Witness Testimony

"Sitting out on my front porch right before bed. I noticed object by sound thinking it was our life light helicopter as it is tourist season which is very typical as you know this happens in an attraction area. I thought it seemed awful early in season to start with life light but then realized there was a helicopter following a very bright white light. Also noticed 2 faint "star like" lights FAR above flying overhead simultaneously. Then the bright light disappeared and re-appeared in front of the helicopter. Called my son and they witnessed same thing right overhead as they were talking to me on the phone, I could hear the helicopter! AMAZING!"
