I was at Brownwood state park near Brownwood Texas on the evening of November 9, 2009. Around 8:00 PM I observed 10 to 15 very bright lights suddenly lighting up very high in the sky.

The lights stayed lit for several seconds before fading out. They were slightly amber in color. They exhibited no signs of being a rocket-mounted or of having been launched or dropped. And they were extremely stable. A few lit up at the same time.

Shortly after seeing the lights two fighter jets circled the area 15 to 20 times then headed East.
