At approx 4:50pm I had come to my kitchen to get a drink of water, while standing at the sink facing north west i caught a gilps of somthing very bright coming from the west window in the kitchen, I steped to the west window and saw an object in the south west sky at approx ten o clock, this object appeared to be about baseball size it was a distinct V shape the object was extremely bright,the colors were silver and orange,not believing my own eyes I called my wife in from the other room as she aproached the window where i was standing i heard her say what the he** is that, I you see to right she replied again what is that,iI said i dont know grab the binoculars (we keep a pair by the kitchen window to view wildlife in the back yard) at that point undernieth this object there appeared at least four thin silver objects passing from south to north at an unbelievable speed, at this point I told my wife to grab her video camera this took approx two minutes while she was gone my two sons and i steped out side to get a better look asthis object was heading west very fast, my wife returned and was able to get approx two minutes of the main object on tape before it dissapeared the silver objects were not seen again, I took the tape in and viewed it to make sure this object was on the tape, I then called information to get the phone number to the T.V station who I then called I spoke to somone in the news room they did not express much intrest when I told him how far from the station I lived he stated what we had seen was more than likey space debry or some thing like that he told me if i get video of a tornado he would be interested in that,I hung up. the internet brought me to your website I was wondering if anyone else had seen anything,the local police had no repports.
