Bright Orange Red Lights Over Long Beach California

Date: July 3, 2010
Time: 10:20 p.m.

Brian, Just a brief summary of what the people at my house, including myself saw tonight.

It was exactly as you describe, but there was more than one. I am located in Long Beach, California. The objects appeared quite a distance to the west of my house, heading north, at around 10:20pm, July 3, 2010. There was a bright orange/red object that appeared round in shape, but looked like a light glaring from the distance, in that it didn't have a definite shape. We didn't notice how the first appeared, but noticed it shortly after it appeared, judging by where the next two would then appear. It tracked from the south heading in a slow unsteady path north for about 20-25 seconds when the second object seemed to just appear where we had noticed the first object.

They seemed to be traveling the same course, at the same speed, keeping an exact distance between themselves. They proceeded on their course for approximately another 25-35 seconds when the first object faded into the darkness. It faded over a period of about 5 seconds. They second object kept following the path of the first for what seemed to be an equal length of time as the delay between their appearance. Then it too faded into the darkness at the same spot as the first.

Shortly after, perhaps 30-45 seconds later, a third object appeared. It was the same as the first two in appearance and appeared to be traveling at the same rate of speed. It seemed to just appear, as did the second. And seemed to follow the same slow and randomly indirect course, until it too faded into the darkness at the same destination. We continued to watch the sky for another couple of minutes, but did not see any other appearances. I then came in to check the internet for any similar sightings when I fell upon your reports of similar sighting today in Florida and Indiana.

Hope this helps.
