My wife and I were on our way to Reno. I was looking at a large cloud formation that was pouring out an unbelievable amount of rain. While looking, a shiny object caught my eye. It was just at cloud level. It was V shape in formation, pointing west. It was made up of 7 silver balls. It passed in and out of the clouds, and finally dissappeared in them.

It was just at cloud level. It was V shape in formation, pointing west. It was made up of 7 silver balls. It passed in and out of the clouds, and finally dissappeared in them. At first I thought the formation could have been balloons because of its low elevation. However, the object never changed shape. The object was just at the bottom level of the clouds. It would pass through lower parts of the clouds, and then re-imerge. It was very windy that day. Extremely windy, however, the bject never deviated from its straight course. Sorry, I had no camera at the time, nor a camcorder. My wife and I live in Quincy, CA. About 75 miles from Reno. We were going for a few hours to shop. I work at the saw mill, and she works for Safeway. Also, my mother and father were watching KCRA news on Channel 3. The luive "sky cam" was overlooking Sacramento on 06/04/98 at 12:20pm. Both of the also saw balls of lights in the clouds. They saw 2 sets of 2 balls emerge from the clouds together. They also saw a formation that appeared as the Big Dipper appears in the sky. Although they do have a VCR, the "sky cam" shots over Sacramento are very brief, allowing them to only observe the event. Haime Maussan has video of balls of light coming out of heavy cloud cover over Mexico City, some of them observing the planes closely. What are these things doing in the clouds? Thanks.
