2003-11-14 - Midlothian, VA - Circle

This was pretty weird, we live in the country somewhat. My house is high on a hill and my deck you can see the woods far away. I woke up, to get the door, since my mother in law went country line dancing and was returning home. Something had me look at the window in the family room and I noticed that something with Blue, Red, and White Lights was surveying (the only words I can use to describe how it was moving) the woods. The distance was about 5 to maybe 10 miles from my house, it was hovering over the wooded area just either circling or going back and forth. When it would move in the west direction, the lights red and blue would appear. Then when it returned movement back toward the east a bright white light would shine down, like it was surverying something. I noticed it first, then went upstairs and grabbed my mother in law, and we both went on the deck to watch this happen. It would not stop and there was no noise coming from the object. I watched it for about 10 minutes, then I noticed that another object was flying across the woods, and went in the west direction, this object was a solid red color, like a ball or something. Still watching the bigger object, another object that was white in color and long (cigar shape) went in the west direction as well. Both secondary objects disappeared from my view. It was weird.
