Shape:

The caller and her two daughters were driving home when they noticed that the stars were moving in the sky. They could see two stationary stars in the eastern sky.

The mother said that they could see many "craft" in the sky, which appeared to be points of light. There were two large lights, and a "whole bunch" of little lights nearby.

The lights they were looking at were both white, and others were blue. They were clearly different from the stars.

The lights were moving from their right to left. They detected no sound.

The mother and two daughters live way out in the country at the end of a long driveway. They were about 3 miles south of Highway 50.

The mother and her two daughters got back into the car, after which the small lights were gone, with only the larger one still present. the large light then simply zipped off.
