I have to disagree on the lantern theory...

A single light in the sky or multiple lights flying independently yes..

Five in a constant formation?? Not a chance..

Lanterns flicker and bounce around in the wind (whatever the wind speed)

4 clear video images from different angles and people..

Grow up. These are NOT Chinese lanterns

In NE Florida last night at dusk, directly above my yard just above the trees, a craft with blinking red lights , 8 of them, shaped like a V came out of nowhere. It was very clear and still light out, just at dusk and I was observing Venus in the SW and Sirius in the SE , moments before there was nothing in the sky .. I'm sure b/c I was amazed at how clear it was. Then suddenly this object was there right above me moving very slowly , i thought it was a plane at first but it was odd.. i couldn't SEE the body of it although it was right there about 20 ft above me and not quite dark , i couldn't see the sky or any stars through it either, so something was there but nothing I could make out.. it was like lights on a shadow. It was right there but all I could really 'see' were the red lights blinking in a V shape (like the video on page 1) I was stunned and frozen there but not really afraid , kind of in a daze .. no one was home (of course) to share this with .. it was moving sooo slowly , I kept trying to focus on it to see what it was , that's the odd part.. if it was a plane that close I could have seen the pilot or windows or something ! It went over my neighbors house and then just disappeared. There has never been a plane here that low or in that direction. Absolutely NOT lanterns it was moving & there was a whooshing sound although it didn't seem that the sound was actually with it.. very hard to explain.. thanks for listening !

What do you mean a "constant formation"? They are going to look like they're in a constant formation to you on the ground, no matter what. Thats why you can release 6 lanterns and it'll look like 2 triangles in the sky.
