Strange light formations in the night sky
At approximately 9:30 PM, I stepped out of the back door of our home, where I saw very bright red objects slowly moving across the sky to the west of us. They were coming from the north, and heading south. The night sky was cloudless.
The first ones I saw seemed to be fairly close together, and traveling in a ‘V’ formation. Then I noticed more individual objects coming in from the distance behind them. None appeared to be going any faster than the others, and were traveling at a horizontal level.
I called my wife and daughter out to see this unusual sight. I jokingly told them them the aliens were here. They came out and witnessed this with me.
Some of these brightly lit objects would slowly fade to solid black, then begin a slight downward flight, in a large arc across the sky.
At first I thought the setting sun from behind the hillside to the west was giving them the bright red/orange coloring.
I recalled that on the recent news that we could have meteor showers later tonight and into the early morning hours. I thought perhaps this was what we were seeing, but I have seen meteor showers before, and these looked nothing like that. There were no tails, they moved slowly what seemed in unison, and were very brightly colored as if they were on fire.
My wife took a few photos with her camera phone, and posted them on Face book.
She called a couple TV stations which seemed to brush her off like she was making this up.
When we looked at photos of UFO’s on the Internet, a couple photos looked very similar.
After about ten minutes, they had disappeared entirely toward the Southwest, with no more.
The news reported that the meteor shower was to begin in a couple hours.
