Five friends camping see four UFOs in one evening, and one the next night.

Four friends and I were camping at North Lake, We were doing some stargazing when from the southeast we saw a slow moving object that looked like a star that moved from southeast to northwest, we thought it may have been a satellite, or a jet with no flashing lights like a spy plane, but then we saw another object on a different path, going north to south.

This object moved the same way.. slowly, but changing speed at times, and almost in a straight line. the second object was viewed through binoculars and appeared to glow bright blue, and had a slight cigar shape... Just when we were starting to think things were getting strange, 10 minutes later we saw another craft flying in the same direction as the first craft, again it was a blue rounded cigar shape. I got up into the middle of the clearing to get a good view of the sky at this point, just as the 3rd craft floated out of view I saw another craft flying VERY CLOSE. It appeared blue and sometimes had an orange gleam, it was moving across the sky like a helicopter but made no noise at all. I yelled for all my friends to take a look and they got up and all saw the object, several of them said it appeared to be spinning, as we all watched it move across the western sky an airplane was flying from the opposite direction and it looked like they could possibly run into each other. The pilot must have saw the object and climbed quickly as the object.

After that things seemed to die down and we all agreed we saw something that was out of the ordinary. Even my girlfriend who has always been skeptical of UFOs was convinced the 4th object we saw was something strange. The next night we all looked in the sky at the same time as the night before, and sure enough we saw an object flying high in the sky, this time from northwest to southeast. We saw it stop at the horizon, and seem to stop, but the object was actually getting closer. it stopped short of actually comming right back at us, and floated southward across the east side of the lake, once again all of us saw the object up close. After the object disapeared, we saw four or more airplanes flying toward where the UFO was last seen.

I would really like to know of anyone else in the area saw this, or if it can be explained naturally in any way. This is my second time ever witnessing a UFO, The first time was in april during the daytime in Utica, NY. I'm very interested by them and am going to get a camera to get some proof of my sightings!
