2000-01-17 - Philadelphia, PA - Rectangle

I was visiting my mother. It was bitterly cold (approx. 15 degrees Far) And very windy. At appox.6: 02 PM I went out back into her small yard to have a cigarette (she doesn't like the smoking inside). About a minute or two passed when I thought I saw movement in the sky (It was mostly dark with indirect distant light from further down the street, the sky was devoid of any clouds, only stars were visible) I looked up quickly I moved further into the yard to see what it was when I saw these three rectangular objects moving in tandem. They were not like anything I ever saw in my entire lifetime. They were moving at a quicker pace (based on their approximate altitude I would estimate much faster than any commercial or non-commercial aircraft I have ever seen. They glowed with a subtle consistent amber color, rectangular in shape but with smooth edges. I followed them without a blink for about 6 seconds before they went out of view over the rooftop. When I first saw them they were in tandem, before they went out of view the were going out of tandem. Needless to say i was stunned but excited. Before I went back into the house I just reaffirmed to my self that I really saw this and did not imagine it. That only took about a second.
