At around 2 a.m. this morning, me and a few friends walked out to a field by my cousin's neighborhood to observe the Perseid meteor shower. We saw a few meteors go bye, but after a few minutes something else caught our eyes. In an otherwise starless area of the sky there was a light resembling a star, except it moved ever so slightly, hovering about. At this point we became rather paranoid. I took my video camera out of my bag and zoomed in on the object. It was emanating a rapidly changing sequence of colors and alternating patterns every few seconds. We stared at this light for a solid five minutes before deciding that we should leave. On the way back to my cousin's house, we noticed that another light had appeared next to the first. The original one blinked, then the other, then the first one again, like they were communicating. We made it back to the house and tried to rationalize the situation by watching "Cosmos with Carl Sagan". At around 4 a.m. two people from the original group of 4 went to go hang out on the back porch. When they came inside, they said that out of the clouds, one of the ufo's returned. One of them claims that the object moved in sequence with the movements he made with his eyes. Those who were still awake spent the next few hours restless and disturbed, waiting for daylight.
