I hadn't thought to report it but about a week after I had acquired a new prescription for glasses--so, my eyes were still adjusting--I let my dog outside to go potty when something caught my eyes: I am unsure what it was only that it had to have had a structure because there were stationary lights that seemed to be either pulsing, or there was some movement to it. What was so unusually to me is that, considering how close it was to me (I have half a block from the edge of town) and how low it was flying (just above homes and tree tops), that there was no sound! It wasn't moving extraordinarily fast, but it was moving faster (almost "gliding" if you will) than a helicopter and a plane would have been capable. But, what plane or helicopter would travel so low, or so late at night with nothing to light their path? It traveled to fast and was obscured by other buildings in town and other trees that I could not grad my camera in the hopes of capturing any evidence of what I saw.
