8-10 Amber colored lights seen in the Eastern Sky above Santa Cruz, CA
In the sky to the East of Santa Cruz, CA (latitude 38) I was outside in my backyard moving the water hose when I looked up to see 8-10 bright little lights in the sky. They were kind of amber colored...kinda soft and bright at the same time. My husband says they were the color of a sodium light. They were in some formation and then broke apart and 2 began to fly southwest...I thought they were going to collide they came so close to eachother but then they just passed by one another and I turned my attention to the others and they were just moving so slowly and haphazardly that I called my husband outside....He and my 6 year old son came out and became engrossed in the lights as well...there was no sound at all... Some would just all of a sudden flicker and disappear...
I called my neighbor who is a pilot and he came outside with his wife...He said he's never seen anything like it either. The lights eventually dimmed and disappeared..
