Charlotte, North Carolina (United States)

Sighted on Sunday 11. September 2011

Shape: Circle, Sphere, Star-like | Duration: 00:05:00
Source:

I, along with 5 others, were sitting on a rooftop in the early morning hours of Sept 11, 2011. I looked up at the sky in a Northern direction and noticed how clear the sky was that night. I was looking directly at the Bank of America Corporate Center building in downtown Charlotte. The reason I noticed it was clear was because there were many stars above/behind the crown (top) of the building. As I was looking in that direction, I noticed a "starlike" object that began to move. At first it moved in a straight line but it became quite clear to me that it wasn't an airplane because of the change of speed. That's when I asked the others, "What is that?" The light then stopped for a second or less and then reversed direction. It continued straight for a short period and would change direction again, sometimes briefly stopping. About this time another one appeared and one of the other parties on the rooftop said "now there's two of them". As they moved they would disappear behind the crown of the building and reappear on the other side, so it was difficult to tell how far away they were. They really did look just like the stars that were in the sky behind them, except for the nature of their movements. They would both continue to move in this fashion for a couple more minutes before they finally just disappeared. It couldn't have been a airplane, helicopter or search lights because of the movements they made and the sky was clear so they weren't reflections.
