Witness and grandfather observed two black/grey objects appear suddenly above the road approximately 15-20 feet in front of them, hovering 15-30 feet above the ground and spinning. Objects had a bubble-like top with an edge and multicolored lights around the edge. They hovered for a few minutes, then moved slowly down the street following the road downhill, maintaining the same altitude above the road surface. When they reached the bottom of the hill, they shot off into the sky at great speed and disappeared. The sighting was also reportedly covered on local news.

- All of a sudden two objects appeared in front of us just above the road which was about 15 to 20 feet in front of us... they were hovering above the ground maybe 15 to 30 feet, and spinning. I could tell they had a bubble like top with an edge and multicolored lights around the edge.
