i saw about 9 single lights in the sky, that seamed to be dancing and weaving in the sky, i thought that maybe it was Chinese lanterns dancing in the night air, i rushed outside and saw them all gather together and head off in an easterly direction as if they were flying in formation, then after about 5 minuets they came back across the sky from left to right and the disappeared off to the north.
In 42 yrs off being on this planet it is by far the most amazing thing i have ever seen, i keep wondering if im still awake and if i really saw what i saw !!!!

well 3 years later it happened around 520 in arizona east side sky a bright light stright line appered in the sky and it got longer then it spun in circles shooting upward and releasing this smoke like cloud form and it was gone leaving behind this extremely bright cloud formation that look like the northern lights but white

hi there from West Palm Beach Florida, my fiance my son and I saw the same lights around 7:00pm 11/25/12 we got them on video with my Ipone. they were quite exquisite to watch.
at first when we noticed them there were 6 in total but by the time we turned the car around they had moved and so we searched for them and when they re-appeared there were only 3 each rose into formation from behind the tree lines one at a time. the video I posted on my fb page is really neat to watch just please turn off the volume lol cause u can hear my retarded voice..lol
