Cylinder over De Funiak Springs, FL

The report, as filed

Predawn a very bright "star" was noticed to the south, (Venus was NE of us) over time the Light brightened, was joined by 4-5 others then took on rectangular shapes very bright (like light reflecting off a window - however, another appeared 10-30 miles to the east identical brightness, different angle) from these rectangular glowing panes bus like ships began to extrude on a western heading (except the one to the east, which was identical, but went to the east). The Ships had Large windows (about 6-8) on the visible side as they slowly made their way westward as though extruded from the bright rectangles. The lead ship had two shafts at about 2/3 of the way back which were joined by another bar connecting them at the top, these were tilted backward at about 25 degrees. Looking almost exactly like the bars on a trolly connecting it to power. The ships were light tan almost a desert color. Once all ships were through and headed westbound the trolley-like apparatus dissolved, parts of it fading away like it was lost in the clouds, though none occluded the ship itself. The loss of the attachment did not appear to hamper its flight in any way. . . it seemed to have simply served its purpose and was no longer needed.
