4 silent craft in close formation, and real low!

At the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis in the campground in front of Bikini Beach.

4 silent crafts in very close formation and very low flew over at high speed. They were barely visible with only a glow, and so close it looked like they were only one craft.

One craft on the left side broke off from the others straight to the left.

Was like a fighter jet formation buzzing the campground, but silent and way fast!

Sorry about the confusing date, you got it correct though it was the 9th of this month.

I also saw a bright light just sitting in the sky like a real bright “star” and then it started moving slowly down towards the horizon.

This was on the 7th, a couple of nights before I saw the formation, the formation was just so awesome I had to look online and see if I could find any one posting about it, that’s when I found your site.

I spottted this one at the house we were were renting at the house address listed below from my post in Sturgis.

I watch the sky all the time and see plenty of satellites and this didn’t follow the normal path of any I have seen. Usually they just go straight out and disappear out of sight getting dimmer and dimmer, not down towards the horizon like this one.

I recorded it but the file is too big to email on here, can I send you a sendspace link for you to download it? Not sure if you are familiar with there service but it lets you upload larger files and then I can send you a link to download. Or if you have another way let me know.

Thanks,
((name deleted))
