SIGHTING: BAKER CITY, OR

Witness Testimony

"Three lights in triangular formation.While stargazing I noticed what appeared to be a fairly bright satelite moving against the stars. Then I realized that there were actually 3 lights moving in a triangular formation, with the brightest in the rear, and 2 dimmer lights leading. They were headed in a southeasterly direction, towards the rising Moon. I watched them, in total, for at least 7 minutes.When I first noticed them, they were moving at a typical satelight speed, and after returning from grabbing the binoculars from my car, they had slowed to the point where they hung almost stationary in the sky. I was very surprised that they hadn't moved out of my range while getting the binoculars. They slowed so much that there was only minimal movement against the stars. I watched them, with the binoculars until I lost them in the Moon's glow. They did not appear to "drop" in altitude with the distance and never appeared more than points of solid golden light throughout the sighting."
