At first, it looked like one light then I zeroed in on my phone, and it looked like blue and white lights a layer of them. You would have to see the picture. It was not acting like a plane at all with the human eye I’ve seen the stink satellites way up way higher and look different. This is like the third identified object. Me and my wife have seen in three months and our location, don’t know what this is just curious . [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

There were 3 in a triangle pattern. I usually don’t buy into this kind of stuff, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t completely baffled. It was too large for a plane. I have experience being around c17s and c130s… This thing made those look like a child's play toy. I couldn’t hear anything from it, which is bizzare for how low it appeared to be. I could hear planes from much further away. I've served in the military and for 8 years now I've been in law enforcement. I'd like to think I have my wits about me and I'm able to process things rationally, but I've never seen anything like this in my life. I was the only one awake in the house and by the time I noticed it, it began departing North towards Milan.

I was sitting on my back porch, using my tablet, when I saw a single glowing (red) orb cross the sky, traveling from the north west heading south east. I have seen red orbs like this once before, and suspected it might be a ufo, but was unprepared the first time. When the first orb appeared, I watched it dumbfounded for a minute, to see the same object again, then got my wits and went into the house to get my digital camera. I only caught a smidgen of the first object. Then a few minutes later, TWO identical orbs, both glowing red, followed the EXACT same flight path, in the EXACT same direction, at the EXACT same speed. I got the two in formation recorded, only the first few seconds of it were in focus but they are discerable. I didn't have the foresight to have the camera on manual focus and as I zoomed in, it drifted out of focus. Not long after the pair of orbs vanished, a FOURTH came into view, once again, EXACT same flight path as the previous 3. I have a much better video of the last orb. In it, I have the entire flight, from where it first became visible, to when it went beyond where I could see. I have both close zoom and I also pulled back to include the moon in the shot, to provide scale for distance and speed. All four objects were totally silent, I heard no aircraft sounds whatsoever, saw no blinking marker lights, only the red glow. I believe because of location and time, as well as other physical characteristics of the event, that I was not seeing sunlight reflecting from airplanes. The light was constant and consistend for the entire event, never waxing or waning, never changing in intensity as a reflection would. Also, these objects should have been flying through the shadow of the earth, as shown given the time and lunar illumination.
