MASSENA -- A "star" that turned brilliant red and hung in the sky before sunset, moving erratically and making the eyes burn to watch it, as well as a "star" which appeared to separate into two parts, then return together, to glow and move horizontally in the sky, were seen from the St. Regis-Hogansburg-Fort Covington area Saturday night.
One family watched what appeared to be a star turn bright red then fade, then turn red again, moving about the sky for over two hours.
Others related the erratic movements of two objects in the sky for approximately the same time.
The objects appeared, according to all the watchers, to move off to the horizon and disappear.
