Saw a streak of light vertical in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane crashing into the mountains.

Saw a streak of light vertical in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane crashing into the mountains. But, the "streak" wasn't as long as what usually follows a plane and it was much brighter. It was not moving fast, at first I thought it wasn't moving it all.

As I continued to watch, I noted that it was slowly descending until it finally went behind the mountain. Then I saw 2 more, both right above the mountains in the east like the first. They were not moving fast enough to be a plane and the streaks of light were very bright.

I watched them for about 15 minutes until all but one had disappeared behind the mountain and then I came to report it. I called a friend who could see it also and had never seen anything like it.
