Location: Hollister (southeast of), CA, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object

Stationary object with lights

My son and his girlfriend watched for about two hours before awakening me shortly after midnight. The object looked like a bright planet. It did not move from its spot, but -- using binoculars -- it appeared to have large lights (blue, green, orange) that may or may not have been rotating around the outside. The object seemed to rotate on its axis because those lights would change from a horizontal plane to a vertical plane. Truly one of the most amazing sights in my 52 years! -

NUFORC Note:

Probable sighting the star Sirius, we believe. PD
