In the western sky there were a semi circular formation of lights twinkling. White and brilliant in a formation. The sky apeared to have some high clowdyness and I did not see a complete circle as it seemed there must have been 20 or more lights. The arc must have covered a 20 mile (estimated area) unless it was closer than I perceived it to be. I did not see any material object but just lights and the outline or formation of a huge area of the westwern shy. If it was not for the semicircular formation I could have easily mistaken it for just an atmospheric phenomena that caused a number of brilliant twinkling lights. My neighbor came out of the house about that time and I called him over to see. Some of the lights were starting to dissapear by then but several were remainig. (Strange flares?)
