Full Description & Details

My wife and I along with my sister and her friend Peter were sitting on our condo balcony watching satellites and shooting stars on a hazy, humid, cloudless, moonless night when out of the north came a low flying formation of lights that, in the time it took us to get over our amasement at what were seeing, disappeared over the trees blocking our view to the south over the Green Mountains. When each of described what we saw each agreed that it was a V formation, silent, high speed, low altitude with steady, low intensity lighting (not flashing as the several aircraft we had seen at much higher altitudes). The only differences in our observations were that one saw the lights as triangular shaped and the others saw them as circular, and that two saw only 4 lights while the other saw five lights with the fifth not following the V formation but wandering from it's position in the V to the middle of the V (Peter described this as the teenager driving the craft). My sister had gone inside the condo for something and she reported seeing a flash of light in the condo. About 1/2 later I viewed another identical formation but by the time the others turned around it had disappeared over the treetops. We then drove to a mid mountain parking lot to get a full sky view, unfortunately, no other viewings appeared.

Witness Background

Earlier that day Peter, born and raised in Chile, had talked of the routine sightings of unexplained lights over the Andes in the 1950's; he attributed our sighting to us being in the proper mental state for a visit from the unknown. I have SETI running on my computer and had commented that my father had a daylight sighting in the 1950's of a metallic disk with a central dome over the farm I grew up on and that this disk made no sound as it left the 7-8 mile visible valley in the time it took my father to blink his eye. We had several military training flights over the valley but my father insisted that this was like nothing he had ever seen and its speed and lack of sound made it a UFO. He listened to the UFO- Fact or Fiction radio broadcasts after that to try to make sense of what he saw.
