Circle over Dunkirk, IN

The report, as filed

I'm an old guy. Was watching TV and noticed a stationary round white light to the N-NE out of my east facing family room window. Didn't really think much about it, thought it was an airplane or helicopter. It disappeared. Seconds later it reappeared and was closer-about 100 yards in the same direction, however it was larger. That's when the white beams of light came on. It was obviously night-time and the lights were so bright they illuminated the entire woods. They weren't normal search type lights-they moved to fast. At this time I went outside for a better look, it was gone, it was dead quiet. No helicopter and airplane sounds. This happened in about a 20 seconds. I guess it might have been an aircraft, but I've never seen anything like this in the past. I believe it was a UFO because there was NO sound at all. I prefer my name not used. You can contact me if this is a legitimate UFO sighting.
