Reported: 2015-05-03 20:07 Pacific
Duration: 3-5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Charlestown, WV, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Slowly moving Orange lights, no sound, 2x2 straight line formation.

While on my couch, I saw 2 orangish/red lights travel really slowly, from S/SW to N/NE. Figuring they were aircraft in a formation, I didn't think anything unusual. Just as these two passed out of the frame of my window, another 2 lights followed, spaced out the same.

Being a military aircraft enthusiast, I went on to my deck to see if I could see or hear what they were. There was absolutely no sound. Just the solid lights moving slowly off towards the distance. They were too low to be commercial aircraft, and I have seen military helicopters and private planes fly at this altitude, but there was no sound or flashing beacon light.

As they got farther away, they just "melted" into the starlit sky.
