Appearance / Description of Object(s)
from my eye upward at approximatly 30 dergees from vertical in opposite directions there was a light then over to maybe 40 degrees another and another equally spaced lights on a solid object that blocked out the statrs in the background. In all 8-10 lights around the edge of an enormous square or rectangle object
Description of Area / Surroundings
We were in the middle of a small town of 5k-6k people and it was directly overhead
Full Description & Details
a friend and myself walking thru town on a star lite fall night at about 9 or 10 pm when we noticed a series of lights in the sky just barely moving. there was no noise and they were moving so slow it was as if they were floating like a balloon. We ran a few blocks to where another friend lived. He wasnt home but his girlfriend and her brother and her mother all came out and witnessed the object. In all we watched it for maybe 7-10 minutes. We were just transfixed on the fact that it was so huge and yet made no noise as it very slowly moved across the sky. as we watched the lights equally spaced around the edges we could see they moved as one and completely blocked out the stars in the background. the object was enormous and as it was silouetted against the night sky it was impossible to tell just how large it was because of the fact we could only make out the lights but couldnt desern the distance to them. The angle from our point of veiw to each light overhead was astounding. I have told of this experience 6 to 8 times in the past and people smile and say yea what were you boys drinking or smoking? I have said before that I believe this object...given the angle the lights were from my eyesight, 8-10 of them as I remember, the distance the seemed to be from us, I would say the object was at least a couple MILES square. Thats right it seemed like it had to be over a mile in length and width in order to be so far away and yet take up so much of the sky, and move so slowly. We joked the entire time that this will be all over the news and that many people are seeing this. Nobody reported seeing anything. No newspaper accounts no radio no nothing!
Can sighting
be explained as any conventional man-made or natural
object?
As we were watching it I made a statement about small pilots flying in formation in order to mess with people BUT everyone present insisted NO it is blocking out the stars. So NO I dont believe we have anything that can move that slow and be that large.
Personal Background

Other Comments
I didnt talk much about it except to the friend who was with me when we first saw it but about 10 years or so ago I saw a tv show on sightings and there were people who described their sighting exactly like what we saw.
