fading lights in formation over Fort Gordon
for the record i'm still not convinced this wasn't just some weird training exercise, but tonight 2 soldiers came up to me when i returned to the barracks after dinner, claiming to have seen "UFO's". Soldiers had obviously been drinking, but i decided to humor them and listen to their story. They claimed to have seen 3 reddish-orange lights appear in a triangular formation and a fourth a little ways off that flew around the (clear, dark)sky, and then faded out of sight. As I was in the process of listening to them, suddenly one pointed at the sky, where I saw a single light had appeared in the sky, it remained stationary and then faded out after 10 seconds or so. I tried to dismiss as a flare, but then realized their was no noise or smoke trail, and it was too high. after another two minutes 4 lights appeared, 3 in a line and one lower to the right. As i watched the furthest right light in the line faded out, just a 5th light appeared on the left side of the line, almost as if a giant cylindrical object was slowly turning. after 15 secs or so this display faded out completely. myself, the two initial witnesses, and 2 more soldiers witnessed this. afterwards at roughly 2 min intervals, the single light would reappear. this happened 3 more times or so.
Background of reporter: 22 year old male, intelligence analyst for the US Army, completely sober at time of sighting, (am sipping a beer as i write this report however), highly skeptical about aliens, but willing to admit that this was a flying object I could not identify, and am familiar with most of the worlds aircraft due to my job.
Location: Ft. Gordon is the signal center for the US army, lights looked like they were possibly overhead of the new NSA expansion being constructed on post.
PS: one guy did videotape incident with his phone, however its such poor quality that lights are not visible, all you can see is people pointing at the sky and yelling.
