	Looking at the stars from "Deep in the heart of Texas", in and around
Big Bend national park (where there is not much light polution), my
brothers and I observed 3 stars, all within about 30 degrees of the horizon,
all blinking red, blue and white. This effect was so pronounced that it was
only after a hour or more of observation that we decided they were stars nd
not airplanes. Checking my star maps (and if I remember correctly), the
stars were Sirius, Procyon, and Mirzam. Any one else ever seen this?
