Location: Big Horn Mtns, WY, USA

Shape: Fireball

Bright light that divided, disappeared then repeated several times.

Just got pictures back and remembered the incident via pictures. We were camped at Ranger Creek Campground in the Nat'l Forest. As we looked to the west just after the sun went over the mtn we saw a bright yellowish light in the distance. As we watched, one more appeared on each side of the first (the original staying there too). After maybe 3 minutes they disappeared. Then it was all repeated. This happened maybe 4 or 5 times.
