Witness Testimony

"I was around the age of 10 and my dad had came out of the house to tell me and my 2 friends that it was time to go back home because it was late. then i noticed a orange object in the sky i said "look!, whats that?" everyone looked up and there was this stationary object/orb thing in the sky it looked like there was a vibrating small white orb in the middle of the object and around it was light yellow to light orange to orange to orange-red colours and it was just sitting stationary in the sky.(i'll just add that it was a clear night with hardly any clouds and loads of stars)then suddenly it disappeared and reappeared lower to the left from where the object originally was then stationary and again disappeared and reappeared this time bottom to the right of where it originally was, stationary then disappeared yet again and reappeared this time forward from where the object originally was, stationary it disappeared again! and reappeared where we originally seen it and was stationary and disappeared this time it didn't come back. this is when i realised it was moving in a triangular formation: center of the triangle, bottom left of the triangle, bottom right of the triangle, the tip of the triangle and the returned back to the center of the triangle. after we seen it the youngest of my friends just started crying because he was scared. there was no noise given off by the object."
