On the night of february 8, 2018, i was inside the house watching tv with my wife when i received a text from a friend at 8:34 pm which said, to go outside and tell me what you see. my wife and i went outside and looked up. when i first stepped outside, i heard dogs barking at a distance to the west of us, which made me look up toward that direction. i noticed that the stars were being blocked by something, then they reappeared. i could tell the object was moving southwest because of the stars blocking out and reappearing. i could not tell the shape of the object for sure, but the width was a good 100 foot. i wonder if there were 2 objects because there were 2 stars toward the center of the width of the object, which seemed to black out and come back. i asked my wife if she saw what i was seeing which was moving southwest. i looked at my wife to see which direction she was looking and i asked her, “did you see what i saw?” and that’s what we always do to verify with each other. by the time i looked back up, the object was heading into the treeline. my wife and i realized later that night that a couple of tv shows we were recording at the time we were outside, had stopped recording for about 3-4 minutes. the next day we visited our friend who called us and shared our sightings stories. my background is i am an avid rock hound, retired from the sheet metal industry.
