NUFORC Sighting 13416

Occurred: 2000-07-06 22:00 Local
Reported: 2000-07-13 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Barstow, CA, USA

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object

Two white (non blinking) lights at the end of a short cigar shaped object...red light came on between them.

This occurance was on I-15 between Vegas and Los Angeles......it was West of Barstow ( I had to estimate the time). We had the top off our car and my husband said, "What's that above us?" I looked up and saw 2 lights which were traveling one behind the other...headed west/northwest....They were SO close together that I assumed they HAD to be one light at each end of a Cigar shaped object. We watched it for at LEAST 10 minutes. About 2 minutes into it....a red light Came ON in between the 2 white lights (none of the lights blinked). It stayed on for a minute or so...then went off. It turned on....then off...a couple more times. We watched it until it went behind a mountain. When we finally rounded the mountain (15 minutes or so) I saw 2 bright lights on the horizon....FAR away from each other. May have been insignificant.... As I watched ...one of the lights just went off. Strange!
