Silent White Orb UFO followed by other Unidentified Craft

August 24, 2010 On August 24, 2010 around 8 pm or so, my girlfriend and I were relaxing outside our apartment in West Nashville, TN. The sky was clear, with a full moon illuminating the sky considerably.

While looking at the moon we witnessed a very bright, solid white, orb-like object float into our field of view. We don’t know where it originated from as it seemed to have simply appeared.

As we watched the light, we witnessed it accelerate fluidly and slow down just the same. The object was able to make left, right, up, and down movements while changing altitudes quickly. This object was totally silent, and it traversed the length of our house, but must have been at least a couple of miles away.

The light then moved behind the trees just behind our house. Yet, being as bright as it was, we were still able to maintain visual contact and track its movement. We were at this point standing on my neighbor’s porch, my girlfriend on my right, when the object vanished. Simultaneously, a shooting white light shot off into space faster than lightening. The light trail was almost imperceptible to the eye, and it’s duration a fraction of a second. Almost like a reverse shooting star.

At this point, we were stunned because we knew it was like nothing we had ever seen. As we sat and discussed the object/light, we continued watching the sky. It couldn’t have been mo re than 5 or ten minutes since the other object vanished when we began to see multiple high-altitude aircraft flying towards the area where the object had been. These aircraft made no sound, and had blue and red quick flashing/blinking lights. These lights flashed quickly and they appeared to be set in a rectangular shape or pattern. One after another, these aircraft continued to appear at what looked like the same altitude and speed; the latter being hard to estimate. At one point, it appeared these craft were assuming a triangular formation or were flying in a formation directly above where we witnessed the first object.

I estimate seeing at least 10 of these aircraft, and I do not believe these were commercial aircraft. I think it’s possible they were military in nature, and that they also may have been circling the area. These aircraft eventually disappeared, maintaining the same direction, speed, and altitude.
