Diamond shaped silent object floating over Dothan, AL

It was 9:54 pm. I was out in the backyard with the dogs. I happened to look up and saw a triangle of lights headed my way.

There were three lights: two red and one white. It seemed to be floating above the tree line. I first thought it might be helicopters flying in formation, but there was no sound. It seemed to be only one or possibly two football field lengths away. When it turned, I saw a third red light that made it the shape of a diamond. Only one light was blinking. The other three stayed on constantly.

I watched in amazement until it went behind the trees. I watched and waited for it to clear the trees. When it did, I saw it turn around and head back the way it had come. I was speechless. What can turn around like that?

When it went behind the trees again, I ran into the house for my camera. I was going to take a picture when it reappeared, but it never did.
