Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I distinctly saw a three dimensional object with colors on each point. ( Icosahedron, I had to look it up . ) Each edge on the shape almost appeared to be lighted, as the ambient light reflected off of the surfaces. On every one of the vertices there was a colored light, one of four colors in no particular order. Blue, orange, red and yellow. The object did not appear to be moving nor did the lights blink. I got my Nikon D-50 with a 500mm lens and set it on a tripod. The view finder confirmed what I saw. Unfortunately the camera wouldn’t capture the image in auto mode. In manual mode, I got some images using about a one second exposure. They are not the best, but one image does validate what I saw. As far as the other image? Camera movement? I don’t have a clue.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Full Description & Details

On February 21, 2011 at 10:10 pm I went out on my deck to have a cigarette. It was 10 degrees F with a cold 10 mph breeze. The sky was clear and stars were everywhere. As I looked in a east northeast direction at about a 25 degree angle a bright object with unusual lights got my attention.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I hope so, but probably not.
