| I was shopping in the Crossroads Shopping Center in Fairlax County on Route 7 (between Alexandria and Falls Church). I saw an object with flashing green and red lights and white strobe lights hovering and then circling over the intersection of Columbia Pike and Route 7. I retrieved my 10 X 50 binoculars from the trunk of my car and tried to discern what the shape of the object was. All I could see was a string of red and green flashing lights and 3-4 white strobe lights. This object gradually moved to the SW and I saw a number of flashing "fireflies" that were green in color detach from the object and fly in various directions. After the object disappeared to the SW I saw several lights from some light aircraft flying in the vicinity of where the object had been hovering. The object emittted a sound like a radial aircraft engine. I saw and heard a similar object flying in circles over my home immediately after September 11, 2001.
