No of observers: 1

Location: Reno, NV, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Tonight, I witnessed a formation of 2 silent craft flying from 110 degrees east to 215 degrees southwest. These craft flew in a level direct formation not changing in altitude. My guess was approx 15K feet in elevation. This event was from horizon to horizon. Strangely these craft going east to southeast cut straight across the landing path of an approaching airliner heading into RNO .

One lead craft and the following craft appeared to be following from the rear in the 8 oclock position. As I mentioned they were silent.

Both craft had only red slowly strobing lights. They lights blinked in an alternating sequence. The front craft first then the rear craft. This pattern repeated constantly from the beginning to the end of the event. The lights appreared to be on the tips of wings if it had wings. Not on top just on the ends. No green or white lights were seen. No sound of prop or jet propulsion. The skies were dark and the weather is broken clouds..55 degrees and 41% humidity.
