Location: Palm Springs, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Triangular formation of lights moving very slowly southwards

Saturday AM 2:30 -3:00 July 24th 1999. Palm Springs, Grenfell Avenue. Flying South. Got back to our appartment looking at a meteorite shower in the southern sky. A Triangular shaped object moved slowly from North to South. At first we presumed it was flying high because of the silence, but that would have made the size of the object huge. We agreed that it was flying a few thousand feet up MAX. The underside lighting was very, very subtle not at all what I would imagine. They were rectangular, very dim ,orange, arranged in pairs in a triangular formation, if we had not been looking for meteorites we would not have noticed it. We watched it for about 10 seconds before it turned very slowly in an Eastern direction and dissapeared. It must have passed over Palm Springs Airport...did anybody else witness this?
