Three witnesses among family--First sighted on the way home, starting with two in a far distance, and continued as we pulled in the drive. Two triangular shaped crafts circled our complex about 5 or 6 times within 20 minutes. One had seven blinking lights and the other had only three; the one with seven blinking lights was leading the other craft the whole time. At one point, the leading craft approached a normal commercial airplane and disappeared, jumping from above to the left of us in around one second. They then went around the back of the house and completely disappeared. Aircraft noises separate from the crafts themselves were heard, possible reasoning behind circling such as watching or chasing them. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

At 22:22 while standing on front porch, we saw a bright round object that looked like a fireball without a tail approximately 1/4 to 1/2 the size of the moon or a better comparison would be an actual basketball about 15ft above you. It was Bright orange/red. It traveled in a north east direction at an extremely fast speed. We thought it may be some type of aircraft crashing. We waited but there was no signs of impact or noise associated with what we saw. We contacted local law enforcement and after they checked surrounding counties stated that there were no reports of a crash or any reports of military activity. Afterwards at 22:55 we saw another object with the same description but traveling in a south west direction with the same starting point as the first sighting. We looked up various web sites to see if there were any kind of meteor showers for our area of vision and there were none listed. We then called the NUFORC hotline.
