The object was in the distance, late at night, not so easy to make out as to exact shape. It basically hovered for a long time. It seemed to be getting closer for a few minutes, but then did not appear to have actually moved. We both thought it looked like a classic hat-and-brim shaped flying saucer, as depicted in films, with red lights at either edge and a greenish-blue larger light, almost like a spotlight directed towards the ground, in between the red lights. My husband thought he could make out a tower-like structure extending up over the object with a red light at the top. I attempted to shoot video with a small camera, but it was too dark; object just appears as a whitish blob. Can’t rule out a drone, but appears large from a distance.

On the night of July 23, 2015, I was arriving home from a friend's house and I heard a small whirring sound, ignored it and entered my home. I had to run out to bring my cat back inside my house, and I noticed a strange blue light all around the back part of my yard, so I try to get a better view and I see two dimly lit red lights and a blue aura surrounding an oblate disk about 300 or so feet in the air, so I instantly ran inside to get a witness, that witness being my mother, by the time she came out in disbelief, it was still there, and I tried to take a video of it but I had 4% battery life, I was able to capture the full image of the disk but before I could save the video or stop the recording my phone turned off. Weirdly enough, when I re-entered my house my phone turned back on but with double the amount of battery life and all of my pictures, videos, and apps deleted off my phone. I was stunned by seeing this, I felt very strange and later on I. The night I heard the whirring again and again but I never saw the object again. Also to add in, my cat was no where to be found and still has not returned home, or eaten out of her food bowl we left outside that night.
