Star wars in the wisconsin northern skys!!!

At 9:10 pm on july 22nd 2011, two associates and myself observed what looked like a satellite in the northeast sky traveling north. It looked the same shape, size and brightness as the surronding stars.

As it approached near perfect north in the sky a small very bright light zipped right in front of it, almost like a rocket. Then the lights just dissapeared.

We were shocked and amazed at what we witnessed.

Then near the same place where we saw the 1st light dissapear we saw another star like object appear and start to glow extreamly bright. Then it got dimmer;about as bright as the surronding stars, and started to travel towards the same path as the first light had taken. Only in the opposite direction.

When it had gotten about true east it vanished from view getting slightly dimmer througout its entire path starting from its bright beginning.

Within a minute or two after, another object appeared where the second had appeared. It too presented with a bright light which drew our attention and followed the exact path as the previous light. As if it was following the light before it.

Throughout the next 20 minutes or so we were treated to at least 5 or 6 more of the same lights appearing with a flash and traveling through the sky. Although to and from many different directions.

After a 5 minute period of rest in the sky I told the fellows we had to get back to work. By 21:45 it was all over.

Several more times through the evening; until midnight when we all left work, I peeked outside to see cloud cover and was un-able to see any more action in the sky.
