4 Red Lights over La Mesa/El Cajon

I generally don’t post things, but this I just had to.

On July 4th 2009, at about 8:50 PM, I looked to the SE part of the sky. We live in north La Mesa and can see the cross from Mount Helix from our back yard. The lights looked to be just east of there.

We have had other “sightings” before (3 years in a row except for last year), so this would be our 4th year. With the naked eye they look like red lights. They generally seemed to appear right as the fireworks started. But this time as I looked up, I saw 4 red lights in a large triangular pattern and yelled to my husband “They are here now!” I grabbed my camera (with tripod) and got some unique photos. With magnification, the red dots appear to look like some sort of worm like shape. And they moved faster than the shutter. Then 2 of the lights just “faded out”. I took as many as I could.

By 9:10: they were all gone.
