Continued to do this and then disappeared out of nowhere. Came back a minute late way left and much higher and then appeared again way to the right and then disappeared again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A red light was flashing alternating with another color that was more difficult to define...possibly light green. Witnessed by myself as well as my wife. Sky was very clear. The object was too distant to determine a shape. The movement was easy to see but was quite limited in extent. It basically hovered in the same spot for 2 hours at which point I gave up trying to determine what it was. Of note I text messaged a male Operating room nurse that I work with and he confirmed and gave the same description as me. It was roughly near where Capella in Auriga would be looking from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, but was not Capella!! I have 27 years of experience looking at Capella from Tahlequah and this was much, much brighter, with a flashing red light. Of note it made the local news but my wife said the recording cut off and she therefore did not catch any details except that someone did videotape the object in the Northeast. The object rose to about 20 degrees above the horizon for a while (2 fist widths at arm's length).

I was standing on the front porch at 22:00 hours when I looked up and saw a triangle shaped craft overhead. It had white lights at each corner and was moving from northeast to southwest silently. It went behind a tree and within the few seconds it took me to get to the other side of the driveway and into the alley; I could no longer locate the object.
