About 6 or 7 military jets flew over at high altitude about 10 minutes before this event. While out herping my family and I witnessed a bright light come from the east over a nearby hill. It was making impossible maneuvers/movements in a diamond shape. It would move in right, down, left, right, down, left, up and stop, come closer to us and do the same thing for about 4-5 minutes. The closer it got, the more we became uncomfortable. We jumped in our vehicle and drove west to leave the area. We continued to watch it behind us as we drove, it climbed and disappeared into the south eastern sky.
