I was walking alone from my shop after work yesterday evening around 7pm to main house when I saw 6-8 orange lights, like small orange balls, in a line as if they were planes in a row, in the western sky. I thought at first these were planes that took off from San Jose, but that would be too far and over mountains, but I really dont know. After a few minutes these object no longer stayed in line, but dispersed in different directions and then faded away. One orange ball stayed bright for a few minutes longer, but it too eventually disappeared, just faced away.I couldn't think of anything that could account for these lights except maybe some kind of military technology that was dropped from a plane possibly.I was feeling a little excited that I was seeing something rare,, If there is an explanation I would like to know what it was.
