Initial data
Bright red lights located at the same distance from each other. the lights first moved in a straight line up and to the east. Then the first light went out, and the other two continued on. They seemed to be dropping smaller fireballs from the bottom, going straight down. the fallen lights soon went out, about 5 seconds later.
The two continued on about halfway across the sky, climbing higher and higher. one light remained stationary for about 5 minutes and dropped several small fireballs, and they abruptly moved forward. a few moments later, the lights went out completely. the first one, which remained in position, slowly went out, as if burned out, gradually becoming weaker and weaker.
What should have been a medium light was still bright and strong and seemed very large in height, but still very bright. brighter than the light of an airplane or the brightest star in the night. The size of all three lanterns was much larger than the planes, as if you were looking at a very large bonfire in the distance. The lights falling from them were fainter in brightness, but you could clearly see the movement and the red glow. I would estimate that they were at least as high as a commercial plane in the sky. this was witnessed by my whole family when we were called to the street by my uncle, who had a smoke break.
Everyone could clearly see the movement, see the lights stop and stay in place, and see the light fall, other smaller lights fly out from under the bottom. the age was from 8 to 70 years. This place was in the backyard of my grandparents ' home in Antioch, California, facing north.
The lights were moving in a northeasterly direction. the entire event lasted from 15 to 20 minutes. The light was very bright and low, and as they dropped their loads, they grew fainter and brighter until they were completely extinguished.
