Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Reno, NV, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

Unidentified light formation spotted twice in 5 minutes, different location

It had been a rainy day and it was a dark, foggy night as I was driving the windy back roads through some horse property along Lakeside Avenue. The fog was rather low and as I came around a sharp curve in the road, I saw a cluster of lights hovering perfectly still. The all white light cluster consisted of a perfectly straight upper row of 8 lights with 2 lower lights on both right and left sides, almost like a plane, but a tighter formation. The lights were about 200-300 feet in the air and it was clear to distinguish the distance with the low lying fog. The object appeared to hover like a drone, but it was too large to be a drone and I dismissed it as a plane, knowing it didn’t seem correct. I had taken a phone call just before the sighting and told my friend on the line what I was seeing, but couldn’t quite articulate what it was. Five minutes later, I’m still on the call and now approaching a golf coarse and see the EXACT SAME formation at approximately ! the same altitude, just hovering like before. No movement. I travel about 1/4 mile before I turned the vehicle around in an attempt to capture a photo, but it was gone.
