We were w watching fireworks, were to our East. I noticed
the UFo to the No othing to no one. I observed
it for 2 minutes silently eastward, then suddenly
reversed direction as cked u speed, then assuming its
original course again moved slowly upwards and out of
sight.
It was very large, and was with
a row of red lights at its perimeter.
The sky was clear, and somewhat lit up from the
fireworks. The UFo was about a mile away, at treetop level.
I don't claim that the UFO was extraterrestrial,
but its size and pattern of flight would Suggest that it
was not a conventionel craft.
