NUFORC Sighting 09729

Occurred: 1999-09-13 22:05 Local
Reported: 1999-09-13 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 30 sec
No of observers: 1

Location: St. Joseph, MI, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

I just witnessed three solid bright white lights moving in a south-southeasterly direction. There were not blinking or colored lights visible. There was no sound audible.

While sitting outside watching for shooting stars my dog and I witnessed a cluster of three bright white lights moving at a high rate of speed in a south shoutheasterly direction. They were above the clouds but very low. There were other objects in the sky during the night which could be easily identified as airplanes by their blinking lights and their landing lights are only visable when they approach my vision and not when moving away from my vision. These lights were brighter than landing lights and moving away from me about 45 degrees from the horizon. There were no sounds like when aircraft fly over and lower than when I see satilites. The objects left no trail and disappered when they went behind cloud cover and reappeared on the other side. My computer was on inside the house but did not seem to be affected by the object. I am not sure what I saw but it was not an airplane, sattilite, hilicopter or anything else I can think of. I decided to send this information in case there may be other sightings.
