The report, as filed
My little brother was gazing in the sky and saw something flying in the atmosphere and told me to look to my surprise when I looked was what the hell is that, it appeared to be 3 object flying synchronize in formation im guessing at a very fast rate and it was like it had camo like it would look like a star but then it would look like the sky and I would fade in in out , so 15 minutes past and right over the house over were about 44 fly objects just like the ones we just saw and they would fly to a curtain point and they would i guess jump light speed or something ,but it was some that I guess might have been lost because we saw a few stragglers but there ship would let off a very bright light i guess and I could jump kind of sort of the sky , it was the most beautiful thing we ever seen .

I was looking up at the moon in my driveway. The sky was still blue because the sun hadn't set yet. A light about the size of the north star appeared out of nowhere directly to the right of the moon. It stayed in one place for 2-3 minutes before moving slowly to the south, then becoming stationary again for a few minutes. The light went back north at the same speed as when it went south. It was stationary for a few more moments and then traveled east. There where no flashing/blinking lights, it never changed color, nor did it make a sound. In my opinion it wasn't even in our atmosphere. The light was just as bright as the north star on a clear night. I decided to take my telescope out when it was stationary to the east. What I saw through the telescope, I can't get out of my head. My wife took a look and it freaked her out so bad she could take another look. I studied this object for as long as I could. It was a triangle or almost U shaped. In my telescope it was as big as a nickel so with something that size in the telescope I would think you would be able see some type of structure, but there wasn't. It was just a very bright white triangle/U shape light that moved from north to south back to north and then east. For me, the most incredible event was when it decided to leave. As I was looking at it with the telescope, it started to move east more so I had to keep adjusting the telescope. I found it, I centered it and in a faction of a second it was gone. After witnessing something like this, it has me definitely looking up and questioning a lot of things.
