WIFE AND I DROVE ONTO START OF OUR STREET, NOTICED TWO LIGHTS NOT USUALLY THERE. STOPPED CAR, GOT OUT, SAW TWO CRAFTS. NO NOISE AND HOVERING.

MY WIFE AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM HER PARENTS HOUSE FROM DINNER. WE TURNED ONTO THE END OF OUR STREET AND WERE PROCEEDING TO OUR HOME. AS I WAS DRIVING, MY WIFE SAID TO ME "LOOK AT THOSE LIGHTS, I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD PUT UP TRANSMISSION TOWERS NEAR HERE". I LOOKED UP AND SAW WHAT SHE WAS REFERRING TO, BUT IT WASN'T RIGHT. I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT TO LOOK AND SHE SEEMED TO GET VERY UPSET AND ASKED ME TO GET BACK IN RIGHT AWAY. MY WIFE AND I WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES TO SEE THIS, THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR BEHIND US ABOUT 50 YARDS, AND THEY TOO STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE. WHEN I LOOKED UP AFTER MY WIFE HAD MADE HER COMMENT I SAW TWO RED LIGHTS BLINKING. THE TWO LIGHTS WERE BLINKING EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME, AS IF THEY WERE BOTH HOOKED UP TO THE SAME CIRCUIT. THAT IN ITSELF I THOUGHT WAS STRANGE. AND I ALSO KNEW THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTLY NO WAY THAT ANY TOWERS COULD HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT US KNOWING ABOUT IT. THESE LIGHTS WERE NOT THAT FAR AWAY. THEY WERE DIRECTLY OVER HEAD AT ABOUT 200'. THE FIRST ONE WAS PROBABLY 200' HIGH AND 300' IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS DARK OUT AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I WAS LOOKING AT ONE OBJECT WITH TWO LIGHTS ON IT. THE SECOND LIGHT WAS ABOUT THE SAME HEIGHT = 200' HIGH AND PROBABLY 500' OR 600' AWAY. ALL I COULD THINK WAS HOW INCREDIBLY LARGE THIS THING WAS. I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ONE OBJECT. THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LIGHTS WERE BLINKING, EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME. AS I WAS STANDING THERE, THE FARTEST LIGHT ZOOMED UP, RIGHT NEXT TO THE OTHER ONE. THEY MADE NO NOISE, AND THEY BOTH HAD SAT STILL FOR A WHILE. THEN THEY WENT OVERHEAD AND TO MY RIGHT. THEY GAINED SPEED AND ALTITUDE AND WERE GONE. NO NOISE, NOTHING. WHILE THEY WERE OVERHEAD, I SAW THAT THEY WERE TWO OBJECTS, NOT ONE. AND I ALSO SAW THAT THEY WERE TRIANGULAR IN SHAPE. I'M STILL NOT SURE EXACTLY OF THE SIZE. I'M STILL WONDERING WHAT I SAW. MY WIFE ALSO SAW ALL OF THIS TOO. AT THE TIME I KNEW A MAN THAT WORKED IN THE CONTROL TOWER AT THE AIRPORT HERE. I CALLED! HIM UP AND TOLD HIM WHAT I SAW AND ASKED HIM IF HE HAD SEEN ANYTHING ON HIS RADAR. HE SAID THAT HE SAW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, WHICH MADE ME THINK THAT I DID INDEED SEE SOMETHING VERY OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I AM JUST GLAD THAT MY WIFE WAS WITH ME AND SAW THE SAME THING I DID OR I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY. MY WIFE FELT SO STRONGLY ABOUT THE STRANGNESS OF THIS THAT SHE CALLED THE LOCAL AIR BASE. THEY "KNEW NOTHING" ABOUT IT. HAD I KNOWN SOONER, I WOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW OF YOUR ORGANIZATION. SINCE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE I THINK THIS WAS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME SITUATION. THANK YOU. ((name deleted))
