All 17 objects slightly larger than pinhead; There were two lst magnitude stars and
changed color--vivid the planet Mars near the horizon to the
r green specks appeared, NW plus a temperature inversion. The
one on each side. Oecasionally a light would inversion would cause the astro bodies
shine down. to appear higher than they actually were
and would also cause the color changes.
This is probably the cause for the sighting.
