Full Description & Details
The couple we had travelled with were still involved with the church service, and we were locked out of their car. We found a grassy area far from the lighted parking lot and sat on the grass while my fiance's breathing became easier.
We continued to watch the northeastern sky whispering back and forth. Assuring each other we had seen indeed witnessed something unexplainable, possibly a phenomena. Neither of us had ever seen swamp gas or a weather balloon, so we decided it must have some scientific explanation that we were unaware of.
We began to relax a bit but continued to watch the sky off and on for approximately 20 minutes while we talked a bit, quietly. There was no further activity. Lots of stars, a sliver of the moon, no clouds.
A herd of deer began grazing nearby, plus my fiance was having difficulty breathing, so we became very quiet for quite a while. From time to time we would look upward, or over toward the deer. At some point my fiance pointed upward.
There were now 7 hovering objects at closer range that were arranged into a complicated orbit around one another. Slowly at first, and eventually increasing the complexity and speed of a precise and intricate pattern.
The center object, the largest remained suspended, almost fixed but fluid but rolling. The other six elongated orbs revolved around it in a pattern also rolling. There seemed to be no "right side up" with the six orbiting and rolling elongated orbs. They seemed to become a "unit" that retreated further away.
With distance, I recognized the pattern had either evolved, or had always been, a dimensional molecular representation.
The objects were luminous but did not illuminate. They were not shiny, or polished. The color of each objects changed from silvery, to an almost iridescent muted combination of blue-violet, midnight blue, teal blue. The violet color always seemed to remain top side no matter which way an orb might be "spinning".
There was a mathematic precision and intricacy to all of this that cannot be explained.
This "show" lasted for approximately 9 minutes and ceased abruptly with the orbs lining up single file, colors no longer iridescent but a luminous dull blue, and arched one by one over the horizon the last first, the first last, just a fraction of a second before the church door opened at the end of the service.
No noise. No contrails. The deer continued to graze as if nothing had happened until we got up and began heading to the car.
I reported it to the State Police who were skeptical but polite. I don't believe there was any follow up.
I have watched the sky ever since, and have witnessed no other unexplainable phenomenon. Just Hale Bopp, Kohoutek, various solar and lunar eclipses, and two rare occurances in our area of northern lights.
