Three orange lights in the shape of the big dipper, then 2 more came into view.

I was driving down Jericho Turnpike in Syosset, NY at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday night September 18, 2010. I was heading east and right past Underhill Blvd I saw 3 orange lights in the sky in the shape of the big dipper. I thought it was cool that I could see it and then realized that it isn’t the big dipper!

Then 2 more came into sight. I pulled over to the left in a parking lot and got out of the car to look. They were moving slowly in the same pattern – the 3 of them and the 2 trailing. They were bright orange, not flashing.

Three men came out of a restaurant and I asked them what they saw and they said “I guess it’s a plane” I said are you sure, they said no, but they don’t know what it could be. It had to be about 10 minutes since I first saw them and then they slowly went out of sight towards the North sky. There might have been a glow around the edges. I took out my phone to take a picture, but the parking center sign was too bright. It was ve! ry cool!
