My 6 year old brother ((name deleted)) pointed it out to myself, my mom, and her boy friend.

My brother saw the whole thing, I, and my mother saw just over half. My brothr saw it come out of the sky. It was about the size of a football field and was about 30-50 miles away from where we were standing. When I saw it, it was droping behind the trees. It had a glossy wet looking surface. When I saw it there were only 7 lights left, the rest had already droped behind the trees. when my mom saw it. there were 8 lights. The only thing in that direction is a lake. There were two planes in the area, but the lights on this were in a circular shape and just above the tree line. It went down slowly(I think it landed).
