Duration: 9 second
No of observers: 2

Location: Mt. Springs (Cooke County), TX, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Seven lights in a row 45 degrees above horizon in early night sky, disappeared one at a time.

I can not be sure of the exact time but it had turned dark as my daughter and I were walking along F.M. 922. We were walking west when something caused us to look north and up into the sky at approx 45 degrees above the horizon. There were seven lights equally spaced in a row parallel to the horizon. They were equally illuminated and approximately the color of stars but larger. They were stationary in the sky. They seemed to be further away than what an airliner would be but not like a distant planet or star. We watched then for 5 or 6 seconds then they disappeared one at a time from west to east. I believe it was the next morning on t.v. there were reports about lights the night before in Arizona and maybe New Mexico. My daughter and I have told many people about this but have never officially reported it.
