Appearance / Description of Object(s)

They were shaped like stars, small circular dots. They were flickering and varied in colors of red, orange, and gold. Some red ones were very strong saturated red shades. They were very bright and all of them were visible until they reached the clouds.

Size of Object(s)

To our eyes they were very small dots, maybe one inch with my fingers out. I have no idea what the actual size is because it could have been thousands of miles in the sky.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

maybe 2,000 to 50,000 feet up. It could have even been in space, not sure

Description of Area / Surroundings

It is in a small town, not a lot of other lights around. It seemed to be coming from a rural place. Nowhere near a power plant or military base.

Full Description & Details

The lights made no noise. They were about the size of a star to our eyes. The varied in color but mostly shades of gold and red. They flickered slowly, not like a plane would but more like a planet does to our eyes. They were small and moved very slowly in a very slight curved line. They seemed to be coming from one point off in the horizon. From the horizon to where they disappeared in the clouds, there were usually about 5 or 6 of them in sight. Some moved to close together to be planes. They seemed to be pretty far up in the sky.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

They could not have been man made because all of the lights were individual but some too close together to be man made because they would have collided. It is also unlikely that they were natural objects because they moved at a very slow pace, too slow for meteors, planets, shooting stars.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've read about them before and know of some different sightings. These ones were nothing like i've ever read about.

Editors note: This sighting appears to be, possibly, a sighting of chinese lanterns, which have candles inside of them and are filled with hot air. The move slowly through the sky, and several or many of them together.
