AT 930 PM TO 950PM 5 ROUND ORANGE BALLS CAME FROM THE WEST AND STOPPING OVERHEAD MOVING INTO VARIOUS FORMATIONS. THEN FADING OUT AS THEY WENT SE. S

AT 930PM WE WERE CALLED OUTSIDE OF A RESTURANT IN THE PARKING LOT TO LOOK AT 5 ROUND AND ORANGE LIGHTS FLOOTING OVER THE AREA. THEY ALL HAD THE SAME COLOR AND DID NOT CHANGE IN COLOR.

THEY MOVED WEST TO EAST BUT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE MOVING WITH THE WIND. THEY STOPPPED OVERHEAD AND MOVED TO A Y FORMATION. ONE THEN MOVED BBY ITSELF FURTHER SW AND THEN FADED OUT. THE LAST FOUR MOVED ABOUT IN VARIOUS FORMATIONS AS THEY WENT SOUTH AND FADED OUT, NEVER MOVING BACK TO THE EAST. MANY PEOPLE WATCHED FROM THE PARKING LOT.

IT WAS NOT A HELICOPTER OR PLANE. EVERYONE AGREED ON THAT. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
