we were merely enjoying a meteor shower when these objects happened simply caught our eyes, as if wanting to be seen.

first light traveled at a steady the slow then quick pace heading west to east before blinking out. second object traveled southwest to northeast first slowly then sped up, then slowly again then blinked out. first two objects were visible for 45 seconds apeice. third object traveled west to east looping and zig zagging,at two instances the object illuminated a bright white light, visible for 1 minute. fourth and fifth object appeared together at the peak of the atmosphere, fourth object headed east then started zig zagging down at a 45 degree angle for 20 seconds then straight along the horizon, before blinking out. fifth object headed west while also zig zagging,and looping then stopped and hovered for 4 to 5 minutes then blinked out. at one point a smaller white light seemed to advance to or join into the fifth object after it stopped and hovered. this happened during the peak half hour of the meteor shower, so ALL OTHER OBJECTS WERE MOVING VERY VERY FAST, EXCEPT THESE FIVE OBJECTS
