         l ocat i on on the central/northern portion of -          Weather condition at the
         time was rainy with significant cloud cover. Approximately 30 minutes after
         passing through the                                              (approximately
         8 : 00pm- 8 : 30pm),                     saw two unidentif ied lights in the sky,
         pulled over to the side o f the r oad and ex ited the vehicle to investigate .
        -         described the lights as "dash" shaped and dul l red in color t o t he
         naked eye . The l ights moved along the ridgeline o f the mountains t o his
         west . -         was equipped with Night Opt ica l Devices (NODs) and observed the
         lights through said optics as well . -           relayed that, despite being "dash­
         shaped" to the naked eye, the lights appeared "orb- like " or circular t h r ough
         the NODs, with the characteristic "NOD halo " around them, which is typical
         when l ooking at a l i ght source through NODs . -          stated that he is very
         fami liar with using NODs, as he has been using them for 25+ yea rs and has
         many hou rs of experience . -        stated that he has astigmatism and while the
         objects appeared "dash- shaped" t o h im,                stated they appeared
         tr iangular or diamond - shaped, which could possibly be attributed t o -
         astigmatism .

        Afte r approximately 20 minutes, both of the aforementioned unidentif ied
        lights disappeared . Shortly thereafter -     observed , another, similar
