San Carlos, CA

Driving north down lake Murray blvd I saw the first sighting of two orbs that were bright in the sky very close together, flying in sideway motions and straight up and down . The direction and speed was not of any normal craft. I lost sight as I drove, however I had to go back in that direction 15min after leaving the area. I was driving down the same road and searched the sky to see if they were still there. This time I not only saw two orbs again, only they were huge and bright! Like white bright beams. Very low from the sky this time and moving fast! I couldn't believe my eyes and my daughter witnessed this too. They were so low and so bright that I know we couldn't be the only witnesses. It actually freaked me out, too close for comfort! But then within seconds it's like they shrunk up and were tiny lights that disappeared into the sky.
