Duration: 2 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Grand Rapids, MI, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Uniform circular pattern of lights moving very fast across the sky several thousand feet high.

My son and I were camping in the back yard in a tent. It was after dusk but not very dark yet. I saw a pattern of lights move across the sky from high up left to a downward direction to the lower right. The object was a circular pattern of about 5 bright yellow lights with one light in the center. It was not very high in the sky, about 2,000 feet. It was about the size of a dime from 20 feet away. It moved very fast. It may have changed direction but I am not certain. I first thought it was a shooting star but the uniform pattern of lights is not consistent with that.
