Formula to Record Consectutive "Hits"

[kkelso22]

Background: I have data collected at 1 Htz from an instrument that records magnetic anomolies. Normally, if it is a "true" hit the instrument will detect it for several seconds(several rows). Unfortunately there are some instances where the instrument has a hiccup and for just one second (one row) a false spike occurs.

What I need: I need a formula to detect the rows within a column that have consecutive hit values and disregard the rows with only a single "hit".

Does this make sense?

Thank you in advance!

Try posting a small sample of the data, along with the expected results, and someone will likely be able to help.

Thanks Domenic....

Here is a small sample of the data. You can see in the last column the consecutive hits in the first four rows, but the single hits that follow are false. What I would like is to have the data that are considered true hits to be highlighted in the next column. I hope this helps.
