The report, as filed
Traveling southbound on us 52 near the intersection of county road 450 I witnessed four lights in a row that were just hovering above the highway and a nearby field. Three of the lights were similar in shape to rounded street lights but much brighter and white, the third light was blinking extremely fast next to that light was a bright red light. he middle of the white lights had a white hue around it similar to that of a flashlight . I at first thought it might of been a life line helicopter landing. The closer I got to it the more it just looked off, the lights were either moving apart or the closer I got the more space I noticed between the lights. I didn't witness anything between the light, but I saw something like a field or something around them in like a rounded rectangular shape. It wasn't until I driver underneath it and heard my car echo similar to going under a bridge or in a tunneI decided to get out and take a picture of it or a video or some! thing because I didn't hear it and realized that it was right on top of me. As soon as I parked my car and opened my door it was gone. I didnt see it fly away and I don't think I heard it.

As I was waiting outside for my uber I looked up to see a sting of 6 lights flying right behind each other . It got my attention so I continued to to watch as more lights added on coming from out of nowhere and getting in the back of the line .In there 3 minutes or so that I watched I counted331 lights . When my uber arrived I pointed the lights out to him .He alsofoundthem very unusual .just white round lights .There were no colored or flashing lights visible . If I had to guess from my view on the ground about an inch apart and were going from my left to the right staying at what seemed to be the same height.

When we approached Alcoa on Teal we both thought there was a small plane above the factory with various lights both flashing and non but as we got closer realized it was not a small plane and it wasn't really moving. It appeared to be hovering and although it was dark and almost 9:30 pm, we could make out a triangular shape. The size appeared to be that of a small car in length. 5-6 ft maybe? As we turned left onto US 52 it was no longer in sight.

I went home to get Wife and Son to see it, but it was gone. In fact I asked my Son if there was an event he forgot to tell me about as he follows weather closely. I am sure someone seen besides me, as roads were fairly busy at the time. I have seen comets before, or One burn in the sky, but this was stationary and Large.

Within half an hour there was 8 commercial planes that flew around it which is unusual for that many in this area. At this time is moving south but losing visibility due to larger trees and its quickness.

Sitting outside with friends. It had been storming all day, and the night sky was foggy. There was a large, bright blue light that streaked the sky east to west. It was as fast as a shooting star, but much larger, or closer in orbit. Too fast for a plane or helicopter. Travelled in a straight path and then disappeared.
