NUFORC Sighting 128685

Occurred: 2016-07-23 21:30 Local
Reported: 2016-07-23 22:34 Pacific
Duration: 15 minutes (approx)
No of observers: 2

Location: La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, CA, USA

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

Dozens of bright star-like orbs moving together rapidly across the sky (not in formation). Traveling south to north. All were moving about the same fast pace, but some would slow and/or slightly change directions. When they got to be directly overhead they appeared to stop and just hover.

We continued watching and they remained overhead and moving a little side to side, back and forth. At this point, it seemed they were moving away from the earth (vs. across the sky as before) because they started to fade.

Watched for another five minutes and they continued to fade. They continued to shift around, moved back and forth and around each other as they left. Stopped watching as they became too difficult to see.
