Multiple LITS abserved for 4-5 minutes dropping below horizon then returning 15-20 degrees from orignal location.
This was in early spring of 1992 or 1993. I noticed what I believed to be "flashlights" in a field directly south of the house I was in. Activity after dark was not common this time of the year so I went outside to check it out. I quickly realized the lights were not flash lights at all. The Lights appeared to be multy colored orbs or balls of light that changed color rapidly. I would say the flashing or color changning was similar to when one is star gazing and the stars seem to flicker in wavelength. They were brighter and more clear than any light I have seen at that distance. The LITS were SE of my location and moved to the E before the event was over. The is a local airport approx. 1 mile S of the house. I tried to rationalize what I was seeing as Chopper's from the airport, but the LITS ducked below and then would reappear randomly and differnt locations. The wind was not notably strong, but even on windy night I can hear all manner of traffic at the airport. That night I heard nothing. The Lights, there had to have at least seven, were continually dropping below the horizon then returning to maybe 10 degrees above the horizon. The were not connected to each other in any way i.e. moved seprately. They were moving to quickly verticly and horizontally to be winged aircraft and sometimes would hover in one position. I observed the craft for 2-3 minutes when I decided to find a witness. I literally dragged my younger brother out into the back yard to watch. He saw the same thing I did, but with fewer craft, maybe three. One craft stayed in a hover the other went below the horizon for a final time. The one that was hovering by itself flew almost exactly east to west flying directly over our heads. It was had gained a lot of altitude in a short period and was probably @ or above 10,000 ft. The lone LITS went from hovering above the eastern horizon to below the houses in about 10-15 seconds.
