Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

15.12.1998 22:50

Location:

Зенфтенберг

Germany

I saw lights that rotate around the center on the way home (I didn't drink beer or other alcohol). There was a group of lights moving westward.

These lights rotate in a group around the center in one direction for almost 180 degrees, and then stop for half a second when turning back. This is repeated as the group slowly moves north. The formation has a round corner.

There were at least 9 lights in the group. They have a low intensity and almost circular shape with some structures. The turn cycle was very precise. This means that they very accurately turn, stop, and turn in the other direction. The sky was cloudy, and I meant they were above the clouds.

I have never seen such lanterns before, I am not a supporter of UFOs and was in the military service (short-range air defense) from 1989 to 1990. I don't know of any ship like this.
