Six flying craft sighted over a clear blue sky, just one day after a major blackout in 1977.

Dear Peter Davenport, My name is ((name deleted)). My Brother ((name deleted)) has written into your program on his UFO sighting encounter. As apart of his story, I also was a witness to this event.

The day of the event was July 26th, 1977, the time 2PM. I had noticed that beautiful, cleared skied Summer day, that my Brother ((name deleted)) was laying out on the lounge chair soaking in the sun. Next thing I knew there was alot of commotion going on outside as I heard him saying "Oh my God, look at that" ! I ran to the back door, and asked him what was going on, he said, " Get out here, look at this, it's incredible".

So I rushed out to the backyard, and as he pointed up to the sky, my focus targeted on six flying objects. One large object in the middle, and four to five smaller objects in a formation surrounding the larger craft. The objects seemed to be way up in the atmosphere, and appeared to be " a strange attraction" to me because the objects just hovered, and definitely did not act as the flight of a plane craft would. Suddenly, the smaller objects started to perform pulsating, multidirectional maneuvers that planes or other craft would never be able to maneuver. Then all of the flying objects moved across the sky together in the same formation, surrounding the larger object, and continued to maneuver this strange multidirectional flying pattern. This type of event continued on for what seemed a minimal of ten to fifteen minutes. Then in a blink of an eye, they all took off in different directions and were gone !! Just like that.....

Thank you for taking the time to read my witnessing of this account.
