Details of Incident:
Summary: Noticed a very large, slow moving, reddish tinted object in the northern sky. It
appeared to have 2 smaller objects flying around it. From my point it appeared that the object
was about 150 ft up and approximately 1/2 to 1 mile long. No noticeable lights.
At about 2 pm, I noticed a _very_ large object north of my apartment. It appeared to have a
reddish hue, and was moving fairly slow, but steadily towards the east. I then noticed two
smaller objects circling around it and managed to see one of the objects through my 4.5"
telescope. Although I couldn't keep it in the field of view long, it appeared to be somewhat
like an airplane, but more like "ship" shaped. From the fact that these two objects were flying
around the main object, and I live close to an airport and see air traffic all the time, the
main craft must have been anywhere from 1/2 to 1 mile long. I could only see the edge and it
was fairly thin, probably 40-50 feet. Anyway, it was huge. I would like to know if anyone else
in the area reported anything. The thought occurred to me that it could have been one of those
advertising banners, but I did not see anything pulling it and on second thought it was far too
big to be a banner.((Name deleted)) am a computer artist, amateur astronomer, business owner
