>Time: Between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., last night.

>Category: High strangeness phenomena; multiple witness event.

Dear "MC"

You gave the time of day,  but said "last night" for the date.

Since your original message is dated 05 July 1999, may we
presume that these events took place at  2000 to 2100 hours PDT,
on the Fourth of July 1999?

If so,  I suggest that the ships/boats offshore were indeed
firing things into the sky, and that swamp gas and temperature
inversions had nothing to do with it.

Such festivities were sadly called off on my corner of San
Francisco Bay due to fire hazards etc. this year.

Best wishes
