Formation of floating lights in Thanksgiving night sky This report is in response to your segment on Coast to Coast AM on Thanksgiving night concerning the red/orange lights in the sky. On Thanksgiving night November 24, 2011 at around 2030-2045 I stepped outside my house to go to work as a night security guard. In the Eastern sky over Lathrop CA and headed toward Manteca CA the next city over, there were about 8-10 red lights in formation floating in the sky. It seemed that the lights were moving slowly West to East. At first I tried to rationalize the lights as Asian Sky Lanterns but all of the lights moved in formation like a flock of birds and always maintained the same speed and interval. My neighbor also saw the lights, though I cannot say that he was sober that night. Hopefully this report is part of a bigger puzzle from that night.

Formation of floating lights in Thanksgiving night sky

This report is in response to your segment on Coast to Coast AM on Thanksgiving night concerning the red/orange lights in the sky.

On Thanksgiving night November 24, 2011 at around 2030-2045 I stepped outside my house to go to work as a night security guard. In the Eastern sky over Lathrop CA and headed toward Manteca CA the next city over, there were about 8-10 red lights in formation floating in the sky. It seemed that the lights were moving slowly West to East.

At first I tried to rationalize the lights as Asian Sky Lanterns but all of the lights moved in formation like a flock of birds and always maintained the same speed and interval.

My neighbor also saw the lights, though I cannot say that he was sober that night. Hopefully this report is part of a bigger puzzle from that night.
