Light over Cayucos, CA

The report, as filed

I was sitting at the pier on the beach having a bonfire. There was a group of 6 of us, the 2 of us that were sitting at the fire both saw the same thing at the same moment. The light of the fire drowned out any other stars and the clarity of the night sky. All of the sudden it looked like a shooting star but there was 4 perfectly aligned lights spaced all evenly, and they were bright, but perfect bright sphere lights unlike anything I have ever seen. These lights were significantly brighter than any star in the sky that night by a huge margin. The line of lights was above the horizon line of the Pacific Ocean and shot across a small portion of the sky and disappeared in mid air within a matter of a split second. We both looked at each other in disbelief of what we had just witnessed.
