NUFORC Sighting 26570

Occurred: 1999-05-25 19:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2002-12-11 20:45 Pacific
Duration: 30 min
No of observers: 0

Location: Poulsbo, WA, USA

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object

Late at night, saw four or five lights about 200-300 ft in air, about 1inch (my scale) apart in a straight line (cigar?).

Saw show on ufo's on tv last night, saw same shape over Puget Sound as the phoenix formation.

I was driving back from a local mountain bike area and saw some lights in the sky. I thought that it was probably some of the local military boys on a night jump so I pulled over to watch. The formation was approximately 5 lights about one inch apart. They appeared to be several hundred feet in the air. The strange thing was that I saw no vapor trail from the flares I thought were burning. I watched about 30 minutes or so, but the lights never got closer or further from the ground (they appeared as if they were over the water). After about 30 minutes, I got bored and went home, never to think about it until I saw a show on tv last night about the lights that were seen over phoenix several years ago ( a cigar shape that was widely reported). What I saw resembled this same shape. May be a hoax. Wanted to find out if any other reports around this same time were investigated, if so what was it?
