Description: My Mom and daughter reported seeing a UFO in Acworth, GA July 4, 2012. They reported seeing 3 objects moving at a slow pace and then the objects appeared to shoot up in the sky and disappear. They took a photo.
Note: It is difficult to tell from the photo what represents the unknown objects. The largest light could be a street light or a reflection.

I believe there were three UFO lights. I am not sure if they individual UFOs or part of one. My family saw them the night before while at Wrightsville Beach in NC. This is the closest location with the same description and only a day later.
I posted a comment that explained these objects as well in Portland Oregon July 16th of 2012, but I couldn’t find the comments I had made when I re-entered this site. It’s crazy that you have encountered something so similar. I got pictures of it and when I zoomed in, it was in the shape of a saucer or disk. It almost floated up like a flare, but was moving way too quick to be something of that sort. I saw two of them at two separated times. The first one descended into the sky, the second one did the same, but it took the color and shape of a star and was moving way faster than anything I have ever seen in my life.
