SIGHTING: CRESCENT CITY, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Last night, 10/24/15, at about 8:00 pm I went into the laundry room and noticed an unusual light out the window. It wasn't like any sort of aircraft I'd ever seen, notably for its orange color and overall star-like glow. I stepped outside for a better look and saw a second light moving in tandem with the first one, directly behind it. There was no noticeable sound. Just as these lights passed into the low clouds, after moving across the sky for about 15-20 seconds, a third orange light came along the same path, this time slightly lower in the horizon. I came inside the house to phone a friend to tell her what I'd just seen. A few minutes later I returned outside, with my camera. Another then another and another orange light passed, the last one being the lowest in the horizon. All lights traveled in the same direction at the same rate and passed into the clouds. None but the tiniest bit of an image was successfully recorded, largely due to my fumbling with the camera in the dark. My first and only "reasonable" thought is that these were part of a military flight exercise. But the next day (today, !0/25/15) no one I've spoken to, including a sheriff's deputy, has said that they're aware of the event. Nothing has turned up on line so far that I can find. I have seen a missal before years ago, and along the same path, thus making me think of a military exercise. But if so, what kind of exercise? I think it's very possible that there were more lights before and/or after the ones that I saw."
