The report, as filed

At 8:25 p.m., I was standing at my living room window. I looked out towards the North West and seen a bright white light hovering the hill in front of our house, straight above a star. The light hovered for about 10 to 12 minutes and while hovering it brightened and dimmed several times. At first glance it seemed like it was a star, but it was about 10 times bigger than the stars surrounding. It kept moving slowly, but if you kept your eye on it you could see that it had moved. I grabbed my video camera at this point and started filming. Once I started filming the object was still in the approximate location of North West, it sat still for a while and then moved up and the back down slowly. After about 4 minutes of filming it disappeared over the hill. Behind the tree line on the crest of the hill you could see the bright white light still behind it, moving in the Northern direction. I took about 4 pictures of the object, I could see a green haze around the outer perimeter. About 10 minutes after the light had went behind the tree line, it came back up quickly, but was now bright yellow. I continued to film from my living room and then proceeded out on to the front porch. There was absolutely no noise of any kind. It started moving extremely fast, faster than a regular jet. Different flashes of red and white appeared all over the sky, they were about the size of stars. The object itself zigzagged back and forth towards the East and South East several times and extremely quick that it was very hard to see with your own eye, but it can be seen on the camera. It was very difficult to keep up with. It then proceeded in the East direction and over the hill behind our house and then disappeared.
