Check out “bliss lights”. It is a decorative laser light that shines on houses, trees, especially around the holidays. I had one that we shined into our tree ravine in the summer. My neighbor thought there were firefly all over the trees.

I used to do stage lighting a long time ago. . . I know that such lighting needs a point source. These were nothing like that. We could see them flying AROUND the tree tops and then through the tree fronds, being occulted by the fronds, etc. They were the source of the lights themselves, not a reflection of a light source from some where else. Good thought though. I did think about the Meteors being a projection on some high clouds, but there weren't any high clouds to act as a screen; there were easily visible stars above the shooting meteors.

I'm just gonna live my life vicariously through you now.

You could do worse. . . we have a lot of fun driving her 2015 black Corvette Stingray. . .

Why, just last Wednesday we drove it from San Francisco back to Sacramento and we must have hit 2 mph in one 90 minute period that it took to go one mile!

Why it only took seven short hours to get home!

Some are LED and pretty common now. The light we purchased was an actual laser light, rather pricey and could only be ordered online. The manufacturer is Bliss Lights and the affect in trees, landscape is awesome. It makes tiny pinpoints of light everywhere in the radius, one color and stationery. Not just for holidays.

One of your neighbors has one of those Christmas laser projectors. The spillover was seen in the trees. They have become very popular and cheap.

‘Earthquake lights’ was what I thought of, when reading this.

There -have- been small earthquake swarms near the San Andreas fault recently...

Probably was a meteor shower. Check this reference, seems to be the same part of the sky for a point of origin ...

It could be demonic in nature.

Swamp gas. Nothing to be alarmed about. Expect a visit by two guys in dark suits with sunglasses - they just have a few routine questions to ask you.

Could be fireworks celebrating the 497th anniversary of Magellan reaching the Pacific. That’s my guess.

The tree lights - maybe St. Elmo’s Fire?

It was a Russian weather satellite and twenty mini-satellites that launched last evening and failed to attain orbit. They all fell back to earth and burned up in the atmosphere.

That same story with the trees lighting up was shown on some UFO tv show.
