The first object was a red light that seemed to appear out of nowhere as if from behind the moon or something. It rose up to just slightly above the moon. The second was, I would estimate, 15 minutes behind. As the red one headed northwest, the white one rose from below the moon and trailed it at an even pace until they were no longer visible.

Observer Bkgd Info - 3 White Male teens of age 13, 13, 15. One joined us later age 12. No previously documented psichiatric problems. All GPA's of 4.0 at the time except for the 15 year old, who was slightly lower than average. The first red light appeared at approximately 10:45 PM Eastern Standard time and was just below the visible bottom of the moon. It sat there until about 11:00 than began to rise at an unhumanlike rate of velocity. It travled upwards, and as it reached the visible top of the moon, a white one appeared. It behaved just like the red one. When the red light began to move northwest in the night sky, the white one began to trail it with an equal speed as if being towed from the moon by the red one. We observed this for about an hour or so before they were out of sight. The crafts seemed to both be invisible to the naked eye shape and colorwise, just a red light and a white light.
