Witness Testimony

"Zig-zagging lightsTwo lights were seen by myself and my Father,above water (sea inlet) they were approx 150-300 ft in the air and appeared about the size of dinner plates, they moved like no other vessel I have seen (zig-zagging and spiraling etc) The lights hovered now and then darted around randomly but in formation. One light gained terrific speed and disapeard from sight to return about 0ne minute later only to escort its accompanying light back out of sight. This encounter is like no other I have ever experienced, I thought of all the possibilities eg. remote helicopters (too fast) flares (too bright) aeroplane (monuvering too primitave) birds? (not likely) My experience is special to me, I have told very few others about it and swear that I am telling the truth."
