I walked outside in the back yard and looked up and noticed a string of lights approximately 20 or more and they were white in color and in a straight formation. I'm not sure but I would say that they were approximately 40 feet or more in between each of them. I did not hear any noise from them and ran in to get my wife who also witnessed this. I grabbed my iPad and tried to record it but it was unsuccessful. Soon after the lights rose up and vanished out of sight.

I was standing in my backyard and when I turned around and looked up I saw two bright round lights hovering above me with no sound and they turned in unison and slowly went up. In around 4 more seconds, the ufo rapidly disappeared. I didn't have time to grab my phone/camera before it disappeared and was wondering if anyone else in Granite City seen it too.
