Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Very bright lights - of a magnitud similar to Venus. (It's been a long time, I can not say for sure.) They were of different colors, and very beautiful to watch.

Full Description & Details

I was on my way home from Kristanstad's Airport. As I turn south on the highway, a few hundred meters east of the airport I notice a group of very bright and colorful lights in the far distance. (As I can tell from a map, the road's direction is slightly east of 180 degrees, more like 170, and the lights were almost straight ahead, just slightly to the left/east of me.)

I could observe these lights almost without interruption for at least 5 minutes, when I drove into the village of Degeberga, and into a very hilly area with quite a lot of forrest.

To me, they were motionless during this time. But the colours were very bright and as I recall them yellow/gold, red, blue and white. The formation was not symmetrical, but streched upwards. The lowest of the lights was so high above the horizon that I felt I saw the whole formation. As I recall it, maybe four fingers, with my arm extended. Not less. I remember I felt they resembled the Pleiadies.

When I came home, 20 minutes later, I called ATC Sturup/Malmoe to ask them what I had seen. The controller said that he hadn't seen anything, which I even then found remarkable, but he suggested that they might be flares over a Navy excersice in the southern Baltic. I was not satisfied, since the lights hovered motionless for so long, and from my distance must have been more than 5000 meters up in the air, if they came from the Polish coast.

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

No, I used to be an avid amateur astronomer, and still explore the night sky every opportunity I get. And the incident is so well documented by now.

Witness Background

I'm a self employed media professional. I have a very big interest, but a fairly open sceptisism, in unnormal phenomena. I also know quite a lot about astronomy and used to be extremely fascinated by the Apollo programme.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

This is the second of my three UFO sightings -- all of them from a very long distance. I stumbled across some German photos of the incident today, after researching The Disclosure Project. I am, at this point, fairly certain that UFO's exist.

Other Comments

My reason for posting this, so late, is the varying numbers and locations of the reported witnesses. It seems like I am one of the northern most -- so it might be of interest regardig altitude, luminosity and size of the lights.
