Approximately 26 August 2007, while sitting on the dunes at the beach, I saw what appeared to be a small falling star; it suddenly changed to a horizontal direction, growing larger as it moved, toward where my husband were sitting. It stopped just in front of us and up over the shoreline. The "star" developed two more stars, one on each side of it. Just seconds later those two developed a star on each side. Thus appearing to be somewhat like a menorah. They appeared for several seconds, then suddenly shot upward disappearing into the night skies. It was white/gold in color, and the "stars" were connected by "streamers" of white/gold. They somewhat sparkled. There was no sound during any of this siting.
