Five circular bluish-white objects moving north to south, 3 first followed by two more in a vertical pattern.

On the evening of Saturday July 6, 2002 at about 9:45 pm 3 objects were seen traveling in a nearly vertical pattern (the topmost of the three was lagging a slight amount). They were moving from north to south at an inclination of about 35 degrees from the horizontal. There was no sound heard, they stayed in the same relative position to one another as they traveled across the sky. Their size was hard to determine, if a star were 1/8 inch, these were about an inch and a 1/4. Their color was a bluish white with a brighter halo about 1/16 inch (using the same relative sizing) of a brighter and bluer color. They moved southerly and then seemed to go further east and upward until they were lost to sight. A glance to the north found two more identical objects which followed the same trajectory as the first three.
