One light over ocean became brighter as time passed. One object became 2, 2 became 4, etc. Then one would flash out and disappear, but there were 10 to 20 still visible until all just flashed out and disappeared. They seem to have an electric discharge from one to another and at some point looked like they were dropping 'angel hair'. I would be interested in hearing of more reports, since there were a number of people on the beach observing that evening and night. I was only about 12 years old at the time, but we reported the sighting to the local police and were told that they had had severeal reports already. Date is approximate;could have been summer of 1966, but police should have records if they haven't been destroyed or discarded.
