Full Report Text:
They were covered in purple lights. I was in my yard, bored, running around doing cartwheels, when I noticed the first blinking of a light. At first, I thought it might have been a helicopter because it was simply hovering in the sky.
Then it began to get lower and you could see more flashing purple lights spread across this ship. It began to take form as it got closer and closer to the ground when it was close enough to the ground to be able to tell the size of the ship which the equivalency of a medium above ground swimming pool was, another ship began to come into view. It seemed almost as if the ship closer to the ground noticed the higher ship because it swiftly took off into the sky.
With the second ship following afterward.

Object's light looks like a meteor falling in Earth's atmosphere I was going for a walk to the park, crossing the yard I saw a bright streak in the western sky, very far away. I first thought it was a plane, it may have been a plane, but it looked more like a comet or meteor. Like the one that was caught on tape some years back over a football field.

Large ,bright white ,rectangular object hovers in western sky The dogs were barking strangely so I went to the door to investigate. When I opened the door I heard a loud roaring, which caused me to look upward. There was a large object with white lights (non flashing) hovering low in the sky.
It was very clear and you could see the image of the craft. The sound seemed to go away as I stepped into my front yard. You could clearly see that one part of the object was spinning.
I ran inside to get the digital camera, binoculars and the movie camera. The digital camera picked up the object not to clear, but when you hit the quick fix button , the shape becomes very distinct. I'm 46 yrs old and my daughter is 11.

Large craft hovering, with bright clear lights The dogs had been barking strangely for about 10 minutes when I went outside. There was a loud roaring sound, unlike an airplane or jet. This caused me to look upward when I saw a strange shaped craft with bright non flashing lights, white or clear in color.
The image was very clear, it appeared very large and was hovering low in the western sky. My 11 yr old daughter and I were the only ones that saw it, she was frightened because it was so close and clearly recognizable. I ran in and got the digital camera, movie camera and binoculars,.
Through the binoculars you could see a portion of the object spinning. The pics didn't come out too clear but you can tell there was something unusual there.
