Duration: 5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Sebastopol, CA, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Just before 11 PM I had finished checking my boxes out in the poolhouse/cottage ( where my office is) and was standing in the dark, enjoying the night sky, dark, hardly any moonlight and the big dipper was out really bright overhead.

My eyes had adjusted well, and was just about to walk back up to the house and do some reading before bed, I looked to the east and saw a group of lights, (maybe 6 or7, didnt count them) not in a straight row, but with a slight curve, not much, but slightly like maybe a bow when its strung. They were not bright, but dim lights, a soft blue/white color (naturally Im color blind so its hard to say) sort of reminded me of the color from a LCD flashlight, but dimmer.

They flew from the east overhead and disapeared to the west. And they were traveling faster than anything I have ever seen. I thought at first it was a series of shooting stars, but there wasnt any trail, or space junk, but no trail. That fast though, get my idea of speed. AND TOTALLY SILENT.............and Im far enough out in the country where therte is not much noise.

NOT a sound, nada zip. about 10 seconds after it was gone, I realized just what it was, because I had a similar experience when I was about 11 years old.

When I realized what Id seen, I got that same feeling again that I did back in "64", Im still like a little stunned right now, but had to log this down in here, as a safe spot with proof.
