Shape: Star
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Saw one stationary star-shaped object and two others that disappeared when I glanced at them.

While walking my dogs just before sunrise in the countryside in Urbanna just north of US-17 on Reed Drive, I saw a three-pointed star in the western sky over Jamaica. It consisted of continuous, smooth white light. It did not move. After about five minutes, I saw a different object just above the western horizon. It had white lights punctuated by distinct round circles and was larger because it was closer to me. I saw the two objects in the sky at the same time. The closer one vanished a moment after I spotted it. Several minutes later, the first object vanished. Several minutes after that, I saw a bright light in the southern sky, which soon vanished.

I did not have my mobile phone on hand. Too bad!
