No of observers: 2

Location: Conyers, GA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Electrical or magnetic effects

As I walked through my kitchen, a bright light caught my attention outside the window.

I stopped for a look and there in the sky above the tree lines was an object that appeared to move left to right and visa-versa very fast. The object had orange, green and blue lights that seemed to rotate as if the object was spinning. I called my son into the room so that he could see it and we watched as this object went from left to right as it ascended upwards into the sky. I ran into another room to get my digital camera so that I could get a photo, but my security alarm sounded and so I was distracted by trying to turn it off. The security company called to verify my password. By the time everything had calmed back down, I ran outside with my camera, but could not focus in on the object. By this time it was high up so I tryed focusing with the camera but it just disappeared. In our area, there are planes that are seen on any given night, since we live about 35 to 40 miles northeast of the airport, but make no mistake, this was no plane, no helicopter!!! There is no machine that I know of that could fly as spastic as this thing!!! The weird thing is that when my alarm sounded it was not even set!!! I must tell you that my alarm has done this in the past and without reason. I found it very strange that it sounded at the very moment I picked up my camera!!
