No of observers: 3

Location: Scottsdale, AZ, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Two stationary, bright lights in the sky, before sunset, remained for over 25 minutes with no apparent motion

I noticed 2 stationary lights in the sky, larger than a star, at around 6:50 pm, before the sun was fully down. One was to the east and one towards the north. Lights were bright enough to shine through scattered passing clouds. I took pictures and video of lights with a cellphone and then with a cellphone through a telescope. Lights did not appear to move at all (motion in video is from trying to film through the telescope eyepiece) Watched the lights for over 20 minutes. As the sun continued to set, they dimmed as if they had been reflecting sunlight. Lights appeared as seen in the images, round, and with something protruding from the center. The picture showing a dime, white spiral is how the northern light appeared before fading as the sun set.
