Big bright white ball in sky

I observed a large bright ball in the sky, well over 100,000 feet. With binoculars I could see three seperate lights on this object. I observed this object from my back yard right on Lake Erie. The object was West of me moving East. Today (Wed) I told a co-worker, he said that he and another worker observed the same object from my place of employement which is about 15 miles South of my location.

I have read that this object was an atlas missle, however, the missle launch site and projected path of travel is over the Atlantic ocean, no where over Lake Erie???
