Several V-Shaped Formations of Amber glowing craft float across the night sky

My wife and I woke up shortly before 5:00 AM because for some reason we both could not sleep. I opened the balcony window and looked into the clear night's sky. Within seconds I noticed an amber glowing flying formation floating across the sky heading north west, towards the Direction of the Stanford University Dish.

I immediately called for my wife who watched with me as this formations shape changed ever so slightly from a v-shaped into a straight line, and back into a v shaped formation. The formation was made of several "dots", they could have all been part of 1 craft or perhaps they were each an individual craft.

I immediately ran for my Sony Digital Night Shot video camera and ran outside in the freezing night and attempted to catch the craft on video. My wife followed as we watched several more formations "float" across the sky. Each formation was made up several "dots" and all had a white/amber glow and resemble flocks of flying geese.

There was no noise, and each formation was visible for aproximately 10-15 seconds before going out of view. Each formation seemed to be followed by a smaller formation right behind it.

I attempted to film and am reviewing the footage now to see if the camera picked up the faint images.

My wife and I have had several sightings of these "formations" since November 18, 2001 when we witnessed dozens of the same types of craft fly overhead. Our most recent sighting was this past september of a pulsating Triangle which changed shape and size 3 times.

Moffett Field / NASA Aames Research Center is aproximately 10 Miles south of our location, and we are only a few miles away from the Stanford University Dish.

They always seem to fly in the same direction. This wave lasted till aproximately 5:30AM.

FYI: We noticed a couple of shooting stars, most likely from the meteor shower.

We also find it interesting that these formations appear during Meteor Showers.

I would like to encourage investigators to look into the November 18, 2001 Mass "Boomerang Shaped" Sightings that occured during the Leonid Meteor Showers, and which my wife and I continue to see fly directly over our house. I have no doubt they will appear again, we seem to be in thier "flight path". They always fly in the same direction every time we see them, and it's been several times since 2001.
