SIGHTING: PETALUMA, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At approximately 8:30pm i went outside to go for a walk. it was dark, and the sky was clear. while standing outside, i noticed a light in the sky, moving at a high rate of speed from the west toward the north east. i next noticed a second white light, same size, moving at the same speed and same direction as the one before. roughly 1 minute behind the first light. i then noticed a 3rd light, same situation. one minute behind, moving the same direction and same speed. another light appeared, same as the other 3. another, and another. after 8 lights, all coming from the same place in the sky, moving the same speed, and going in the same direction, all equidistant from each other, and light the same as the others, appeared higher in the sky and at a slightly different trajectory. another 4 lights followed that one in the same altitude and trajectory. then another light appeared at a lower altitude and slightly different trajectory, followed by 5 more lights. at that point the trail of lights in the sky stopped. none of them made any sound. we have many jets flying overhead throughout the day and night, because we live near multiple airports. these lights did not blink, were all white, and were flying much higher than normal aircraft. the event lasted 10 minutes. all lights went in the same direction, northeast, though some took slightly different trajectories to get there. all originated in the western sky.
