Dog became anxious & let it out. North sky at 30-35 degrees above the horizon, stationary flashing strobe green & blue on the left, red orange yellow on right, white underneath. Lights became larger & shape more distinct staying at the same angle, not moving. Lights began to fade away still flashing same sequence. Lights faded into the distance at the same angle & height. Please note, lights did not move. Became larger then smaller over 1/2 hour period. At its most prominent, lights formed a distinct diamond shape. We used Nikon binoculars.

I watched them go by, they seem to be approximately the same distance apart. In a line. They were bright steady lights. Moving quite fast . Just plain white light

It caught my attention because it looked to big to be a star sitting on the horizon in one spot. My camera wasn't cooperating when I tried to film it. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Heading home, we where in our car, we saw a moon shaped greenish white light, full-size of a moon close up. Facing us while driving seeing its full circle shape. And glowing light. Following us actually it was moving faster then our car. Then after a few seconds, it speeded up and shot off like a rocket. Almost like a rocket would do when you shoot it from the ground but this was in mid air, going straight not shooting up like a rocket would do. When It shot off, there was a trail of light; it was no longer as big as a moon. And we saw something smaller but black shoot faster out of the light and then it disappeared. Not sure what that was but we can not think of anything else beside a possible ufo explanation.
