Bright Lights in Lewisville, Texas-Peter, at your request, I am entering an expanded, more detailed account of what I saw on Saturday night near Dallas. 

Lewisville is a city north of Dallas, about 10 miles from North Dallas. 

I was out shopping that night with a friend and my son, and we got home around 6: 15 or so. I put down all my suitcases and went out to the patio. There I saw my neighbor Rich on the patio. He was looking up at the sky, which is not unusual for any of us. He asked me to look at what he saw. I looked through the gap between the tree and the house next to my apartment building. There is a distance of 4 feet (1.2 m) or so between them. I looked toward what appeared to be the northwestern horizon. 

Balls of light rose into the air. I first asked if they were balloons, Rich explained that he had been watching them for a while and didn't think they were acting like a balloon. 

I continued to watch them as more and more appeared in my field of vision. In total, there will be from 9 to 15 such individual balls of light in the group. This group would move up to the stars, but always remain built. I've never seen formations before. It seemed that there was always a "lead" ball of light behind it, and then two or three in the pattern. Then the other 6 or so will be in a semicircle behind the leading balls (weird!). 

As I became more and more curious about what we were seeing, I began to realize that it couldn't have been balloons, as they were going a long distance into the sky. Once they were high enough to see them, you had to tilt your head back, it looked like a moving constellation. It would be like watching the Big Dipper move across the sky. At the time, Rich and I were very interested in what was going on. 

I called my friend Jennifer, and she went out to her patio. At this time, my son Jake came outside to see what was going on. We all stood there and watched the other group take off into space. This group acted in the same way as the first one. Then the third group. As for the third group, my son noticed that the "lead" light was stopping, or seemed to stop, and waited for the others to catch up. 

At one point, there were two small light balls that my son seemed to be "playing tokens" with. One was in front of the other, and the front zigzag from left to right, and the one behind it "chased" it. Very interesting to see. For the fourth batch, we had two pairs of binoculars (Rich and I), and we couldn't get a clearer picture of them. It was as if they were either too far away to be seen even with magnification, or they were so bright that they seemed distorted when I tried to see them. 

During the ascent of the second group, Jennifer noticed a very strange, very thick and extremely white fog (for lack of a better word) on the horizon. She showed it to us, we all saw it and watched it rise, but it rises without being touched. Unlike the smoke from the fire from the building, it seemed to remain as white and as thick as it was when it was lower above the horizon. This show lasted approximately one hour. 

I will never forget how these objects seemed to have a purpose, a direction. They almost seemed to communicate by knowing where to go and how to take their place in the "queue" (although they never moved in a straight line). For me, the best way to describe them is by moving constellations. 

Very bright, very large (although there were smaller ones), very organized objects in "flight". When asked how large they appear compared to the star, I believe that the brightest star in the sky that night was half the size of the objects passing by it. It was the most amazing and curious thing I've ever seen, and I hope one day to find out what it could have been. 

27.11.2004 at about 16: 30, I was returning home with my friends from Christmas shopping. I live on the third floor of an apartment building in Lewisville, Texas (North Dallas). When I reached the top of the stairs, something caught my attention in the sky. I turned around and saw about 8-10 objects on the northern horizon moving up and to the east. To the northwest of these lights, a low-hanging one, strange as smoke, was moving in the same direction as the lights. I stared at the lights for about 30 seconds, thinking they were balloons. Then I went into my house. 

Immediately after entering the house, I got a call from a friend who lives on the second floor of my house, and immediately go out to the patio. By this time, her son was on the patio, as was my neighbor, who lives right below me. We started observing these 10-12 such objects in the sky. 

My friends looked at them through binoculars, and we quickly decided that they were not balloons, but some kind of light. They seemed to be taking off from somewhere on the horizon and moving up and to the right. We watched this set of lights until they were out of sight. This went on for about an hour. 

I'd say we've only seen 4 sets of these lights. We were so startled by the lights and the strange fog on the horizon that we couldn't take any pictures. Living near DFW Airport, we are used to seeing a lot of planes. Last night we didn't see any planes, we were even joking, because we saw planes flying in different parts of the sky. At one point, the 2 lights were almost playing with each other, twitching back and forth as if they were playing a tug of war.

