Duration: 15 min
No of observers: 4

Location: Gilbert, AZ, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

2 red star-like lights, western sky, moving towards the south east. 1st disapeared, the next disapeared in the same spot.

We saw two red lights that looked exactly like red stars, in fact my little sister was the one that noticed them first, she said" Amanda look, two red stars". At first I thought that they were plains, however the lights didn't flash and they weren't moving in the same manor as airplanes do. The two red lights were in the western sky and far apart from eachother but they were moving in the same direction which was towardds the South east. We continued to watch them, we even tried to view them through a telescope but we couldn't fallow them. After about 10 minites the first one disapeared and then a couple minutes later the second one disapeared in the same location.
