Duration: 2 minutes

Location: Hillsboro, OH, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

3 triangular white lights a few hundred feet above treeline and relatively close distance

Clear night, Turn onto East New Market Road and off in the distance I noticed 3 Triangular white lights which appeared to be one half to one mile away maybe three to eight hundred feet above tree line directly east. They caught my attention as I have a large security light and these were some what brighter. At first I thought they may be aircaft landing lights as Airborne express is 25 miles north of my home. Frequent fly overs late at night are the norm. I also have worked there and these lights were spaced to far apart to be a aircraft. ALso as close as they appeared I saw no wing lights and no noise was heard as should have happened with the estimation of the distance from me. NO operations go on at Airborne this time of the week. I thought maybe it could be a training flight from there and got out of my car to await the flyover. Suddenly they just disappeared. THis is in a rural area and I heard a number of dogs barking off in the distance.
