Red Lights Spotted In The Sky Over Orange County California

Date:  January 5, 2013
Time:  Approx: 5:30 p.m.

Hello, this is in response to the previous letter regarding red lights over Merced Co., Ca. My husband and I also witnessed the same type of phenomena this evening at approximately the same time, 5:30 p.m. PST. Except we live a couple of hundred miles south of Merced County and the night sky is clear. 

What we witnessed were several lights, I'd say a dozen or so and at one point many in the formation of what I could only describe as the Big Dipper. 

My husband had just left the house to run an errand when he sped back into the driveway and started to yell my name, exclaiming I needed to come outside.  He pointed up at the night sky and I thought I was looking at a constellation, the formation was that perfect. 

But then it registered that, A. These lights were too close, B.  They were a solid red in color, and C. They were ascending until they disappeared.

We thought, perhaps flares? No. They were too high up in the sky and, we would think, not able to hover to form any sort of shape. Then we thought perhaps it was a large group of helicopters or planes, but there were no strobe or flashing lights, just solid red. 

The lights never came any closer and remained the same shape until disappearing into the heavens. 

The last light disappeared probably close to 6:00 PST.

After reading the post from Merced, I'm a little unnerved that the same lights can be witnessed from groups of people hundreds of miles away from each other.  We're curious to find out if anyone else was a witness, and obviously, if there is any explanation.
