Approximately 8 pm on september 18 my stepson came into our apartment and til me our neighbor was watching some lights in the sky. i grabbed my binoculars and went out into my 2nd story balcony and looking into the southern sky i observed some pulsating lights in the distance. the object was approximately 2 miles away and at the altitude of a high flying helicopter. being color blind i'm not sure of the color of the lights. the object appeared at first to be hoovering but was actually moving slowly from east to west with no elevation change. i was to far away to hear any noise. my stepson joined me and we watched the object for another 10 minutes and then went inside. about 15 minutes later i came out and watched it for another few minutes until coming back inside my apartment making the total time of seeing about 45 minutes. an hour later when i walked my dog object was not in sight.
