Details of Incident:
Five streaks of light that were too bright and too constant to be meteorites and too fast for a
satellite or aircraft.
I saw a series of light streaks similar to a meteorite but of constant duration and
substantially more intense in brightness and their speed was slower than a typical meteorite. I
saw five bursts of light in total running approximately north to south. The duration of the
sighting is not exactly known, but I'm guessing that the whole series lasted less than 60
seconds. The spacing between the flashes covered approximately 10 degrees of sky (one fist
width = 10 degrees)the flashes approximately 10 degrees. The first four bursts of light were in
a straight line. When I saw the second one I thought that something was "bouncing" in and out
of the atmosphere. I dismissed this idea when I realized that their intensity was constant. I
would have come away from the experience and probably soon forgotten it except that the fifth
flash of light appeared at a angle of about 45 degrees from the path of the first four heading
in a southwesterly direction. The wind was calm, skies were clear, seeing was about 6. If this
was some sort of conventional aircraft I would like to know about it.
