A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The sky was dark with a slightly cloudy sky. I saw 3 bright lights they were in a triangle. I thought they were stars at first, and then the bottom left one disappeared. The top one the tip of the triangle moved to the right slowly and then the bottom right just disappeared. The top one was more of a white bright lightbulb color the two bottom were more like shimmer gold color I thought at first these are really bright stars like two headlights shining right at me until I saw the top one and I knew it was something other then stars.

I looked out bay window and saw 4 bright red lights out just above the trees. The strange thing was they were in the shape of a box and not blinking as they should on a plane or tower and they were standing still. As I went for my camera, my wife went out on the deck and she said, "They are not making any noise." As I got back and snapped a photo, the object in the lower left hand side had started moving to the north, then each followed, perfectly spaced, until they disappeared behind the trees. I went out my front door and went two houses down to the corner where I was them come out from behind the trees, stop for 5 second each than take off to the north climbing steeply and were not visible in 8-10 seconds. My wife came down and said two more came in behind the first four. We watched all 6 do the same exact stop in the sky for 5 seconds than off they went. I took 3 photos but only one turned out because of the street light and flash.
