Reported: 2006-11-19 12:11 Pacific
Duration: 3 to 5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Hiram, GA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Four Check mark shaped lights seen in the night sky over Georgia, traveling west to east.

While watching the sky to get a glimpse of the meteor shower caused by the Leonid Meteor, I observed 4 lights travelling from west to east in a set formation. The lights maintained the same heading and did not break formation or streak like a shooting star. The lights seemed very far away and were sort of dim, not bright and piercing like plane lights, but more like the glow of a low watt bulb. Although the lights were travelling at a high altitude, they crossed the sky in seconds. I did not witness any vapor entrails but it was night and the city lights in the distance did not allow for a good star-watch night.

To imagine what the lights look like, make an upside down check mark. The three points of the check mark would signify a light, but the long side had three lights evenly spaced.
