Location of Sighting: Whitby Ontario Canada west sky.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Triangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I noticed a very bright star in the western sky last night around 7:00pm. The sky was clear and the object seemed to actually cast a very wide beam. After looking at the light for a while, I thought that perhaps it was a helicopter with a search light on. My daughter joined me and the light didn't move for a further 20 minutes. We then looked at it through binoculars and could both see a leading, very bright light like a huge fire or search light. The remainder of the overall triangular shape seemed to consist of either a number of smaller triangles or flame streaks of blue and orange.

The object seemed to maintain position and configuration for the duration of our observations. We stopped checking around 11:00pm. We took a photo of the light at around 9:00pm, but it just looks like a bright light in a dark sky.

I was just outside tonight and noticed that this light phenomenon is no longer in the sky. Have you hear any other like reports? Was there a comet in the sky last night? Wondering what we saw.
