original call 9-30-98-Saw 5 lights in crooked 'J' form. ZOOM from north to south.No sound.Light constant-NOT meteoric in appearance.Seemed to move as if connected-no variance in distance between.

I was standing in my backyard looking at the stars on a clear Arizona night when I saw five small lights in a crooked 'J' formation bullet across the sky. They seemed to be incredibly high up, but even at night when things are pretty quiet I heard nothing as I would expect from a plane or planes flying over. The lights-which had no tails-simply flew from north to south. It was practically over as I realized I was seeing something visibly odd.When asked of the size of the group, I said it was about double the size of a full moon-the whole group.Their speed was unimaginably fast and their light was constant-no brightening or diminishing.They appeared separate but moved as one.
