Orange Star that dropped brilliant white lights.
Spotted an orange object at extremely high altitude, which I first assumed to be a star, moving very slowly from Canus Major in the general direction of Polaris. I called for my daughter to come and watch it since her eyesight is better than mine. For several minutes the object moved very slowly and then became stationary for approximately 5 minutes. While we were lamenting the fact that we didn't have a telescope the object began moving again in the same direction. My daughter observed that the object appeared to be made of two separate objects.
I went into the garage and retrieved my binoculars and we went into the back yard. Upon viewing the object through the binoculars it appeared to made of 3 smaller objects. As we traded the binoculars back and forth the object seemed to be changing in its light intensity. There were several instances where is appeared to disappear completely from view. While I had the binoculars the object began dropping shafts of very brilliant white light (10-12 of them) that seemed to last only a second or two. This lasted for less that 15 seconds. My daughter was seeing the same brilliant lights with the naked eye. After the last white shaft of light appeared the object faded from view a few seconds later and was never seen again.
