11 lights on unexplained object hovering for several seconds silently close up.A single object about a half mile away or less to the east was hovering in mid air 400 feet off the ground. It was flat on bottom with a subtle curved dome top. They were elegant lines along the length of it with a size of a few hundred feet based on my perception. It had 6 white lights along the lateral axis that slowly alternated on an off. 5 red lights along the top 'dome' shape that changed to white and green before a 90* turn to the south. The object then slowly moved south and vanished. I walked about 300 yards towards where it was to see past a tree but it was not there. I remained outside for about an hour and fifteen minutes after with no luck of a second sighting. It made absolutely no noise, and hovered for about 2 minutes from when I first noticed it. My first thought was a plane, but after watching for a few seconds I noticed the abnormal lights and the lack of movement. It was large and readily visible with the lights showing clearly as 6 indep! endent white, and 5 red. There was no mistake that this was not an airplane or helicopter. I can't possibly guess what to call it besides 'UFO'
