We saw a ball of light that was a lot larger than a star in the southwest sky. it appeared to be high and from our vantage would have measured a quarter to a half-inch long. it changed shapes and colors to some observers. we viewed it through our binoculars. two witnesses saw it as an inverted pyramid, two saw it as round shape, and two who watched it longer saw it change shapes and colors as the binoculars were being passed around. at times it looked like a circle with a lot of flashing lights on its surface. at other times it looked oval. at one point, it split into two semicircles with a bar in the middle. one observer thought it was moving extremely slower toward us in a northwesterly pattern, but if so, it moved so slowly that the others thought it was stationary. we first noticed it around 7:30 pm and continued watching until 8:00 pm. we checked again at around 8:30 pm and it was still there. we checked again and at 9:30 pm and it was gone.
