Characteristics: Lights on object

triangular object flew right over us

i was sitting by the pool with a friend at around 4 am. we were looking out into the night sky, talking. When we both noticed a single light appear in the sky pretty far out. it looked like a spot light at first , yet it had no glow to it. we sat there observing this light for about 5 min. when i said to my friend that i think it is coming in our direction. that was exactly what was happening. this object was heading right for us and about 5 min more it had reached our field of vision. my friend got scared and ran towards the house front door but stayed outside. i on the other hand was fixated on this thing going slowly towards my direction. it appeared to be about 15-20 ft above. moving extremely slow. the light appeared to be on the upper part of it. i'm guessing it was about 10 - 20 ft infront of us when the light moved behind it. this object continued towards us. it went right over us it appeared triangular on the bottom but it wasn't sharp edges, sort of round. no light reflected from it and when it was directly over us i saw what i thought was some form of energy movement from underneath it. which appeared rusty reddish in color with a dull illumination. it had a pattern swirling in the center and shooting in the opposite direction of the nose or the point of the object. it appeared to be a dark object with no reflection of any kind and no noise of any kind. the object was approximatly 15 ft long and about 10 feet wide at its bottom. it appeared to be flat on the bottom but not ontop, sort of dome like. we both watched this thing for about 30 to 40 min until it was way out there. then we saw two other lights moving from two other areas and all three were meeting up towards the same point then they all shot up at extremely fast speed into space. this is the closest to a ship i've been but ive seen something else really close too cant really say what it was but can describe it.



((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION FROM WITNESS))

i recently sent a email form to your office. even though it sounds absurd, it really happened. i waited so long simply because what i saw was truly life changing! i didn't feel anyone would believe me so i only told one person besides you. after i wrote you i recalled some very important info. i did see this thing at a very close distance and for a very long time. i do not want anything in return, i am not doing this for recognition. if you all have never seen anything like this i am astounded, because this is my secound time, at the same distance but different object.i've seen other things at further distances
