1900hrs 3 orange/yellow lights appeared in the south east sky. Moving very slowly in the north west direction.

1900 hrs apox 3 orange/yellow lights were seen in the south-east sky. A videoHI8 video was used to record the evidence. The object seemed to be tilted upward slightly with the right side up; this gave the illusion of the lower 2 lights to be slightly closed closer together at first: . . . the object then moved very slowly with no sound towards us and over our head of which then the lights were more of the original shape: . . . Apox. 10 minuytes later each light went out slowly until nothing else could be seen. the cloud deck was at aprox 3000ft.We belive that the object was above the clouds which would explain why the clouds could be seen through the lights seemed defused slightly. None of the observers have ever seen a UFO and are sceptical to what really was seen but all agree they have neverseen anything like this before! Called the local USAF base McCellan and only the coast guard is on the base ,they had nothing flying last night. Called the Sac. Co Sherrif Dept Flight OPS and they had nothing flying in the area. video will be sent to you.
