Reported: 2019-11-22 12:33 Pacific
Duration: 4-7 seconds

Location: Sonoma, CA, USA

Shape: Formation

V formation of lights, moving south to north, VERY FAST, faster than anything man made, totally silent, changed formation in air.

At approximately 1:40 A.M. PST I was looking at the constellation Orion when I noticed movement. It took 1 second for my eyes to focus but and before they had done so I assumed satellite. Once my eyes focused, I saw 5 small dull lights in a V formation moving extremely fast from south to north. As the object passed over me the 5 lights seemed to be in such a formation that I immediately thought stealth bomber at a relatively low altitude. This was odd cause my initial thought was that this object was far away. As I was thinking this the 5 lights seemed to spread out then get close together before totally shifting formation in the air. At this point the object had traversed most of the sky and I realized that the formation and distance changed between the dull lights indicating that this was not 1 object but 5. As I was struggling to comprehend this object they got brighter and another one appeared. They did not get very bright. It was almost as if light was ! being reflected off them due to their angle and for a spilt second I thought they could be birds, snow geese in particular. As I thought this they lost that light got in a tighter formation and accelerated away.

-I have never seen anything move this fast -The shifting of formation and changes in distance between the lights was unique -Object was completely silent -Altitude and distance was hard to gauge
