24 total golden colored, orbed lights in configurations similar to the big dipper moving slowly from NW to East
Two seperate sets made of one set of 15 golden orbs in a slow moving configuration similar to the big dipper and accompanied ( believe, but other 2 companions did not seem to hear)by a low hum. Objects were moving from the north west to east. Followed by car appx. 1/2mi, stopped car and watched objects slowly blink out of sight one by one. A second set of 9 identical color and size orbs as the first set following in same path @ appx. same speed. The night sky was clear at beginning of sightings, then begin to fog over slowly. Followed second set of orbs for another 1/2 mile. People throughout the traveled area were watching the sight, talking on cell phones, stopping along the route to watch, even people on a city bus were looking out of windows at the objects. Observed by 51yrs. church secretary, 59yrs insurance agent and 8yrs, 3rd grade, male student.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke briefly by telephone with this witness. They were located near Chile's (sp?) Restaurant when they initially witnessed the objects, and were looking slightly north of east as they gazed at the lights. Then, they drove east approximately one mile along State Street (??) to Perryville Road, where they stopped again, and continued to look at the lights in the eastern sky. PD))
