SIGHTING: FAIRMONT, WEST VIRGINIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"On my way home from grocery shopping, driving north on I-79 in Marion County, WV. At 9:35, passing small regional airport, saw a large formation of lights moving very slowly from NW side to East. Formation was approximately 500 feet or less from ground, moving approximately 20-30mph. It passed directly over my vehicle as I slowed; I pulled onto the exit ramp, stopped on the berm, got out to observe further and it was gone.The entire event lasted less than a minute, closer to thirty seconds.The formation was like a 300 foot string of 6 lights with a set of 4 in the center like a square, traveling along it's long axis. No wing lights were visible.I travel past this airport daily and nightly, and am familiar with the small craft it can handle. I am also familiar with the military aircraft we have occasionally. This was totally unfamiliar, not a transport, not a C-130, not an Osprey. >> . . . :: . . . >> (arrows are direction of travel)"
