No of observers: 9

Location: Canon City, CO, USA

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

The objects appeared, disappeared then reappeared. The objects moved in a way that is very different than anything I have ever seen.

I was driving home and saw three bright orange/yellow lights in a row. They split and then disappeared. When I arrived at home I saw a triangular shape of lights in the sky to the east(flashing green, red and white) and called my family and next door neighbors out to see it.. We then saw multiple flashing lights to the east and north. the lights would appear in a triangular shape, flashing and then disappear, only to reappear in a few minutes. The lights moved in a way that is very different than any aircraft I have ever seen. There were a few times that many lights began to flash at once then they stopped, only to start again in a few minutes. My husband tried to video tape the incident but the lights were too far away to capture. This went on for quite some time. Did any anyone else in our area or close see this? I have never experienced anything like this in my life.. My husband and I have 5 children. My husband is a financial analyst and has a degree in Information Systems Management from CU, and I am a Cosmetologist/College student. One of my neghbors has a degree in both Horticulture and Communication, and the other has experience as a family advocate, and has vorked for United Way as a volunteer.
