Three bright white lights seen in formation above the ocean in Myrtle Beach
I was in Myrtle Beach with a group of my friends for a vacation and we all had decided to go sit down on the beach itself and just take in the waves and wind. The sun had just set, and there was a fair amount of light still illuminating the western sky, but the shoreline faces east in South Carolina so the sky over the ocean was about 80% of the total darkness it would reach, by my estimation.
My friends and I were sitting in the sand directly facing the ocean. I was looking above the water at the stars and the various aircraft traveling through the sky when I noticed something odd. There were three sustained white lights in a very close and tight triangular formation. When I first saw them they weren’t moving, and I shrugged it off as a natural occurrence but still kept my eye on them. Suddenly, all three objects began advancing westward (toward land) in perfect unison. This is when I alerted some of my friends to what I was seeing. The lights kept perfect formation and moved very slowly. The lights continued to move for a minute or two before stopping on a dime and maintaining the formation. The lights held there for another minute or so, and then they simply vanished. No movement or anything. The lights were there and then they weren’t. It was almost as if they were switched off somehow.
