2 golden yellow orbs in northeastern VT above road

Saw two UFOs last night at about 6:30 PM EST as I arrived home from work. When I pulled around the corner by my house in the rural village where I live, I saw two large, bright golden orbs above the road just south of my house. They were stationary, parallel to each other, and fairly close to each other at a height of, by my estimate, of about 150 or so feet above the road. They were also moving in an erratic manner side-by-side to each other, sort of leapfrogging over one another. One would quickly leapfrog over the other to a parallel position next to the one just jumped.

Then the one just jumped would perform the same maneuver over the first one in the same direction. This occurred maybe two to three times then they reversed the process in the opposite direction.

Once, the lights seemed to flick off to black but shortly came back on. When the maneuvers seemed to have ended and they both went black, I parked my car and got out in the dark, but seeing nothing in the sky went into my house.

Within about twenty minutes of my sighting, I received a phone call from a friend in my town who lives about 2 miles from me saying that in the company of their son they had observed a similar display on their way home from a different direction to town. They stopped, got out of their car, and went to a field above their home to further observe a similar performance to mine above their field.

The activity I saw occurred maybe two to three times in a matter of a few minutes from the time I stopped in the road to observe them. I was stopped in the travel lane of the road while seeing this activity. Three or four cars passed me in the road during this time. Though no one else stopped, I can’t believe no one else saw this because of the size of the orbs, their proximity directly above the dark road, and their erratic behavior. Very odd.

Apparently many UFO sightings were observed and reported locally at this time, but the media has attributed them to the Leonid Meteor showers that are occurring. This is not what I observed. I have watched the sky most of my life. I have seen the comets Hale-Bopp and Halley’s, meteors and their showers, and satellites. These definitely are NOT what I saw.

I have seen many anomalies in both the night and day skies here since the mid- to late-1990s. I am a financial professional.
