The report, as filed

Im a retired police detective who served in Afghanistan as a military contractor. I'm seventy years old. In good health non drinker or drug person. At 7:17, I was sitting on my front porch smoking a cigar. The moon was to my right. To the left of the moon was clear, and I could see no clouds. As I looked up to the sky to the left of the moon. Three saucer-like or balls looking orange then appeared in my vision. There was a shimmer hard to detect the shape, plus I'm seventy. They had what appeared to be rotating white-red-orange lights. To the right of me, looking up from the stairs left of the moon coming into the moonlight, I checked my phone. They were going due north. I would estimate ten thousand feet. The first three craft were in delta formation Since Pease Air force base is several miles from my house, I thought they may be planes in formation I have seen that before. I didn't think much of it. Seconds later, the original three were followed by at least 20. following loosely put with purpose. Not floating in a straight line same path North. At least thirty or forty more after that. Now I said WTF? Then more were coming. I have been in hot zones in the past I didn't want my imagination to run away, But I said to myself this is an armada there going to take over Pease. They were not moving at a high rate of speed. I sound like a nut, but I actually thought it was an invasion. I feel like a fool thinking of it. This wasn't a drone, flares, Elon's toys or Jupitor. Im not that stupid I was trained extensively to be an observer. I also knew this may be significant. I told myself to pay attention. They had a purpose going north. I ran to my neighbor's house across the street. To help me verify I was on his ring photo thing. He wasn't home. I went back in the street, praying someone was seeing this and not just me. Then, out of nowhere, Im not going to say wormhole from nothing came something like a white maggot it was a length of light it popped out of nowhere, gyrating, squiggling, it went through the lights that were moving north. It dipped behind my vision was blocked by a tree. Then this made me say Woah! In the moonlight, I could see clearly. Rising from below the tree was a delta shape, something in had to be turned sideways like I was watching a black triangle, much lower than the lights, I saw the outline distinctly. I have no proof, but I think that white squiggly thing that went behind the top of the tree was the Delta Craft I'm calling it. It was black I could only see the silhouette as it flew in front of the moon. No light whatsoever. With the coming and going of the airport I thought for a minute it could be dangerous. It traveled on the same path. I could only estimate, but it was the size of a trailer truck. Much lower in altitude. Then nothing.I ran into the house thinking it would be all over the news, but nothing. My wife and I checked everything, even the local papers and such, but nothing. I know what I saw I have the pictures of the Armada and the white thing, for lack of a better word. Nothing of the delta craft sorry my phone died. Well, that's it.I told no one, but my neighbor saw the photo. I do find it strange not another person saw it. All you had to be doing was looking at the moon.
