July 14, 2020-10:52 pm: I spotted a pyramid shaped uap with distinct areas of emitted power, (viewed as white light). I observed the uap through the window of my bedroom near a tall tree in my yard close to my house. It was visible in the sky near the top of the tree and/or through the leaves. Through the naked eye, i remember it being just a cream colored light in the sky. Small enough to be similar as a large star. The difference was how bright it was compared to the stars in the sky, on the somewhat clear night. Many times I lost track of it and I had to move my head around slowly to find it again. I assume by looking back at it that they leaves in the trees could have obstructed my view. After capturing it on camera I notice two different photos. One a clearer photo showing the uap and the other blurry but capturing something of interesting. With the clearer photo it is observed to be a pyramid shaped object with four assumed engines. Its visible to see them but can be seen more easily by editing it, (These are the original photos and are not edited). Also in this photo there is a visible haze that starts above it and flows back to the top of this uap. In the second photo I noticed an area of purple coming from the middle right part of the photo. This again is easier to see upon editing the photo, such as saturation and vibrance. Understanding the importance of original photos I have kept these as the original photos from that night. However due to the poor quality I do point to editing the photos to be able to clearly see this uap.

At dusk was looking South to see stars appearing in sky. Noticed what I thought was a meteor but was continuing across the sky. All of a sudden another orb of light was right behind it on the same path as the other one.watched the 2 lit orbs go across the sky for about 3 to 4 minutes. Witness provides no contact information.

I was in my kitchen last night when something out the window caught my eye. At first I though it was fireworks that a neighbor was shooting but quickly realized that it wasn't when the light came back over my house in the other direction. I then thought it might be a meteor shower but the small purple light then quickly evolved in to a circular shape and started spinning colors from purple to yellow. The center looked either hallow or black. (I couldn't tell because it was dark outside). It flew over the trees and houses at times lowering and hovering then shooting up so high I could hardly make it out. It came back again flying fast then stopping and hovering. I couldn't believe my eyes and needed someone to validate what I was seeing so I woke up my 12 year old grandson and he was able to witness the last 10 or 15 seconds of this before it just disappeared in a flash.
