At the ocean edge, on the beach, just prior to day light, the sky was dark with only one very bright light in the sky. It was larger then a star but very bright white. It was far off but seemed to just stay in one spot, like a star. I took a picture of it but it only came out black as it was still dark. (later I took a picture in day light but at this writing the white light does not seem to show in the picture) As day light turned brighter and became full day light, the sky was clear light blue with only the bright light in the sky. The light seemed to be moving away from the earth. I got my binoculars and then view two separate lights close together. The bigger light, 3/8 inch in size was on the right and looking with the binoculars the left side had a much small 1/8 inch white light on the left, just next to the bigger light. With time both had slowly moved 2 inches away from each other all seen using the binoculars. Looking at the light without the binoculars appeared to be one light.

Now this is the strange part, the 1/8 inch light on left appeared instantly with a group of about 24 lights, smaller then the 1/8 inch light, which formed a 12 inch diameter circle. Inside the circle the 24 lights each seem to be spaced very evenly, like a diamond display or a 4th of July fireworks that spreads out in a designed circle. That 12 inch circle stayed behind the smaller light, on the left, and stayed at the 2 inch space from the light on the right. After about 15 minutes both seemed to be moving further away from earth. A little later, the bigger 3/8 inch light on the right then also instantly produced the same type circle with all the arranged small lights only this circle was only 4 inches in diameter. We viewed this 2nd circle for about 10 minutes along with the 12 inch circle with the small light on the left.

During this time the sun was not up, just day light, all clear blue sky when some clouds from the south came and finally blocked the sight of the two white lights. After the cloud came, we never saw the lights again.

The strange part, in summary, were those two perfect circles appearing with the small sparkling lights all neatly arranged. All this was seen though my binoculars by my wife and myself.
