Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Spring, TX, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Approx. 10 amber colored objects flying in formation in a clear night sky.

Several amber colored objects were flying in a pattern, observed behind some pine trees at first, very near us in a clear night sky. Total number of objects approximately 10. Elevation maybe 5000 feet.

At first we thought it was fireworks or maybe light poles from a sporting event. However, as we passed the pine trees it was obvious there was no arena and no sporting event and it was not fireworks falling from the sky. Instead the objects were slowly moving away from us, staying in formation, moving in a north to northwest direction. Each object seemed to have several lights on it, all seemed amber colored. Exact shape of each object not clear.

There were three of us in the car, all seeing the same thing. We tried to stop and get a picture, but there were a of couple light poles in the parking lot we pulled into, and the white light from those poles flooded the sky and washed out the amber lights. Meanwhile the amber objects were fading into the distance. Maybe 2 minutes total time had elapsed from our first observation.