Summary: Bright lights in Lewisville, TX – Peter, at your request I am entering an extended, more detailed report of what I saw on Saturday night near Dallas. Lewisville is a city just north of Dallas, maybe 10 miles from North Dallas. I had been shopping that evening with a friend and my son, we got home around 6:15 or so. I put all my bags down and went out to the patio. There, I saw my neighbor, Rich, outside on his patio. He was looking into the sky, nothing unusual for any of us. He asked me to look at what he was seeing. I looked through a break between the tree and the building next to my apartment building. There is a 4 foot, or so, space between them. I looked in the direction of what seemed to be the north-western horizon. There were balls of light going up into the air. At first I asked if they were balloons, Rich explained that he had been watching them for a while and didn’t think they acted much like a balloon. I continued to watch them, as I watched more and more would come up into my line of vision. Altogether, there would be anywhere from 9 to 15 of these individual balls of light in a group. This group would move upward towards the stars, but always staying in formation. The formations were nothing I have ever seen before. There seemed to always be a “lead” ball of light, then two or three in a pattern behind it. Then the other 6 or so would be in a half circle behind the lead balls. (weird!). As I became increasingly curious about what we were seeing, I began to realize that they couldn’t have been balloons as they went a great distance into the sky. Once they got up high enough to where you had to bend your head backwards to see them, it resembled a moving constellation. It would be like watching the Big Dipper move across the sky. At that point, Rich and I were very interested in what was happening. I called a friend of mine, Jennifer, and she came out to her patio. At this time, my son Jake came outside to see what the fuss was about. We all stood there and watched another group go up into space. This group acted the same way as the first. Then, a third group. With the third group, my son noticed that the “lead” light would stop, or appear to stop, and wait for the others to catch up. At one point, there were two smaller balls of light that seemed to be “playing tag” as my son describes it. One was in front of the other and the front one would zig zag from left to right and the one behind it would “chase” it. Very interesting to see. On the fourth batch, we had two pairs of binoculars out (myself and Rich) and we couldn’t get a much clearer view of them. Almost like they were either too far away to actually see, even with magnification, or they were so bright that it seemed distorted when I tried to see them. During the second group rising, Jennifer noticed a very odd, very thick and extremely white fog (for lack of a better word) on the horizon. She pointed it out to us, we all saw it and watched as it rose, but it rose staying intact. Unlike a building fire smoke, this seemed to stay just as white and just as thick as it was when it was lower on the horizon. This display lasted approximately one hour. I will never forget the way that these objects seemed to have a purpose, a direction. They seemed to almost communicate in that they all knew where to go and how to take their place in “line” (although they never traveled in a straight line). The best way to describe them, for me, was moving constellations. Very bright, very large (although there were smaller ones as well), very organized objects in “flight”. When asked how big they seemed to be in relation to a star, my feeling is that the brightest star in the sky that night, was half the size of the objects passing by it. This was the most awesome, curious thing I have ever seen and I hope to one day find out what it could have been. Please let me know if you have any information. Thank you.; On 11/27/2004 around 16:30 I was arriving home from Christmas shopping with friends. I live on the third floor of an apartment building in Lewisville Texas (North Dallas). When I reached the top of the stairs something caught my eye in the sky. I turned and saw about 8-10 objects in the Northern horizon moving up and to the east. Just to the Northwest of these lights was a low hanging strange like smoke that moved in the same direction of the lights. I watched lights for about 30 seconds, thinking they where balloons. Then I went into my house. Immediately upon entering my house I received a telephone call from a friend of mine that lives on the second floor of my building, come outside on the patio immediately. By this time, her son was on the patio as well as my neighbor that lives directly below me. We began to watch these 10-12 of these objects in the sky. My friends looked at them with binoculars and we quickly decided that they where not balloons but some type of light. They seemed to launch from somewhere on the horizon and move up and to the right. We watched this set of lights until they we could no longer see them anymore. This went on for about an hour. I would say we saw a total of 4 sets of these lights. We where so amazed with the lights and the strange looking fog on the horizon that we failed to take any pictures. Living near DFW airport we are use to seeing lots of airplanes. We did not see airplanes last night, we even joked because we saw airplanes flying in different points in the sky. At one point 2 of the lights almost played with each other by jerking back and forth, like they where playing tug of war.
