NUFORC Sighting 37178

Occurred: 2003-10-15 23:00 Local - Approximate

Duration: 10 Seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Maryville, MO, USA

Shape: Light

Amber Lights in formation, and then changing alignment

My roomate and myself were out on our deck looking at stars when all of the sudden we both saw something peculiar at the same point. There were 4 Amber colored lights flying in a diamond formation. They were approximately 3-5000 ft up in the air. We followed them for a few seconds, then all of the sudden the diamond formation broke and they aligned in a straight line, flying at an angle. The change in formation was something so perfect and symmetrical that no conventional aircraft could pull off. The craft were flying fairly fast, and were gone after a few seconds. We were both amazed, and agreed that it was nothing of this planet. After ten minutes or so, the amber lights appeared again. This time they were once again travelling in the diamond, returning from the direction that they went the first time. They stayed in the diamond the entire time they went across the sky, which wasn't long because of the speed in which they were moving. I've never seen anything like it in my life.

Four Amber lights in formation, and then changing alignment

This is just to amend the report I made on 5/26/04. It should have been listed as approx. 10/15/2003 instead of 2002. I also incorrectly labeled it as a Light, when I think formation would be more appropriate. I'm also a little fuzzy on the altitude, they seemed lower than most conventional jet flight, yet traveled just as fast while creating now discernable sound.
