Final Approach
Last night, approximately 201403220025z we were driving on US-50 westbound just crossing under the short-final approach course for RWY18 at W00 and we saw what appeared to be a craft in the air at about our 10-O'Clock position.
It was at low altitude and very slow moving toward our 5-O'clock position. What stirred our attention was that it had 3 well-illumined white lights that had distinct points of origin and was in the perfect shape of an equilateral triangle. We saw a red strobe that was at a position behind the front light and another that created a line bisecting the other 2 white lights. The red strobes only flashed once and did so sychronously during our visual contact.
We did not see the body of the object against the darkened overcast sky.
We lost sight of the object and was unable to re-establish tally.
Ideas?
