On the evening of September 30, 2010, I was at Snider High School, filming the marching band for a video project I am working on. I was also with my friend.
It was around 7:11 PM, and as I was filming, a few of the band members point at something in the sky in the distance above the school to the west. The sun was setting in that direction. It was a fairly bright stationary object.
I got curious and decided to zoom in all the way on it. Let me also point out that I was using a Sony HandyCam DCR-SR42 camcorder with 40x optical zoom and 2000x digital zoom.
It was an object with 2 lights, and as I watched it the lights would flash green and red over and over. Since I was zoomed in all the way, the camera would shake with every tiny motion I took, so I decided to deploy the tripod I was using.
As I was messing with they tripod, I tried to draw up an explanation to what the object was, but I drew a blank. After my friend and I fumbled with the tripod, we lost sight of the object for just a few seconds until it finally reappeared in a different location in the sky.
I zoomed in again and it was the same object. After about a good minute or so, the object disappeared.
About 2 minutes later we saw another object, but this one I did not video tape, this object was in motion and was flying around in a smooth pattern, staying in the same part of the sky.
