For some reason, I was compelled to look out our bathroom shower window on Sunday morning around 2:15 am, and focus on what appeared to be a star. It then quickly shot downward, I immediately thought it was a shooting star. But it did not fade or fizzle out; it stopped and then shot abruptly to the right. I woke up my husband to witness this amazing craft. He got his binoculars which allowed us to see that the craft had green and red lights on it. I then woke up our two teenage children to witness this. We are still unable to determine an exact shape, as it is off in the distance. The craft continued to dart around and continue in a decent downward. It also has flashes of light that occur the exact same distance around the craft intermittently. It appears as though it may also be sending off beams of light. I have watched this craft appear in the same area for three nights now. It appears as though there are other such craft hovering in the sky and not moving, but they have the green and red lets on them as well. My husband contacted all law enforcement agencies to see if they had heliocopters in the air, and they did not. He contacted Sacramento International Airport Control Tower, and they said they did not have any planes in the air, but there was something showing up on their radar intermittently. The object is too far away and it is too dark to video tape it. I am wondering if anyone else in the area has seen it. If so, please let me know @ ((e-address deleted))
