Then she lost sight of the object.Was talking to husband on her cell phone to inform him of the sighting. Told him to go outside and look.Then about 8:45 PM she was headed West on SE 29th Street saw a bright white ball of light where the object had been. Lost sight of light due to trees. Apparent size of light was golf ball to baseball size at arm's length.Both parties observed extensive helicopter traffic in the area on the 19th & 20th during evening hours. One helicopter was shining its light horizontally into the sky.Husband:Went outside with his son and took video at home. Observed the lights for about five minutes. Lights moved from NNE to the SW. Moved along semi-circle line in a steady motion. Disappeared over the horizon. The lights seemed to be on an object that was flying horizontally.
