String of Lights over Unadilla MI

July 2, 2010 Unadilla MI.

After coming home from the movies between 10:30 and 11 pm, I was out to close up the chicken coop when I heard a bunch of coyotes yelping out in the woods. There were getting quite loud and I was saying to myself, sounds like they fighting.

Then all of sudden they quit it and it became very quiet and that’s when I noticed some very bright red lights coming up from the tree line in the southeast over Unadilla or Josilin Lake.

First, I saw three then six to eight flying like they were attached to each other on a string. I ran in to get my daughter and wife to see what I was seeing, by then they were higher in the sky (30 to 40 degrees E) when they started to fade into the night sky. After a moment of two they were all faded. I waited for another five minutes to see if I could hear any engine noise thinking that they were helicopters the way they were flying.

I was in the Air Force for a few years and this is the only aircraft that could fly in this manner.

There were no sounds of any type of aircraft what so ever. I would like to know if anyone else had seen this odd light show.

Unadilla, MI.
