Occurred : 10/2/2016 00:45 (Entered as : 10/2/2016 00:45) Reported: 10/3/2016 3:22:16 PM 15:22 Posted: 10/11/2016 Location: Iowa City, IA Shape: Light Duration: 12 minutes Characteristics: There were lights on the object
A group of red lights flying across the sky, rising from the horizon one at a time,increasing in altitude and disappearing out of view. I saw a 2 red lights close together and a third not far behind. They were moving as a plane would move, about the same speed as a plane would move across the sky, but there were 3 together, and then another came, and another, and another. They seemed to rise from the horizon in a diagonal line, climbing in altitude until they disappeared. And they just kept coming from the horizon. That was what was so striking and unusual about it. There is a YouTube video from 12/25/2010 that describes EXACTLY the same event that I witnessed in 2016. There were many more red lights in the 12/25/2013 YouTube video than what I witnessed. But the event was exactly the same.
