No of observers: 2

Location: Bismarck, ND, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

5 white lights in formation

Rough date- Definately a Friday or Saturday night in October of 1996.

While overlooking the Missouri river from the north side of Bismarck in a stagard V formation, 5 lights (not sure if one object or 5 objects) were noticed in the north sky and completely crossed the sky in 6 seconds.

Other witness saw it first and say that it was redish for a split second but all 6 seconds I observed it they were white lights.

No trails behind lights and no sound. Amazingly fast but could never have been satellites or shooting star.

NUFORC Note:
