Duration: 15-20 min.
No of observers: 2

Location: Lakewood, CO, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

Small, circular objects floating in a chevron pattern (12 formations total) in a NNE direction over the Lakewood, CO area.

I witnessed the first shape flying in NNE direction. It appeared to be approx. 50 ball-shaped objects floating in a chevron pattern. They were about 500-800 ft. in the air and going at a rapid speed. I called my husband out to see it and within a minute, we saw another object, but sightly shorter follow the same path. Over a period, we witnessed a total of twelve in all. The objects appeared to be lit, but it is unclear whether they were just reflecting the light fron the ground. They all followed the same flight path and never moved out of the chevron shape although a few would lag back for a second or two. There usually about 30-40 balls per string.
