At 11:11 on 9/6/2010 I was sitting in my back yard in San Francisco when I noticed 3 star like objects moving fast in line abreast formation at my 2 o’clock position moving SE to NW at an undetermined altitude. As they passed my 12 o’clock (directly above me) they started weaving in and out of each other – the port object moved to the middle and the center object passed to the port side then they both moved back again. The starboard object maintained position – the amazing thing was that the distances between the center and port side objects changed dramatically and looked to almost collide. Unfortunately I then lost sight of them behind a building. The total sighting was about 8 seconds. There was no sound. There were no navigation lights.

I hold a commercial pilot’s license and I’m convinced they were not aircraft. They were also moving very fast…faster than 250 knot’s required in a TCA – but they were not meteorites or shooting stars either. The formation flying was the thing that struck me most. Amazing.

Interested if anyone else saw them…I am pretty awestruck. Unfortunately, it happened too quickly to grab my video camera.
