There was a large number of lights in the sky flying in geometric patterns.

A night in the Fall of '93 my little brother and I were driving on a county road near our home. I am interested in the stars and as such I glanced up at the sky. I saw what I believed to be a passenger plane flying west. A few seconds later I witnessed an additional object flying directly toward the first. I knew that the distance between the two would be great by differences in altitude. Still, I watched off and on until they met. Then amazingly enough, the second light stopped and reversed direction to follow the first. Immediately, I stopped the car. I rolled down the widow to hear what I figured to be a low flying helicopter. I heard no sound. Then, the second light accelerated and began flying circles around the first. As I watched in awe, the first light continued on its trajectory while the second stopped again. When I took a wider view of the sky, I discovered not just one object but between thirty and fifty similar sized lights of varying colors. They all appeared to be flying in what one could determine to be geometrical shapes. I told my brother to get out and look. We both stood in amazement for about five minutes watching the aerial display. Then being only two miles from home and my small telescope, we drove on. When we got home, we looked up to see if they were still there and discovered another light. This light was much larger, white, and stationary. The smaller lights would fly to the larger one, stop, and then resume the geometric ballet. I went inside to get my telescope and my father. My father, argueably the most skeptical man in the world, was speechless as he witnessed the show. I tried to get a better look with my telescope, but they only appeared as bright lights. After about a half an hour, they just diappeared. I realize that this may seem odd to report five years after the event, but I had no idea who to contact until now. I will not wager a guess as to what we saw but it is deffinately worth reporting. At the time of the event I was seventeen, my br! other tw elve, and my father forty one. I graduated valedictorian of my high school class, played several sports, attended church, and was active in community activities. I'm not sure what is meant by background information but I hope I have given sufficient informatio.
