Duration: 10-15 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Metairie, LA, USA

Shape: Circle

very large 3 bright circles, 3 different colors, low in the sky

On or about November 28 I was sitting on my chair on my front porch around 6pm. It was a clear night; there were no clouds visible in the sky. About 5 minutes later I noticed 3 bright circles, one blue, one green, one burnt orange, appearing in the western sky. I observed these circles for about 10 - 15 seconds, then they shot off in a south easterly direction. I jumped up and ran to the end of my driveway to see if could still see them. There was no sight of the 3 objects. There is a tree about 30 feet tall. The objects were seen approximately 50 feet above this tree. In viewing the circular objects I had been able to see the top of the tree. Compared to the moon these objects were at least 10 times larger.

The next morning I saw search lights moving across the area where I had seen the 3 objects. These search lights continued to operate for the next 4 or 5 days. Possibly these objects had appeared on their radar, probably trying to confirm if they were still in the area.

This event occurred in Metairie, LA between West Napoleon Ave., the South I-10 Service Road, and Metairie Heights Ave., Gatehouse Apartment complex.
