Reported: 2003-01-05 21:02 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Chula Vista, CA, USA

Shape: Circle

Bright object moved slowly across the sky in clear daylight and in formation with at least 10 other objects.

At approximately 2:30 p.m., on a very clear day, I looked up and noticed a long contrail that had gone across most of the sky; Southeast to northwest. I also noticed a very bright object high in the sky. It was so bright that it looked like a very large star, except that it also appeared somewhat elongated, and this was in full daylight. It was moving very slowly high in the sky so I decided to quickly grab my binoculars from my truck. Using my binoculars I was totally surprised to see that there were actually a total of 10 to 11 circle shaped objects within the background of the brighter and larger object. These other objects were also moving with the bright object in a formation-like manner (triangular and diamond shaped formation). I could see these smaller objects only with the binoculars and were not at all visible with the naked eye. These smaller objects appeared like white faded spots around the bright object and they did not reflect much light. My fifty-six year old sister also saw the objects with me.
