What are the Lights?

 


 On November 23, 2025 I went out into the back yard (7:27 pm) and immediately saw that there were three bright objects in the sky to my west. I've hesitated posting them but have now decided to show the picture and briefly describe what I saw.

 Technically they were UFO's (now UAP's). I watched them for some minutes and never saw the slightest movement.  I also did not see any aircraft lights nor hear any sound.  I do not think they were particularly close. That tree just left of center is about a third of a mile away and each of the lights was farther away. In fact I walked north at the western edge of my property to get the tree out of the  way of this shot.

 I posted the picture on Dayton Weather Spot and others mentioned seeing the same thing. A few suggested drones. One said he watched as planes passed overhead. Dan suggested Chinese lanterns.

 I watched them for some minutes (I was shooting the Andromeda Galaxy to my east). The lights were there the whole time I set up the tripod, aimed the cell phone and made a few settings. They were not there when I returned after the eleven minute time exposure.

 The picture at the lead of this blog is a crop from the whole frame.  Here is the uncropped shot:


 The cell phone tower (right bottom) is located in Farmersville. My neighbor's house is on the bottom left, about four-tenths of a mile away. A few stars show in this image as well as one streak (a satellite?). I've  watched plenty of planes and satellites as I photographed  the stars and planets (which I am fairly familiar with) and these three lights seem quite different.

  Here's a Stellarium view of what should have been in the sky at about that time:


 So, I have no idea what I saw but it was certainly not what I expected.
