No of observers: 1

Location: Fruitland Park, FL, USA

Shape: Other

Stepped out in the backyard and was enjoying the evening noticed lower than the clouds normally are, 5-7 slightly off white (not glaring) lights flying in a not quite striaght line, but more like an angle. Sort of like the left arm of a "V" formation. i looked to see if was a dark shadow of a plane wing or something, but no shape.There was no noise associated with them. They moved rather slowly, then suddenly disappeared.

I tried to get the kids to come out to witness the lights move slowly ove the back yard, but couldn't get them outside in time. I tried to get a date and time from the Lake County Sherriff records department, because I reported the above, but they said they hadn't gotten computers in yet and many times didn't keep the hand written reports made. That night when the deputy came I asked if anybody else had made a simular report? He said he wasn't aware of any. This has bothered me for years. Several years ago in Idaho my husband, two older children and I had seen very bright, small star like things (two of them) that seemed to be out of this atmosphere darting to and fro, one minute in one spot then all of a sudden in an other spot so fast your human eye lost track of them for a moment. We saw another just like the two only it was only one in California. I don't remember dates or time of year on either The Idaho event or California event.
