I was awake at midnight as I was packing for a permanent move from Montana to Michigan. I took a break from packing by stepping out on my front porch, without turning on the torchlight so as to not attract insects. I sat on my porch chair and right away noticed this huge craft hovering above the treeline to my left.
I can only estimate the size and distance of the large craft to be at least 800-1000 yards in diameter, hovering above the neighbor's ranch roughly a quarter-mile high. The distance from my porch would be about a half-mile from my porch, behind the Fishtail Family Park. The Disk was stationary, I could only see the underside of the craft, and only one light was visible, located at the bottom of the concave underbelly. It was visible yet, when I tried taking a photo with my phone camera, only the night sky was visible. The smaller craft were zipping across the sky, going in one direction, then reversing course and going in the opposite direction. I watched them throughout the 30 minutes until a point of time when they all returned to the large craft, when they all disappeared inside the larger craft, the large craft blinked out of sight. I can't say if it just went invisible or if it sped off so fast it was in the blink of an eye.
My town of Fishtail, MT is a rural Ranching community, with a population of about 50 people. I lived in this same duplex apartment for fifteen years and I know the night sky very well. There is no mistaking what I witnessed. I tried reporting my experience to the local police but, they just dismissed it. Due to the type of community, there was nobody awake at midnight.
