At 10:15 PM I stepped outside to have a smoke on my deck. I looked to the North West, I couldn't help but look that direction because there was a whole string of bright white lights heading North East. There was no doubt in my mind what I was seeing, I knew. A fleet of UFO's. There was no sound, and they moved in precise order. And they just kept coming. Once they got farther North East, they just simply disappeared. I guessed maybe 50, but I don't know how many I missed before I got outside. Tried to video it but I was shaking so bad, I hit video on phone and forgot to hit play. Dang it. Probably a once in a lifetime event. Quite scarry, to see so many.

I was going to the store, when a light caught my eye. I looked at it, assuming it was an airplane. But when I paid more attention to it, I realized that there was no noise. I looked at it for about 5 seconds, and then the object flew backwards and flew off faster than anything I've ever seen.
