The report, as filed
Looked out patio door at 2 a.m. In the North Airport area I noticed some really bright green lights side by side in sky. Thought it was odd and not normal. So I sat there and waited for it to get closer. It was low flying, barely above tree top level. It came about as fast as an airplane taking off would. When it got close I could see 3 really large Round Bright Green Lights that were not blinking. It was going South. When it got to my fence line it stopped and hovered. It was real loud like a lawnmower in the sky. It was so steady hovering there. I sat there wondering what the heck this thing is? I could not open my door to get a better look, or my Alarm would have went off. I sat there watching it. I heard a noise like a transmission would make and those 3 Green Lights rotated counter clockwise and was now Facing East instead of South like they were facing. That was an incredible sight. The lights literally twirled around fast. When it turned I now saw a R! ed Flashing Light on the back of this thing and could see about one inch of the Green light lens on one of the lights on the side near me, I knew the lights were still there but now they were facing East. The craft took slowly off going East now. This thing had to be black or a dark color cause It was so dark that morning, I could not make out shape of it. I could not tell what it was. It was not our Police Helicopter or an airplane. It was not a toy either. It was too large. The lights were huge. I live on the flight path of the airport and am used to seeing all kinds of airplanes and helicopters. Never saw lights like that or a sound like that. I have spent hours now researching every plane, drone and helicopter I can find and can’t find anything that has 3 Green lights on it that are that large and round and don’t blink. So wish I knew what it was. One thing for sure, I saw first hand how these flying crafts change direction so fast. Apparently they must push a button or a gear and can go from going South to going East real quick. It must be a new craft too, not many reports of 3 Green lights that are solid and not flashing. I will never forget what I saw. It all happened so fast and me being slow at walking, I could not get my camera to take a picture or I would have missed it!

I enjoy coffee every morning while watching the sky. I look for different celestial objects and the international space station. I even have an app that helps me understand what I am seeing. On the morning of October 20th at approximately 6:45am I was stargazing and enjoying the view of Jupiter. Suddenly 3 lights appeared in the western sky between Jupiter and the horizon from my vantage point on my front porch. The 3 lights were moving North in a triangle formation for about 1 minute. I tried to grab my phone to record, but when I looked back up 2 of the lights had disappeared and then the 3rd light disappeared. The lights did not fade or leave a trail. It’s as if the lights were snuffed out.

They moved too fast to be a jet and did maneuvers we've never seen. It was 3 but one after the other coming from different directions but all landed in the same area. It would stop and hover, move diagonally, straight down and up before disappearing as it decended to the ground. One came south to north, the second west to east and the third, north to south.

Driving towards Utica and saw it fly over 15th St very slowly. Glowing orange oval, watched it until I had to turn right on Utica. Lost sight of it for 10 seconds could not relocate.

I recorded for 6 minutes but it did not come across in video, I've attached anyway in case you can do something with it for them to show up. They had no real group formation but appeared to drop closer to earth and then might move in a north westerly direction. Some would leave our view as others would drop in closer. There was obviously more because as they moved about others would appear in different area of the sky in that area. There was a southwest airline airplane that passed under them and through them that might have some video of it. As the closer objects spin there was some notice of an outer edge that would become visible. I will not character them as having lights, they were a large glowing light, very bright to have been in the daylight. I referenced them as changing shape but they were mostly round with an edge that was visible at times changing their appearance.
