NUFORC Sighting 80942

Occurred: 2011-04-17 21:00 Local
Reported: 2011-04-19 13:54 Pacific
Duration: 15 mins
No of observers: 1

Location: Arvada, CO, USA

Shape: Formation

Looking west over the Rockies from my Arvada back yard, i saw 3 white lights flickering in a row. It occurred to me that from my angle they could have been in a triangle formation. I thought i may have been mistaking them for Orion's Belt, but they did not coincide with the constellation's location in the sky...AND they were gone ten minutes later.

I frequently observe the night sky from my backyard, and haven't seen this phenomenon before or since.
