First noted as a bright star, but when looked at through binoculars it was noted to be green, red and white and spinning like police lights. They are stationary, but drop slightly and then rise again. The first and largest is in the southwestern sky, the second noted to be in the west, and the third is in the northeast.

NUFORC Note:

Report appears to be not inconsistent with a "twinkling" star. They almost invariably are reported by witnesses to move. This is a tentative identification.
