Location: atlanta how many 15: 500-2000 yds extended description of your encounter: having seen the phenomenon many nights in a row a friend and i decided to mount spotting scopes cameras and high powered laser pointers to tripods in an effort to document the ongoing phenomenon in the atlanta area. the closest object appear to be 300 to 500 yards away . as many as 15 to 20 objects were visible in the area and generally moving in a southwest direction. objects were obeserved to be stationary at times and then moving rapidly at others . the objects were recorded as they responded to a blue laser pointer the total time of the encounter was about two hours it would be noted pointing digital or optical lenses directly on the objects made focusing difficult. once we used the laser was used one lowered greatly in altitude and approached to close proximity to us. it was star like and we trained the laser on it. that's the footage. while we were busy with that one we found others had come in low behind us as if observing and displaying a pack hunting character. strange days indeed. i would not and as in the pics it seemed to be able to effect the laser in a strange way at times .
