Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Sacramento, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Saw two lights moving together and upward in the sky then disappearing, followed by one that disappeared, followed by another two.

Was on the phone outside when I saw two lights off in the distance in the sky, not blinking like a plane's lights do. They were flying next to each other so immediately I thought they were military aircraft in a training exercise. They seemed to be coming toward me, but after second thought I think they were going up. They started moving away from each other, and then one disappeared, followed by the other disappearing about twenty seconds later.

Then, from the horizon, a similar light went up and disappeared, this time by itself.

Next, two more lights came from the horizon, just like in the first description, and disappeared after parting ways.

The sky was a bit cloudy but not enough to block out stars, etc. I'm sure it wasn't a commercial aircraft because I saw commercial aircraft flying when I saw the lights. Very interesting sighting; never seen anything like it before. I was thinking maybe it was a missile but I've seen those too and they were moving too slowly to be missiles. Still scratching my head. Couldn't get a video because my phone ran out of battery as soon as I turned on my video camera, but this link depicts what I saw almost exactly:
