Triangle Pattern Of Lights Off San Diego Coastline

From the beach in Oceanside, CA, 25 miles north of Mt Soledad (La Jolla), I observed the formation of lights described by "the pilot" in the other report.

I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway, when I noticed the triangle pattern of 3 extremely bright yellow orange lights. I drove to a beach parking lot adjacent to Wisconsin Street in Oceanside to get a clear view over the ocean of the lights. Other people there at the beach were observing the lights as well and remarking that they seemed strange. The lights appeared to be 5 to 10 miles off the San Diego coast over the ocean due West of La Jolla. The lowest light of the triangle pattern may have been 5,000 to 7,500 feet in altitude. The 2 upper lights of the triangle formation were not level, and may have been in the 10,000 to 12,500 altitude range. The triangle was large and the lights were much brighter in intensity than any aircraft landing lights would have been at that distance. I tried to t! ake a picture with my cel phone camera but the images did not register. All of us present observed the light pattern for about 10 minutes, then one seemed to turn off.

I drove off, continuing Southward on Pacific Coast Highway towards home, and when I looked about 10 minutes later the lights were gone. My thought was the lights may have been some type of signal flares and perhaps the Navy was conducting some sort of training or practice exercise off of the San Diego coast. I have seen signal flares in the night sky at Camp Pendelton and they slowly descend and weaken as they drop. These lights did not descend and were at least 10x's brighter or more than any signal flare I've seen. I've done a couple of Google searches and couldn't find any mention or explanation.

When I came across the other report from "the pilot" on Mt Soledad, I realized we had observed the same lights, and decided to file this report. I do not believe earth has ever been visited by "extraterrestrials", I believe there is a man made explanation of these lights.
