Bright light with smaller lights over mountains near Deckers observed for over an hour.
My five friends, three of there small children and myself went to my friends cabin about 4 miles south of Deckers in the mountains. At around 11 pm the adults were sitting outside the cabin enjoying a beutiful summer night, the sky was clear (on which we were making comments about how crystal and big the stars were) when we noticed a bright light literally on top of a small mountain direclty across from our mountain, about a 1/4 of a mile away, we were basically at the same height and the light was in direct line of sight. We started speculating as to what it was, our best guess was a flood light on a cabin? only there were no cabins on that mountain. After 10 minutes or so of discussing it, we lost interest and went on to other subjects when suddenly the light went out. About fifteen minutes later, the light reappeared only this time it was about 100 feet above the same location, and more intense. It was about the size of a quarter when my arm was outreached, it was a yellowish/orange color and had no sound. We were all speculating as to what it could be but nothing conventional fit, we watched it for 10-15 minutes when I noticed it was very slowly rising (there was a big pine tree right underneath it and based on the trees upmost tip is how I first noticed that it rising). After it was about an additional 100 feet in the air (about 1/2 an hour after it first appeared in the sky) three small, very intenensly bright white lights, they reminded me of a diamonds sparkle, appeared around the first light. After a few minutes all three of the smaller lights darted, in a zig-zag manner to the south at a very high speed, we lost sight of them behind a mountain. At this point the first, large light started slowly dimming out until it wasnt visible, then it would slowly dim on to its original brightness, the cycle would take about 5 minutes from bright to dim to bright agian. At the same it was acsending a little faster than earlier but still very slowly. We watched it ascend until it was out of sight, about an hour after the little lights had darted off. This wasnt a specutlar sighting from what I've read since, but it really raised my curiosity on this issue. One peculiar fact I'll like to point out, before the incident, I had noticed airplanes on a north-western path above us, one about every 20 minutes or so (the red blinking lights stood out in that crystal clear sky), during the sighting, no planes flew over.
