Duration: 4 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Riverside, CA, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Double white lights in chevron shape flying north to south about the size of the constellation of the Pleades, covered half the sky in about 4 seconds.

Looked up at 4:00 in the morning, very clear night, and saw approx. 12 lights in a chevron shape flying from north to south. It covered from up to past the horizon in about 4 seconds. Seemed like to tip lights on each end were slightly forward and out of alignment with the rest of them. The size of the craft, however high it was I can't guess, seemed to be about the size of the constellation of the Pleades. Very similar in appearance, as though the constellation were flying across the sky. Found a picture of the Lubbock (sp?) lights over Texas in the early 50's. Almost exactly the same thing. 11 months later saw (Sept. 12, 1995), also at 4:00 am I saw another chevron shaped ship, but this time it was much higher, seemed to be flying "away" like out of the atmosphere and "away." Instead of having lights, though, this one was a solid "glowing amber" color. Watched it for about six seconds until it was out of sight.
