Duration: a few seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Dawsonville, GA, USA

Shape: Triangle

3 stationary points of light, looked like stars in a constellation, started moving, then disappeared

I did see a UFO once! Or something definitely unexplainable. The date was the night of July 5, 2000, I had just turned 40. I was at my sister's house my nephew who had just turned 10 was begging me to camp out with him in their field behind the barn. It sounded like fun and a good bonding moment so we did.

We were laying in our sleeping bags talking and staring straight up at the star filled sky. All of a sudden about midnight, directly overhead in this star filled constellation, 3 of the stars in a triangle shaped pattern, that had been stationary, started moving! My nephew said, "Did you see those 3 stars start to move?" They slowly moved in unison in the direction of the front point of the triangle for a few seconds and then the front star disappeared followed by the rear 2. As if the nose of a craft lifted up and then took off. Since they looked like stars (points of light) it was most definitely outside of the atmosphere.

We were so rattled by it and excited, neither of us could sleep and we stayed up until 5am talking about it and searching the sky hoping to see it again.
