On October 22, 2011 around 8:30 p.m. we saw strange lights in the sky. They were moving slower and at what seemed like a higher altitude than airplanes. We deduced this because several airplanes were in the sky at around the same time. Six of us saw the lights move in a general direction of west by southwest. The lights appeared to be in a triangular formation and several in front seemed to slow down for the remainder. The lights stopped moving and formed a generally straight line. Then, a few at a time, they began to dim down and disappear.
