Duration: 6 or 7 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Indianapolis, IN, USA

Shape: Light

4 green lights coming from the northeast sky downward at about a 45 degree angle. Lights seemed perfectly spaced and moved at the same rate of speed.

At approximately 7:05pm on Tuesday, November 16th, 1999 I was walking northeast from the building were I work, on the southeast side of Indianapolis, to my car in the parking lot for my lunch hour. I was watching the sky when I noticed 4 bright green lights coming from the northeast moving downward at an approximately 45 degree angle. It was such an unusual sight that I caught my breath and stopped walking to watch. The front light seemed larger, maybe about the size of Venus. The trailing 3 lights were slightly smaller. All were very bright neon green. They seemed to be perfectly spaced apart and were all moving at the same rate of speed. The rate of speed seemed slow for a "shooting star". I saw them clearly for maybe 2 or 3 seconds, then trees partially blocked my vision. I walked forward keeping them insight until they disappeared below the horizon. The total length of the sighting was perhaps 6 or 7 seconds.
