Object changed colors and shapes, divided at one point

On November 18th ,2003 my husband came in and told me there was a strange object in the sky. My husband , I and the neighbor went out to watch it. The object started out as being triangular. We looked with binoculars and it appeared to be changing colors. It had red,green and blue lights. It was glowin.g a white color also. It would shine a beam of light , and then it would stop. As we watched it would change shape , at one point it appeared to divide in half. We got out out telescope and tried to get a better look. We could see nothing with the telescope. It was as if we had a cap on the end , it was total darkness. We took pictures , and not a piture turned out. They were all black. We watched it from 10 pm to 1 am .When we finally went in the house it was still there. After going into out house we had a strange message on our answering machine which was sounds like echos. My computer would not work also. The neighbor called complaining her computer would not work also. I posted this on out town website , it seems some others saw it too. I called the sheriffs department to report it during the time we were seeing it. They said they were sending someone out to look. After I called , we saw alot of planes in the area of the craft. The sheriff said they had no other reports when I called . A few people people I had talked to say they called also. They was no reports in our newspaper about the incident.
