Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 7

Location: Goose Creek, SC, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

I took my dog outside to go to the bathroom and I noticed lights up in the sky - a row of them. They were blue-white lights - very bright. I thought it has to be a plane and I watched to see where it would go. It didn't move - it stayed in one spot in the sky for about 10 minutes. The sun was just coming up, but I could make out that it was shaped like a hamburger with a row of circle lights actoss the middle. There were sirens and lights flashing about this same time, so I thought the police knew about it and were looking at the same thing I was. I got my daughter out of bed so she could see it too and she called the family next door. We all watched it ascend straight up! We never heard it make any noise. As it went up higher, it appeared to change shape. It looked like a diamond. The next mornign, I looked up ion the same spot and there it was again, only this time it was much higher up. It looked like it was coming straight down and wobbling side to side. I called the police to report it and when the officer arrived it had moved back up higher into the sky. He said it looked like a star to him. It is very frustrating to not have people believe you. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who saw it.
