Second night I have witnessed the lights. A neighbor called and told me about them. Tonight they were a little more Southwest than they were last night but I didn’t look at them til around 8:30 pm. I looked again at around 9:30 pm and they were gone. The lights were stationary (not moving) and no sound. Jupiter and Venus
