I could see a strange arc of lights in a half oval formation over the horizon of downtown Reno. I had a great view of all of downtown Reno as I was higher up and north. The arc of lights was well above the horizon and clearly not part of any of the myriad lights downtown.
There were anywhere from 2-6 starlike lights at a time, they would sometimes completely dim out to nothing, while some shone brillianty as Sirius at times. There were always at least 2 lights, and a maximum of 6 lights total, forming half-oval arc.
The lights when at their brightest shone all the colors of the spectrum, when dimmer mainly reds and yellows. The lights always stayed in the same curious arc formation, even after dimming and totally going dark; when they shined again was still in same arc formation.
It appeared as though they arc was slowly moving higher in the sky.
Unfortunately I was walking home after a work shift and the wife was wondering what was taking so long and cleary not interested in lights over downtown, or I would have stayed longer. Also using an older phone and camera was not up to par to capture the lights over the brilliance of downtown.
I have walked many a nights through Reno and never seen anything quite like this.
