Appearance / Description of Object(s)

From the distance we could not tell the shape but color changes included blue, green, red and light yellowish or organish.

Size of Object(s)

No idea, they appeared really far away and about the size of a star.

Description of Area / Surroundings

rural area with no special sites or features. We saw two satellites, a few jets and "shooting stars".

Full Description & Details

About 11:00 Tuesday night while sitting outside star gazing someone noticed a star moving. That got my attention, "no way; stars don't move", but yeah it did. We watched for about 10 minutes then began spotting others. I personally only saw three but others saw a 4th. We got out a couple pairs of binoculars to watch them, then noticed the movement was actually very erractic and fast sometimes almost circular. Only through the binoculars we could we see the color changes and really fast movement.

We first reasoned they must be satellites for gps or cellular service but soon reasoned that out because they did not move like the other satellites, they stayed within approximately the same position relative to the stars. To test it wasn't some weird behaviour from moving the binoculars, I observed other stars adjacent to the objects and they did not move erratic or change colors like the objects being observed.

With just the naked eye they were fairly easy to spot as they appeared a bit brighter than most of the stars in the sky; it was a very clear sky. We watched them for about an hour between around 10:45 to 11:45.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

absolutely not. I could imagine a satellite changing color as the light hits it from a different angle but not the quick steady changes of the four distinct colors.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I always figured folks were a bit arrogant and naive to think we were the smartest creatures in the universe. After the sighing, I think maybe I was right.
