Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Round very bright lights

Size of Object(s)

I am not very good at estimating sizes at a distance. From my vantage point the lights seemed no larger than a streetlight but clearly at a much higher altitude.

Full Description & Details

I was at a Dave Matthews concert at Crickety Pavillion, had lawn "seats", my date for the evening pointed out some lights in the sky and asked me, "What the hell is that?" What we were looking at were about 4-6 lights in the sky, moving east or possibly northeast (I was facing north towards the stage from the lawn). The lights were very bright and very obviously not conventional aircraft, birds, ball lightning, weather balloons, or any other such thing. After hovering for about 30 seconds, they flew off to the east EXTREMELY RAPIDLY before completely just disappearing (NOT going out of view, as in disappearing over the horizon, but just plain DISAPPEARING into NOWHERE -- they just completely dimmed out.) We watched the sky to see if this would repeat, but it didn't. Most people were completely focused on the concert and did not see the lights.

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

never say never, but i've looked at hundreds of possible explanations and none seems to fit the data

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

My view is that just because we don't know what an object was, doesn't imply anything such as aliens, etc. But I am now among those who have seen with their own eyes UFOs that cannot be satisfactorily explained conventionally
