Strange yellowish lights seen southeast of Rolla, Missouri

I wish to confirm the sightings of lights seen by the woman in Salem Missouri. I too saw three or four yellowish colored lights that night. They appeared in the low sky I thought they were street lights until I realized they were too far away and too high in elevation from my vantage point to be street lights. I am familiar with most of the lights in the area around my house, and those seemed out of place. They were almost to my souteast as I looked from my window on the south side of my house. They did not appear to be moving, but were stationary. I wish I'd known about this website earlier, as I would have sent you a note. Nevertheless, that's what I saw.

There is an Army base close to here (Ft.LeonardWood), and they may have had some slow moving aircraft inbound. I didn't really think about it(except the non-moving appearance and the Military aircraft in the aerea didn't add up) alot until I saw the note from Salem describing something very similar.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
