I went outside to my shed and noticed some lights moving oddly in the southern horizon at about dawn, at first I thought they were fireworks or something, so I called out to my wife who was painting a picture inside to come and see, just as I said that, one of the lights seem to have heard me and pin-pointed me out as it shot up in the air and headed directly straight toward me, it seem to throw off sparks as it came towards me, it got bigger as it came, within about four seconds it was hovering in front of my house and shed, I was amazed to see this that I just stood there and watched this thing, a short time later my wife came outside and said what is it, I said its a UFO and as I briefly looked at her I noticed that it lit up the front of the house with light, I tried to focus on what this light was attached to and just as my eyes focused on what looked like a blue/gray metal tail which sort of resembled a dragonfly's tail (without the wings) the light had a sort of mesh in front of it. after I guess about a minute or two this light shot up in the air again and headed east it got smaller and smaller and in about four seconds it was gone, the other lights followed it east and were gone in about the same time. There is a power station about five klm away in the direction in which thay came. I have seen UFO's in my area about five or six times since but I have never seen anything like this before.
