Light over Trenton, KY

The report, as filed

My toddler woke up about 0130. I went into his bedroom on the front side of the house. I laid down with him and started to drift off. I thought my GARMIN watch had shifted on my wrist because I saw a strobe effect in the darkness. I realized I wasn’t wearing it. I looked up, through his door, through my bedroom door, and out the window showing the back of the house into the cow pasture. There were blue lights. They were in a squatty “x” formation, wider than tall. They stretched about 50’ across, and were in the pasture about 100 yards away. It appeared to be on a hover above the pasture. I squinted because it was so unreal- there is nothing back there but fields; the farmer’s structures are a good 50’ away from the siting. As I squinted, the lights became brighter and larger, the deep teal blue color became almost whitish, spanning 75-100’ across, then vanished in an instant, appearing to head north into Kentucky, but left no tracks, trails, smoke, or any indication of directional movement. There was no sound during any of this. I laid there completely awake, asking myself for about 30 minutes if I had been dreaming, but knowing I hadn’t been asleep. I was completely awake. The picture I am enclosing is the area where the lights were in a hover before it vanished. I circled where it possibly was, which had an odd dampening of the grasses in a triangle shape now.
