My wife and I were sitting on our hotel balcony at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on the night of September 2, 2008. At 10:20 PM we saw a single large round orange gold light appear in the sky and then disappear. We saw another single large round orange gold light appear and disappear, then another single large round orange gold light appear and disappear. All three of the lights appeared next to each other in a straight line and each one stayed in the sky for about 10 seconds. There was no sound.
At 10:25 on this same night, we saw nine large round orange gold lights appear in the sky, all at the same time in three separate triangles, just as an airliner was ascending into the sky across the ocean from the Myrtle Beach airport. These nine lights stayed in the sky for about 10 seconds. What an awesome sight! There was no sound.
A few minutes later, I saw a police officer drive his vehicle onto the beach just below our hotel. I decided to go and tell the police officer what we had just seen. I approached the police officer and asked him if he was here because of the orange gold lights in the sky and he said yes. He told me that the police department had received a large number of phone calls from people who had seen what we had seen. The police officer told me that the Myrtle Beach police department has received phone calls all summer from people who have seen these orange gold lights. The police officer said that the police department had contacted the Coast Guard and the Air Force to see if they knew anything and they both said that they did not know anything.
The next evening, September 3, 2008, we were sitting on the balcony hoping to see the orange gold lights again. At 10:09 PM, three large round orange gold lights appeared in the sky one at a time, for about ten seconds each, in a straight line, just like they had appeared the night before. There was no sound.
We came on this beach trip actually hoping to see these orange gold lights, because we had seen them on our beach trip in May 2008. On May 1, 2008 we were sitting on our hotel balcony (same hotel as this trip), and at 8:40 PM we saw six orange gold lights appear in the sky, in two triangles. These lights stayed in the sky for about 10 seconds and there was no sound.
Seeing these lights is very exciting and amazing! It was a very awesome experience, especially to have seen these lights on three separate nights.
My wife, my son and I have been seeing these amber colored lights over north myrtle beach for over a year. There is a noise (a low turbine type sound) before the light display on every occasion. I don't know what they are, but I do know that I'll see them several times per week around 7:30 to 10:30 pm. It may well be a "beam me up, scotty" kind of thing.
I searched "myrtle beach ufo sightings" tonight because of a sighting my girlfriend and i had in june of 2007 at an ocean-front hotel in myrtle beach. we saw the same exact type of thing from our balcony around 11pm that night. a line of round, golden lights in the sky that went on and off a few times and remained motionless. we were pretty freaked out to say the least.
I saw em' with my brother, John. But I saw them way up closer just outside of Las Vegas, bout 15 years ago. They came within 100 feet of us, and seemed to "harass" us for a few minutes. They scared me so bad I hid under a mattress in my motor home. They are there, but seemingly harmless...at least as yet.
i too seen those lights in the sky i stayed at north mytlebeach around sept7 to the 14th but only saw them 1 night lasted for about 30 mins me and my whole family saw them mostly 1 at a time but did see 2 light at same time we have it on are camrecorder orange lights very weird i thought too.
I saw these same lights on Sept 2 at the same hour from my 11th floor hotel balcony at Carowinds in North Myrtle Beach. I left a comment a few hour ago and have since been googling around to figure out what it could have been that I saw. I forgot to mention in the previous post that I watched the lights with my binoculars for at least 3 or 4 minutes and then they disappeared and came back again a few minutes later.
I am 51 year with a law degree, and I tell you directly that the lights were absolutely NOT any sort of balloon, flare, meteor, military plane on maneuver, lightning, planet, distant boat on the sea, lanterns drifting in bags, birds or anything else I have ever seen in my life. I have never believed in UFO´s and I still don´t believe in them, HOWEVER, I did see something that night that I cannot explain.
I imagine they are some sort of an amazing hoax to captivate and attract tourists to Myrtle Beach, but I have no clue how such a hoax could be accomplished (could they be super-advanced hologram projections???) I have been reading that these lights have been seen on many different dates around 10pm at night, so I suspect either an amazing tourist hoax (why would the military or aliens choose to perform complex maneuvers repeatedly in front of Myrtle Beach) or perhaps a very incredible natural phenomenon that has never been documented or explained by scientists even though many tourists have seen it over many years, always around 10 or 11 at night!)
Although the videos of the lights that I saw on YouTube are shaky from the people trying to zoom in on them, they are definitely untouched and real. The lights were much more spectacular in person, but at least the amateur videos capture a small bit of the phenomenon. Well, that was my two cents worth. It was amazing and I suppose that, for the first time in my life, I am entirely baffled, and without an explanation for what I saw. Maybe E.T. is here and the stock market collapse is just part of their first wave of attack! I always suspected Bush and crew of being at least partially alien!

My brother and I were sitting on the balcony at the Carowinds Hotel on the 11th floor and we saw those lights. I remember them being almost exactly as the writer describes them. I tried to think that they were glowing lights mounted on hot air ballons or helicopters, but I decided that it was impossible for ballons or helicopters to move in the way the lights were moving. The movements appeared random, from stopped to fast, back and forth, etc. sort of like just "joy riding" in the night sky. I saw the lights fading in and out for over a minute. Then they disappeared, then I saw them again a few minutes later. They made absolutely no noise and seemed to be 3 or 4 independent "UFOS". Well, it was weird enough to make me have a vivid dream about "invading UFOs" last night (a month after i saw them). I confess that do not believe in UFO's. And I still don't believe. It must have been something manmade. Maybe someone playing a hoax on the tourists, but I admit it is an AMAZING hoax! And I can't figure out how they are doing it. Maybe someone caught some birds and attached lights to them and then controlled the lights from a hotel balcony somewhere. Or maybe we ARE being invaded like in my dream last night! Wow. Whatever it was, it was amazing. If anyone figures out what those lights were, please let me know! I am baffled!

We saw these same lights from the deck of the house we rented in August followed by a large amount of twinkleing lights that lined up in formation then moved down the beach. It was amazing!
