I don't see why they couldn't be satellites. Since I'm not certain what, exactly, OP is referring to, it's hard do say what the lights could be. However, we've got hundreds, if not thousands, of items orbiting the Earth, many of which would be clearly visible from the surface. I don't find it mysterious that among those items, a few shine more brightly.

As for the wise men and Jesus, that already happened. There is nothing in the Bible to suggest that it's going to happen again.

I can guarantee you they are not satellites, that's for damn sure... I have witnessed hundreds of satellites and I have seen the ISS so many times now I don't even bother looking for it anymore, or when I do happen to notice it again I go, “hey look there‘s the ISS“, and not hey look there‘s a UFO.

When these lights were first talked about on this site, back in 2006 I believe, the answer given was Venus, even though the star everyone was talking about back then didn't seem to track with the rest of the stars, I felt the answer was good. Then in 2008 when a new bright star reared itself in the eastern sky, and when we talked about it here on ATS some said it must be Saturn. Again I felt the answer was good.

I have been doing a lot of studying over the last few years regarding ancient cultures and their beliefs. Before everyone starts talking about the Bible only, I believe it is important for everyone to (re)- watch this video. Now this is an old video called Zeitgeist, however, without pointing everyone to books they should read to find out how many cultures talked about that same old story, that movie does a decent job. I'm also pretty sure if you have been a member of this site for more then a year you have probably seen this video posted several times. Even if you have watched it in the past, I strongly recommend you watch it again so we can have a more in-depth conversation about these three wise men/stars and what they could possibly mean.

Perhaps a casual conversation is all this thread deserves, or perhaps in order for us to understand what has inspired all these underground bases and seed vaults, perhaps, just perhaps, we should talk about this with a little more seriousness. I'm just sayin!

Are these bright lights planets? Yes I strongly believe they are… However, having watched the night sky since I was a child I have never, ever seen these planets as bright as they are today. They seems to becoming brighter with every passing year. While at the same time more planets seems to be becoming more luminous/brighter. What is happening to our solar system? What is causing it? If it is happening now, did this happen in the past, and the survivors gave us, our time, the clues to look for. I don’t know if that is true or not, but I know for an absolute fact something is going on that we cannot explain. Sure we can say all our planets in the solar system have been warming over the last 10 years… but why? Sure we know our planet is losing its protective shield, and our Sun NASA warns could possibly have one heck of a season in 2011/2012. Or the fact that the Mayan’s, Hopi, Egyptians, Sumerians, and other ancient cultures left us clues as to what could happen in the future. Are these three bright lights just more proof all those warning/clues are happening right now? The quick answer from me is, I don’t know… but I do believe serious people should have a serious conversation so we can attempt to find out if there is truth to be discovered… instead of all conversations being lost upon the alter of those bright lights are Probably Venus, Saturn, Mercury and/or Mars? I don’t doubt that they are planets… What I wanna know is why are they so damn bright and why in the hell did ancient cultures feel so compelled to warn us that these signs will exist before the new beginning occurs?
