Shape: Light | Duration: 4-5 seconds
Source:

SUMMARY: 3 dull orange lights closely clustered traveling from NNW to SSE. Traveling at high altitude & rate of speed with a abrupt jog to the east directly above then continuing SSE.After some showers, clear evening sky to the North, high broken skies to the South East.Sitting on sixth floor veranda, nearest to the beach, lights in courtyard had been turned off.Wife and I were sky browsing when my peripheral vision picked up some rapid movement to the NorthEast. The object, which looked like 3 dull orange lights close together, moved very rapidily from10:00 to 2:00 with a slight jog to the East at 12:00. Its speed was faster than an aircraft, and had no other lights. We lost sight of this object over the clouds to the South East.The skies were crystal clear with the exception of the high clouds to the South East.I am a Director of Electronics and have been in the industry for 30+ years. Served a brief stint in the Navy flying in P5M's in the mid 60's in Vietnam.My wife is a business office manager in the hospital field for the past 25+ years.
