SIGHTING: COROLLA, NC (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At approximately 9:45, while looking toward the sound side, I observed a small, bright reddish-orange orb shaped light rising up over the trees. Shortly after observing the first light, a second light rose up from behind the trees. I would estimate that they were at least a mile to the west of my location. Both objects didn't behave like planes, or helicopters. They moved more like drones. After about 1 minute, I then got my wife to come out onto the deck to see the lights since I had never observed lights like these in the sky at night. We then observed them for about 3 more minutes. The lights hovered and moved about in the same area of the sky during the entire time. At times, they even were lined up perfectly with one another. Eventually, one of the lights "disappeared". A few seconds later the other light vanished too. We never heard any sound coming from them. Perhaps the oddest part is that a few seconds after the second light vanished, two planes flew through the same area of the sky from the south. Based on their close formation, I believe the two planes may have been military. "
