Location: Apex, NC
Shape: Circle
Duration: several minutes
Characteristics: There were lights on the object
Large floating and moving slowly above the tree line, lights arranged in an hexagon or circle, seemed solid but was dark out.

On Oct,27 2022 I was driving home from Kohls department store. I was traveling on West William Street towards Apex Peak Way. I got in the left turn lane to make my left turn and as I was waiting, I looked over to my chiropractor’s office ( on the left ), no reason, just kind of daydreaming. As I was looking around I noticed a bright lights hovering in the night sky caught my eye. I would say about 10-12 lights. It was behind the parking lot area ( address provided). It was barely moving and rather low , just above the tree line. At first, I thought it was weird and I couldn’t process what it was, so I kept watching. What I was seeing didn’t fit into the box of what I know to be in the sky. It had too many lights and they were arranged in a circle. The object seemed to tilt/ pivot (this is how I could see the shape as I was looking up at the “ bottom”) and move very little then it started moving slowly. It was a large/ huge object that had blackness between the lights , I tried to make out the shape and it was very hard to be exact on what I was seeing. For a second I thought I saw angular solid between the lights, but I can’t be sure.
It seemed to be a hexagon or a circle, I say hexagon because it seemed as if some of the lights were evenly spaced out and on a linear line. The size is hard to describe but I will try. Larger than an airplane but not much bigger. As if you drew a circle ( or hexagon) around an airplane and lined it with lights. However big a commercial airplane is , I’m not sure , but that is close to it.
I couldn’t figure it out what I was seeing, and I went through all the possibilities. I was in awe of it and watched it move away quietly. Well, it seemed quiet as I have easily heard plane flying low in my car and I wasn’t hearing anything. At that moment as it drifted away, I came to the conclusion it was either a cluster of drones or an UAP.
When I thought that it could be an UAP, I suddenly thought, I must get video so I can figure out this mystery. I raced to fallow it and I saw it again twice more on the left-hand side of the a Apex Peak way. It was still traveling so very low. I shot a video and all I got was a distant light…worthless. I kept driving around for the next ten minutes or so, in hopes of seeing again like the first time. If only I had the presence of mind to capture it on video when I first saw it, however, never in a million years would I think I would see such a thing in the sky that I could not explain.
I hope to solve this mystery. I don’t know if just anyone can call the aviation station, it must have been on someone’s radar. Also, I must mention, I recall ever seeing a plane fly that low that is or was that large. Usually planes ascend or descend , not hover around . I am convinced it was not a plane or helicopter. I have no idea what i saw tonight. I hope you can look into this, I hope other people wrote in too.
