NARRATIVE

These appeared one by one. Some got brighter.  Some dimmed and disappeared.  At peak, there were approx. 15 lights.  Seemed to be emitting some sort of pale trail between each other occasionally.  All the people on the beach were watching.  Finally, all lights had disappeared one by one after about 4 hours.  I was about 15 years old at the time and wanted to post this to see if any other people present that night could remember and corroborate this sighting.
Date is approximate.  PD
