Shape: Light

Several Small lights at Different intervals

At around 8:15 PM, I went outside to smoke a cigarette. I usually scan the skies at night out of habit. I turned around to face south as my front door to my house faces north. I noticed a light traveling north East. It was a steady glow that at first sight appeared like a star. I paused to focus better to make sure I was not looking at a plane since LAX is in the same direction, South. I ran inside to grab my camera. When I returned I lost sight of where it went.

About five minutes went by and I spotted it again. This time it was traveling North West. Same speed but very high up. I ran inside to call my 2 kids and my wife. Again, I returned to lose it again in the night sky. I asked my kids to stay with me as we scanned the sky. We then spotted it again but this time it was traveling due east. In the distance we followed it closely as to not lose it. It kept its course east and disappeared. We then looked straight up and saw the same kind of light traveling due north east. This light disappeared the same way as the one traveling due east. We spotted what seemed to be 3-4 or these lights at different times. Maybe 20 -30 seconds apart. When each one disappeared a new light would appear. This went on for a good ten minutes. My kids witnessed this strange light that really appeared to be a star.
