Three Strange Multicolored Lights - Submitted by Laura Leita

OK here goes. I was about 12 years old and my parents were having company over. I found it particularly boring and was taking a nap in my room. I woke up all of a sudden with the strongest craving to go outside I ever had. I do get stir crazy sometimes and just want to be out doors but this was strong enough to wake me up. This was about8 or 9PM in the late summer but it was completely dark. I threw on my shoes and ran outside and immediately looked up.

There were three lights in the sky. I am unsure if there was a shape or structure behind the lights as that was all I could see. There was one larger light with a smaller one on each side all in a straight line. The colors changed from red, green, blue, yellow etc. It was almost as if the three light were blinking code at each other. I watched them all blink these different colors for a moment and then all of a sudden the 2 small lights zipped off in opposite directions. They took off very fast.

The larger one hovered but this time with just a yellow light that stayed constant. It started just slowly floating across the sky and I was so curios I got on my bike to follow it. I remember thinking how cool this was and at such a young age actually hoping that it would land or do something interesting. I do not know of any natural flying craft that has that many colors and behaves like that. Unfortunately it started drifting perpendicular to the streets I live on and since I cannot ride a bike through houses I soon lost sign of it. Still have no clue what it was or why I happened to run out at that very moment. As far as the lights, each color was not a different light in itself coming from another part of the craft. There was just one pinpoint light that changed colors itself in the same location.
