Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

01.12.2009 16:00

Location:

Кактовик, AK

United States

I saw 3 bright lights on the horizon, which I thought was an evening flight (there are only two flights to our village a day), so I went to the airport to meet him. However, the flight has already left.

I found my 3 lights low on the western horizon, and they moved with each other, rose and fell, then went out again and again. Then they were joined by two more groups of three lights, evenly spaced on either side, but a few miles away, who also danced around.

I watched them for about half an hour before I returned to my office (they were still there when I left). The color of the lanterns changed from yellow to red, then from white to orange.

They will disappear and come back. As mentioned above, this is a remote village, where only two planes arrive per day. There are no other planes over our village (we are on the shore of the Arctic Ocean).

Summary: I saw 3 bright lights on the horizon that I thought was the evening flight (there are only two flights a day to our village), so I went out to the airport to meet it. However, the flight had already left. I found my 3 lights low on the western horizon, and they would move among each other, go up and down, and fade out and back in again. Then they were joined by two more sets of three lights, evenly spaced on either side but several miles out who also danced around similarly. I watched them for approximately 1/2 hour before I returned to my office (they were still there when I left). The lights changed from yellow to red to white to orange. They would fade out and return. As mentioned above, this is a remote village with only two airplanes that come a day. There are no other planes that go over our village (we are on the shore of the Arctic ocean).
