Full Report Text:
Large circular light seen above horizon, completely faded to black within minutes. Looking eastward, large circular shape that I mistook for a fog-covered moon until I noticed that the sky was completely clear. Light was within 10 miles approx 30 degrees above horizon line.
Light was bright enough to have mistaken for the moon and over three minutes faded away to what seemed to be a blue/violet circular haze.

Full Report Text:
Red lights, appeared stationary in sky over Valley Avenue, Winchester,Va Object appeared to be what looked like fireballs in the sky. The closer we got to the lights we began to realize that the lights were rowed and stationary in the sky, not moving at all. There was no sound.
We seen this in an area with no light towers. The object appeared to be larger than a football feild in length and width. After a few seconds of looking at it, the lights seemed to seperate in a way.
They became still again, almost as if moving into another formation entirely. After a few more seconds they began moving and what seemed to be disappearing into the sky until there was a single light left and then that light was gone as well. The object seemed massive and had no sound to it at all.
It was confusing when the lights separated because they seemed to be in perfect lines when we first seen it in the sky.

Strange light shooting down from the sky and staying around. I was driving down I66 to go home from work. As I am driving I call my fiancé to tell her I am off of work and I am heading home.
Well when the phone started to ring I was just starring into the sky up to the left out of my windshield. Then as soon as she said hello this bright light zoomed down and made the sky bright and it seemed like lighting hit the ground but it was white then purple then bluish. After that I just figured it was a shooting star or comet.
Though I have seen many of those this looked nothing like that. We'll on down the road I started seening this light thinking it was a star I looked closely at it and realized it was changing colors. So I watched it till I got home.
Then I sat in my truck and parked it in my driveway where I could still see the light. As I sat and watched it it didn't move and yet it grew larger and then shrunk while becoming larger it changed colors from white to blue to purple and orange. So I have no idea what I saw.
I just wanted to know if anyone else saw what I saw that night.
