Four or five lights appearing to emanate from the clouds in the southwest sky
At about 9:00 p.m. this evening I was taking my two dogs out for a walk. The sky was cloudy and the wind was blowing at about 10 to 15 mph.
I looked up and noticed four or five white lights in the clouds making wide circles (in the south west sky). At first I thought it might be a search light (and it could have been) but I also noticed that the lights were moving slowly west. They would make wide circles, then join in the middle, separate and continue making wide circles.
I watched for about two or three minutes, then noticed that they changed from clockwise to counter clockwise orbits. They gradually stopped, one at a time. From the time I began observing them to the time they fades was about 5 minutes.
The shift westward from the time I began observing them to the time they faded was about 20 degrees. I am reporting this because I could not discern any beam of light coming from the ground.
It looked like the lights were embedded in/emanating from the clouds.
I called for my 16 year old daughter and she also witnessed the lights.
