I was just getting off of work so I went to go see my brother, when I got to his house I looked up to look at the stars. That’s when I see this star start changed from red to orange repeatedly then it shot off within a second. So when I went back to my house I noticed that the same thing I saw was following my car if I went left it went left and if I went right it went right. And I felt watched the whole night after the incident.

Was walking up Washington Ave., when I saw a bright solid orange light. I thought it was a new street light because it wasn't moving until it slowly started moving right. My friend, his girlfriend and I stopped and began watching it as it sped up, before stopping again after moving from my 12 to 4. That's when I noticed it wasn't 1 light but 3 long lights. Then as it began moving again, I noticed a second one off in the distance. These objects where probably at around 8000 ft if I was to guess. It didn't make any soumd. Whatever it was seemed large, and moved a lot like a similar object I seen around 2009. I have seen something similar 3 times within 1 mile of each other. All orange, but until I saw this one I never noticed the three bars of light and always thought they where 1 light. In the past 10 years, the feds have been buying up a lot of land around here too. And there is a Lockheed Martin factory close too. I seriously think something weird is going on in north centeral WV. There are places where you can see large air shafts coming out the ground, but there hasn't ever been word on what they are doing. I hope you can dig more up on this because no one else seems to care.

Neighbor rang our door bell around 8:30 PM on Saturday, September 13, 2014. Upon going outside, my wife and I saw several groupings of round, reddish orange objects, in a very loose formation, traveling north to south at a high rate of speed. What appeared to be sparks were falling from the sides and trailing edge of several of them. I was looking at them through 16 power binoculars. The bottom of each round object appeared to be composed of multiple circles of light such as an LED flashlight. We heard no sound from them. The height was above the cloud layers. The clouds appeared to be at or above 15,000 feet. The cloud layer they overflew was approximately 10 miles due south of our location. They appeared to be well above that cloud level. There were 3-4 loose formations of 8-10 objects. Several minutes after the last formation there were two “Tail End Charlies.” I am an ATP/CFII/MEI with over 4000 hours.
