing. one light on one wing would flash, one light on the other wing would flash, and one light on top would flash in that sequence. it repeated this sequence quickly 3 times and then all of the lights would go crazy flashing randomly and brightly for about a second or 2. and it consistently produced this odd light display over and over. it was then heading south east and then we lost sight of it soon after for good. this year for christmas we bought ourselves a telescope because of it!
