Bright lights that would be best described as "moving stars" appeared from 5 to 20 degrees above the horizon and would dim and go out, only to return again. At maximum, there were 3 at a time. It was difficult to tell how many craft there were, because they would disappear and reappear so we were unable to discern whether they were same craft or new craft. They hovered and moved slowly in the same area for approximately 45 minutes beginning at dusk. Several times, one of the lights would become very bright and flash brilliant colors in quick pulses, in a random rhythm (unlike the steady rhythm of flashing lights on a plane). At one point when one became very bright and flashed colors for a few minutes, it then dimmed slightly and split into two separate white lights that moved slowly in separate trajectories then each dimmed out, to the point of being completely extinguished. Once it became completely dark, the activity subsided to the point where ! there was only one light visible consistently, though it did dim, fully extinguish, and come back again. At one point we also observed a faint white orb that seemed to come out of one of the brighter lights, move away, and then dim to the point of being completely extinguished.

My sister and I witnessed a circular, red light zooming across the sky when we took the dog out, far faster than any commercial aircraft/drone we've seen before. It did a loop in the air, the light turned white, it did another loop and promptly moved away within seconds. There was only one craft. We didn't hear any noises like a plane or helicopter make (we get those quite frequently living near a police station and an airport)...it was eerily silent. It made us feel quite uneasy.

Bright round light in the Northern sky shortly after sunset. It was heading slightly downward and diagonally at a slow velocity; too slow to be a shooting star. It came to a stop and headed upwards maintaining that same slow speed. It then turned to the right and moved parallel to the ground and went behind some clouds. It emerged from the clouds and headed in the opposite direction. Eventually, it went behind more clouds and was not seen again.

My friend was driving tonight, he saw these lights ghat resembled the Phoenix lights, so he pulled out his phone and took this, both of us are currently working to become pilots so we found this pretty cool, i just figured id report it to see if anyone saw something similar. Video clip shows a group of moderately bright lights, moving against a dark sky. PD
