Occurred : 1/1/2019 00:23 (Entered as : 01/01/2019 0:23) Reported: 1/2/2019 5:41:12 AM 05:41 Posted: 1/4/2019 Location: Boise, ID Shape: Light Duration: 3 minutes
I was walking out of work, turning my phone on. I glanced around at the parking lot. I heard fire works going off. Upon looking up about 60° south I saw 6 red/orangish lights. 3 vividly bright. They rather hovered, but moved slowly. The lighting in the parking lot made it hard to decipher my surroundings. As I kept telling myself, it's just airplanes. The further I walked to my car they seemed to disappear as if they were fading away into cloud cover or overcast. While walking under the lighting it almost looked as if there was overcast. As I got away from the lighting more. I noticed there wasn't any cloud cover at all. One by one they vanished. When there were about 3 left, I snapped a photo. And seconds later they were gone. As I assessed when I got to my car. The lights weren't flashing, nor were they white or blue, as an airplane would be. I was walking with my co workers they seemed it was a bit odd but they had split up as we walked further through the parking lot. I reached out on social media to see if anyone else saw this and it doesn't seem anyone did. As it being new years with people being drunk and fireworks going off... Could possibly be why.
