2013-12-12 - Escondido, CA - Light

28 objects sighted moving west to east, just below Venus; single light, thought to be satellites but not.

First object noticed had single light; no aircraft running lights observed or sound; attention to eye came from believing it was a satellite-- moving from west to east, just below Venus; just bright enough to be believed to be a satellite yet dim enough given relative speed to the stars to believe same. Watched for minute- then noticed second light in tandem, about a fist width apart to the southwest-- caught interest as never seen satellites orbing in tandem. Got binoculars. Again more single lights appeared from west, below Venus, .... then third... fourth.... fifth... evenly spaced-- same relative speed.... counted total of 28 following same flight path, same relative speed; each a single light- no running lights; no sound at all, all moving west to east at velocity one would believe was a satellite in orbit. Only guess would be aircraft leaving a carrier to land at an airbase in San Diego-- but no sound at all-- and only a single light- no red/green flas! hing running lights.
