My husband and I watched lights in the sky for about 45 minutes.

My husband and I were locking things up for the night when I noticed a strange light in the sky. I asked my husband to look at it to see what he thought and he wasn't sure, niether of us could see it very clearly so my huband came in the house and went back out with a pair of binoculars. When he came back and we had looked at it we decided we had to get actual video or photographic evidence. My husband came back into the house and took out the video camera. While I was watching the first one with the video camera my husband was looking around to see if he noticed anything else. He watched another came out over the tops of the trees and curve back in the shape of a U and dissapear back in the trees. We had watched the first one for about 45 minutes, never saw the second one again that night, and got 15-16 minutes of video footage. My husband went out about 3-4 more times that night to see if it was still there and it was other places in the sky but in the same general direction it had been in when we had first seen it. When I looked through the binoculars i saw tree lights on what appeared to be the bottom of it. The lights were arranged in a triangular shape, but I was unable to tell exactly what the shape of the object was. The color of the lights were red, green, and orange. They seemed to be strobing and rotating at the same time.
