Duration: 2-4 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Tampa, FL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Triangular lights observed during total lunar eclipse.

As the lunar eclipse had just reached totality I noticed light and movement to the left just below the moon. At first I thought it was a meteor but as I focused I could make out 3 distinct lights in a triangular pattern. It was moving very quickly with no noise or flashing lights, and seemed to be at a high altitude. It moved quickly out of range to the southeast.
