Light over Sautee, GA

The report, as filed

At 8:00pm on Dec 9th, 2017, I witnessed numerous red and white flashing lights coming over the mountain tops. It looked like they were in formation and the event last around 5 minutes. The lights were moving north west at that time at a steady pace. I did notice a plane fly above them, maybe 5000 ft above them. But my depth perception of these objects was not good though. I tried to film a video on my phone and still have it but for some reason the lights do not appear. I think you could make a case that this was a military event, however our rural area was out of power at this time and I didn't hear a sound while these objects were flying over. That was very strange to me. I didn't have any sense of fear, mostly just one of wonder. Very cool experience. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. The sighting occurred at night, so we have corrected the time above. PD
