Location: Las Vegas, NV, USA

Shape: Formation


Silent and extremely fast-moving V-formation of 8 orangish lights.

I was outside in my backyard looking at the night sky and spotted a V-formation of dim orangish lights approaching from the SE headed NW. As they got closer I saw there were 8 separte objects, eliptical in shape and all about an 1/8 inch in diameter if you held a ruler at arms length. The intensity of the lights never changed but they didn't glow like normal lights. They were dull and there was no glare. They were edging each other out much like race cars down the final stretch but still maintained more or less a close V-shape and appeared to glide rather than fly as they passed overhead at about my 1 o'clock position. I estimated their altitude to be about 20,000 ft. Their speed was incredible, covering about 90 degress of sky in about 5 seconds and were completely silent.
