Group of four points of light moving in a deliberate and manner unconventional for aircraft or satellites Sighting Friday 4/28/06 @ 9:35P Location Reno, NV (39.525 Lat, 119.777 Long) Witnessed by husband and wife Facing South-West I noticed nearly directly overhead four bright points of light of equal intensity in shape of square parallelogram spaced possibly 0.25-0.5 degrees Initial brightness 1-2 orders of magnitude greater than any other star in that part of the night's sky Color similar as other stars and constant (other than fading intensity noted below) Absolutely no other physical features were discernible Absolutely no sound observed Points of light then changed positions several times in a smooth manner relative to each other in a pattern similar to a shell game, then deliberately aligned into a line of four abreast, then finally into four in a row before fading from vision while moving North - North-West at what appeared to be a constant speed on the order of but slightly slower than that of an orbital satellite. During the first part of the observation the group of lights passed through a portion of the sky that was brightly illuminated vertically by the exterior lights of a nearby large hotel and resulted in causing the lights to appear to shimmer (similar to atmospheric distortion) as they crossed the cone of light. Objects observed for a duration of approximately 45 seconds (from 90 degrees to approximately 45 degrees above the horizon) Group intensity faded uniformly as objects moved in a Northerly direction until no longer visible Approximately 3-4 minutes later a solo object (similar point of light but intensity 2-3 orders of magnitude lower) followed same track as first group but at a somewhat higher speed. Object disappeared within approximately 10-15 seconds Observer (author) has Masters degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering with experience in orbital vehicles and orbital mechanics and is a sworn peace officer.

Sighting Report
Occurred : 3/23/2006 19:25 (Entered as : 03/23/06 19:25) Reported: 3/24/2006 7:08:42 AM 07:08 Posted: 5/15/2006 Location: Las Vegas, NV Shape: Oval Duration:2 – 3 minutes
Yellow Orange oval ring seen over the Northwest Las Vegas valley. At around seven twenty PM, I was taking out the trash and happened to look to the east sky. Above the houses I noticed what appeared to be an oval shaped ring in the sky. All I could see is the outline, which was bright, and nothing inside of the oval. After a while (45 secs maybe?), the object begin to travel south (to my left) staying at roughly the same altitude. As it moved forward and to my left, it would advance and then double back slightly. It did this 4 or 5 times, and then stopped in midair. It began to grow in size, and I realized that the object was getting closer. Not willing to put myself in danger, as I was the only one around that I could see, I went inside. I came back out a few minuets later, and it was gone. I live in the flight path of both an air force base and an airport, and I see helicopters and military planes all the time. This object did not have any running lights like you would see on a helicopter or low flying plane, and it was all one color, a yellow orange glow. The object did not change its orientation to me much. The ring was thickest at the bottom left corner (to the north), and was thinnest at the top right corner (south) the object had two clearly distinct circles or spheres on the bottom left hand corner of the ring. These looked like beads on a necklace, and I could tell the object was facing me the same way because the circles stayed in nearly same position on the ring. I tried to see how big it was, and the ring would fit inside of my little finger. There were other aircraft, in the vicinity, but they did not seem to be chasing the object. If anything they were flying the flight path to the airport. I was the only one that I know that saw the object, and I have never seen anything like it before. I did not hear any sound nor were there any weird effects.
