Several lights appear over Elizabethtown, KY.

We were sitting outside late at night when we saw in the north-western sky, just over the tops of the trees what looked like airplane lights. These lights were stationary. We got out our video camera and zoomed in on it. We could not only see one light (flashing), but we saw two separate disc type shapes very close together in the sky. At first glance it looked like headlights on a car in the sky. They (the lights) appeared to be spinning. The two disc shapes had red and green lights which blinked in a radom pattern. Below the two disc shapes a very small solid color green or blue light would appear and go toward the discs and back. We live within 20 miles of Fort Knox. We got into our car to drive closer to it. We drove from Elizabethtown North toward Radcliff. As we would appear to be getting closer to the objects, they then would move. We turned and went in West toward Vine Grove. These objects were moving now rapidly. By the time we arrived in Vine Grove, keeping the objects in sight the entire time, they just disappeared. In an effort to get closer, no matter how far we would drive it would just stay about the same distance from us. We drove back to Elizabethtown talking in the car about what we saw. Too bad we could not get closer to get a better video. As we were one block from home, just over the tops of some one story houses, the object we had been chasing for 2 hours, appeared to our left, VERY CLOSE. The lights appeared to be less than 100 feet from our vehicle. My wife grabbed the video camera. As we prepared to stop, one light disapeared, then the second one disappear in less than a second. We were on the side of the road looking into a black sky. There was nothing. The night was very clear and we had with us three other people who saw the same thing. We never heard any noise with the lights.
