Duration: ~30 seconds
No of observers: 1
Location: Port Orange, FL, USA
Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object
Hovering lights, apparently a helicopter, with very dim lights and no discernible sound.
I saw a strange set of lights which seemed to be hovering over Dunlawton Avenue near the intersection of Clyde Morris Blvd. I was driving west on Dunlawton. I saw them above and in front of me. They drew my attention because they seemed unusually dim for an aircraft that apparently low. I first tried to determine if the apparent lack of motion was because the craft was moving away or coming toward me, but I drove under it without it seeming to move. As I drove under, I lowered my window and listened for the sounds of the engine or rotors of what I assumed at that point was a helicopter. I couldn't hear anything over the street sounds of the traffic on the road. I lost sight of the lights as I continued to drive west. The night sky was cloudy. The lights were muted, about 4or 5 of them, white and blue I think. The altitude of the lights was such that I could see the lights clearly, but not the craft they were on. My best w.a.g. is 1000 feet or so.
This may be nothing unusual. I just wanted to report it in case it corroborates a better report of the same object.
