solid triangular formation of white lights, probably birds
While standing in a restaurant parking-lot, in the evening, near a busy general-aviation airport, I looked up to see a twin-engine plane at low altitude. The plane was heading ESE generally.
I noticed, near the plane and heading south, a formation of approximately ten white lights in a solid triangular pattern, like a rack of billiard balls. After about a second-and-a-half, the lights dimmed, then disappeared.
The spacing, altitude, direction, time of year, and dimming would be consistent with a flight of geese heading south, their undersides reflecting bright parking-lot lights, although I have never seen a solid triangular formation of birds.
((NUFORC Note: We congratulate the witness on his being descriminating as to what it was he observed. We suspect that a flight of migratory birds would have been visible for more than 1.5 seconds. PD))
