Three bright pinpoint lights (looked like stars or comets) approaching equidistent in thirds from horizon to meet in sky above. The lights paused just before they would have intersected hanging for a moment before they began to circle rapidly and the paused again before shooting off in the same direction. The lights were about the same brightness as the north star in the sky and were easily noticable.

I realize that this behavior is similar to the patterns recognized in car dealership or opening ceremony lights, but there are distinct differences. The lights were not beams, they had no apparent source of origin. The lights were not bright discts reflecting in the nearby conddensation but instead appeared to be very far away. The lights also did not appear to behave in any fashion similar to modern aricraft, even today.
Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.  PD
