Date of Sighting: July 2, 2009
Time of Sighting: 10 PM MDT
Location of Sighting: About 7 Miles West-Northwest of Longmont, Colorado

Description: I was at my property west of Longmont near St. Vrain and 49th out in my field with 4 other people. I looked over and saw 5 bright lights similar to flares hanging in the sky to the east approximately 3 miles away in what appeared to be a formation of sorts. I believe they were over the Longmont Airport. They appeared motionless for a few moments then one light moved to the south then they all started to move independently. Then as if they were on a string they followed one another making a swirling circle, down then up then down to the ground below my horizon. As they swirled they formed tails similar to a firework or meteor.

Everyone in my group saw them. At first we all thought they were fireworks, but afterwords we didn't know what to think of them. I have never seen any thing like them.

Note: This is the third sighting of similar lights from the Longmont area on July 2. The descriptions are all similar. It doesn't sound like that the lights were fireworks.
