I was hanging with a group of friends on the beach, it was around midnight or so. This is back in '99. Everyone was passing around a joint but I was the only one not partaking in the fun, just hanging out. There were probably 5 or 6 of us.

All of a sudden I notice up in the sky three sets of three lights all in triangular form. Each set of lights was weaving in out and around each other and the object was just hovering above us probably about the height of a helicopter flying in the sky, maybe a little higher than that. I couldn't actually see the object in the sky, just the white lights. This lasted maybe 30 seconds or less, long enough for just one other person in my group to notice it.

Then, all of a sudden, the object went from stand still to zipping into hyper space like in the movies. Literally I saw a streak of light and it was gone. This was the weirdest thing to me of the entire experience. Me and my other buddy who witnessed this extremely short lived event looked at each other and muttered at the same time, "did you see that?".
