I was on the telephone with my brother who was telling me that he saw a strange light in a nearby town to the North of where i live. He looked away for a second and it was gone. After i hung up with him I was telling on of my sons about what my brother had just told me. My other son went outside to get something from his car and he yelled out for me to come outside. My other son and I ran outside to see what was happening, He was facing East, towards the mountains and when we looked we couldn't believe what we were seeing. There were about five glowing lights in a large spread out V formation. I ran inside to get my husband and daughter and her boyfriend and my sons girlfriend. We all witnessed the lights. 7 of us. My daughter tried to record them but they were not showing up on her phone. when I went back out side there were only 3 lights and one by one they dimmed and disappeared. Every one else came inside. I, my daughter and her boyfriend sat outside for and hour and a half and we saw one of the same lights come back and the disappear. we saw it for about 3 minutes. we still waited and looked but didn't see anything any more. I did notice 2 airplanes in the far distance in the same area of the lights flying in a circle there. I texted a friend and she told me that her brother also saw the lights. It was scary and exciting. What was it? Where did they go? What are they doing? I have lived in this spot for 10 years. WE have seen things here and there but nothing like that. I would love to know WHAT we were seeing.
