Reported: 2015-01-20 20:45 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Simi Valley, CA, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

I saw about five orange glowing spheres traveling at a slow steady pace one after another. They were spaced fairly even. I recorded the event on my Samsun Galaxy S5 phone. The lights had the exact same color as high pressure sodium street lights. I found this strange as I never saw this color before from an aircraft. The lights were solid and non-blinking. The traveled generally North and then turned West towards Camarillo. They appeared to be high in the sky. At first I thought they may have been toy drones, but after the first one 4 or more showed up soon after in the same flight pattern. After heading west they got much dimmer rapidly, and I could no longer see them. My best guess would be some military aircraft, but I really don’t know. In the videos you can see regular planes fly by as a frame of reference, so you can see just how different these lights looked. Since these lights were flying very close to the main air corridor to LAX and Burbank - I wonder if any pilots or passenger saw anything.

I uploaded the videos to YouTube.
