Full Description & Details
On September 21, I was coming home from school, at about 9:30 pm on road 27 going North towards Lake Placid when first I saw a light that came in (east of the road) stayed for a few seconds static in the sky and then disappeared.
A few minutes later, I saw a second light, this time in front of me, exact same type of light.. bright yellow, in and then after 10 seconds or so, it disappeared. Didn't move neither.
I got home and probably at about 9:50 I left the house. Got on US27 again, North to downtown. I had to stop the car when I saw two lights coming in, very near to each other, more north from where I was, high in the sky. These were moving.. the only way I can describe them is as if fireflies were playing around. All of the sudden, a third and then a fourth one came in.. They moved around (did not transport anywhere, they were in the same place) for about 3 minutes and then disappeared, two first, then one and then the last one. I stayed there for a bit more to see if they came in again, but they didn't.
The next day, September 22, about same time (9:15pm).. I saw one light again.. I was again traveling on 27N towards Lake Placid, and it was on my left, towards the east. I kept going and then Two lights appeared together.. these, at one moment, looked like comets to me, because they started traveling (moving) and were leaving a "tail" of light. A few seconds later, they both disappeared.
That's all I saw.
While doing some research today, I found this.. this is also here in Florida.. one week I saw these lights. http://www.marconews.com/news/2010/sep/15/truth-out-there-southwest-florida-weighs-tuesday-n/
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
Not a satellite, not weather balloon, not an airplane for sure, not a bird, not a star (too bright and too big and too yellow), not the moon.
