Witness Testimony

"At about 10:20pm on Sept 3, 2015, I was just about to open our back door to step out and smoke, when I noticed a loud roar coming from outside, not unlike the roar of a jet. I thought it must be a low flying jet, which would be fairly unusual, but not unheard of. I opened the door to look out and the roar was much louder and it started to shake our house slightly. As I walked out onto the deck, I looked straight up above me and saw what looked to be a light colored hexagon flying above our house from due west to due east. It had orange lights on each of the front and rear diagonals. The orange lights basically made a square. It had one very large red blinking light in the center of it. I estimated its altitude to be somewhere between 500 and 1000 feet. I ran inside to grab my binoculars and my wife came out with me and also observed the object. It was really loud. It moved in a straight line very slowly west to east. We watched it until it disappeared and was too small to see, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes total. "
