Size of Object(s)relative size: about 1.5 inches wide by 2.2 inches long. actual size: my guess compared to airplnes would be larger than a jetliner Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeI am quessing that it was higher than a normal jetliner would pass over Description of Area / Surroundingsbeach, nothing we could see except ocean where the object first appeared Full Description & DetailsJuly 13, 2006 around 10:15pm. Present were myself, my wife, our two children, a middle school teacher and her two children plus several other children from our ball team. Out over the ocean about halfway up to looking straight up we noticed two or three round yellowish/orange lights—much, much larger than the surrounding stars, very close looking, very round and visible with no glare, the one on the far right went out and another one appeared on the left. They disappeared and then reappeared as a cluster of maybe five or six a little bit smaller than the first. Then went out again. We kept watching and noticed another couple had joined our watch although we did not approach them. There were lots of kids and people on the beach but most everyone was walking or playing and it was very dark. The yellow lights did not reappear but after several minutes our teacher friend noticed small lights on the horizon. There must have been about ten across the horizon but not perfectly even with each other. They were the same size as the stars, looked a distance out above the ocean, if they were stationary they would have blended right into the night sky. The ones on the right were moving toward the ones on the left very slowly. They met and made a cluster. Very slowly they moved together across the sky across us. No noise was present. The lights made a triangle shape, the front was possibly squared off. As it passed, I noticed the middle of the lights was a solid because it blocked out the stars. The color or shadow was the same as the night sky so I saw no details. It disappeared at the same speed in the distance. About the time it was gone a small plane flew along the beach. We thought it was going to follow the UFO but it kept along the shoreline. We could hear the motor on the small plane. No sound had come from the UFO. Also, anyone glancing up quickly would probably not have noticed the object because the lights blended with the stars. It looked quite a ways off but was larger than the small plane that passed. The only way it stood out from the night sky was it's movement.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Not natural at all. Never seen anything man-made like it. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI was skeptical but now I am open minded. Other CommentsWould love to find out what it was....wish I had had my camcorder.
