NARRATIVE

nearly straight north I noticed really bright light, like the sun behind a cloud then I realized the sun had already been down a while and this was in the northern sky toward Glendive, Mt. 
I was looking at this for a few minutes and then the light started to move out from behind the cloud and as it headed east it accelerated to a very high rate of speed and split off into six separate smaller bright orange lights.
This was 22 years ago but I will never forget this.
Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate.  PD
