8/31/2000, "21:15-25" Bouse Az, friend and husband saw 6 bright amber lights appear in East and Northeast skies.

On 08/31/2000 at 21:15 to 21:25 (Bouse, Arizona), light overcast, high misty clouds. a friend and my husband saw 6 extremely bright amber lights East and North East of them in the direction of Prescott/Harquehala mountains. Our friend is a pragmatic kind and was shocked to see 5 lights appear suddenly about 20 degrees up from the horizon. "Just hanging as if someone struck a light..just flared up and flared out but just hung there". My husband saw one bright amber light appear in the North East about 30 degrees up from the horizon. We have witnessed such lights before but this is the first time, our friend has seen anything like this.

NUFORC Note:

The witnesses in this case are well known to us, and we consider them to be quite reliable. We do not know what the lights are that have been appearing in this are since 02FE00. PD
