Circle over Ballard, WV

The report, as filed

This is my second sighting in about 8 days. The first bought me by surprise. I was putting clothes in the dryer when a very bright light got my attention. I turned to look out the window and saw what appeared to be a helicopter shining a light or laser beam down toward the top of the mountain. I grabbed my phone but in my excitement had not turned the video on. When I did the beam had retracted but I did get a 53 second clip that showed the light spinning and shooting across the sky in many directions. Do I have been watching the sky and last evening about 6:40pm I had my camera ready and captured another dancing ball of lights. The colors were green red white and maybe yellow. It seemed to vibrate and change from a solid to a ball of specs. It shot off in various directions. There appears to be 2 other quick tiny flashes of light, one at top right and bottom left as if it was not alone. I have a couple short clips of that also. Don’t know if it’s true but I was told there is a secret military base somewhere in these mountains. I am a minister and retired tech professional. I’m not sure what else to say. Hope this is of interest to an expert. I certainly like to find out what it is and why it’s out there. I can’t seem to find my video content on my phone to upload but it’s there. How else can I get it to you. I need to know what it is.
