Number Witnesses: Two

Description (In Witness's Own Words): OK, continuing the story of the lights. I hung up the phone, put out cigarette and laid down on my really comfy lounger that I always kept facing East. I just got settled when.. shooting up in the East were 4 Very Bright Lights (see top drawing above). My first thought was "Blue Angels?" which doesn't make sense but the speed they were moving fit. They were heading straight towards the open space above me. (on the south side of me, trees 120ft high, the north side, our 2 story house) I watched them approaching and as they did they slowed down and changed position so they formed a kind of circle. (I tried to show this in the picture I made - see second drawing above). As to their size.. Probably around 15+ ft long and 8+ ft wide.) And, as they got closer they came down lower. I was hanging onto the arms of my chair and fully involved and a tiny bit scared. Slowly and silently they cruised right over me no more than 200 ft high. I made an effort to stare at them and I was thinking I don't ever want to forget what they look like. They were smooth objects with no marks, no doors, no windows. They seemed to be made of light. As soon as they had passed over me I jumped up and started yelling "I saw UFOs" and ran into the house and my son came out and looked but they were long gone. I really was excited. A few days later I found out a man on Airport Road had seen the 4 objects when they appeared in the East. He lived about 4 miles Northeast of me.

Special Note: The witness has had several encounters with UFOS and strange lights.  She keeps a record of dates and writes down her experiences in a journal.  For this reason she has been able to provide accurate details of sightings that occurred several years ago.

Investigative Notes: The witness has supplied very elaborate details of her sighting.  Her sighting matches many other sightings that I have investigated regarding diamond or circular formations of lights. No other sightings were reported in the area at this time (per National UFO Reporting Center database).  This sighting does not fit any astronomical or meteorological phenomena and does not appear to be conventional aircraft.  Given the information that I have I consider that the lights in this sighting are unidentified.
