NUFORC Sighting 72004

Occurred: 2009-08-31 00:01 Local
Reported: 2009-09-01 15:10 Pacific
Duration: 5 Minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Escondido, CA, USA

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object

It happened Sunday evening just after midnight. My roomate and myself were smoking a cigarette. He jumped up and exclaimed "what the **** is that!?." Looking up, we both noticed a cigar shaped line of neon blue, almost LED lights. The lights stretched the entire width (from what we could see). The lights would also start to glow brighter, then dim back down. This happened throughout the entire event. The craft was coming from the North, East of us, and slowly heading South. Because it was dark and the moon was out, after a few minutes it was hard to keep an eye on without using our peripheral vision alone. The last thing we noticed, was the craft did not follow the curve of the earth as it went south. It stayed in a single location in the sky, yet grew smaller and harder to see.
