At about 8:00 pm, on december 9, 2017 my husband was coming home from work and called me to tell me to go outside and look at the lights in the sky above our property. when i went out i observed at least 18 -20 bright red lights. the lights were all an equal distance apart and were going off/on in a right to left order. the first light was situated over our pole barn and the last light i could see was over our neighbors property, at least a 1/4 mile away. the lights were traveling at a north-western direction when i first started observing them, but then started moving west. the object moved to the west until it was out of my sight. the object was flying low to the ground (500 -600 hundred feet). tonight is clear and stars are out, and the object covered the stars as it moved. it moved very slowly and at times seemed to actually pause in the sky. there was absolutely no sound, but our dogs were barking like crazy (they were not outside but in the house). i wanted others to view the objects so i contacted my neighbor. she witnessed the exact same thing. i also called the jackson county sheriffs department and they dispatched a deputy. the deputy also witnessed the lights and actually tried to follow them. i got on facebook and there was a flurry of conversations regarding the lights.
