The story of how we got involved with this sighting goes back to a man who wishes only to identified as "Steve". Steve noticed some very unusual orange lights showing up around 9:00 pm on March 10, 1997. Steve shot videotape for 20 minutes that night of these strange lights. He then searched the internet looking for help and information. He decided to E-mail UFO Round Up about his sightings. UFO Round Up had sent out this information and was contacted by Bill Hamilton. Few people have any idea how much UFO Round Up played a roll in us being there and taping this. Bill had called me and asked if I wanted to go with him and investigate these nightly sightings. I agreed eagerly and brought my S-VHS camera, a 30x spotting scope, and a 500 mm spotting scope.
As we approached Steve's house we were greated by many of his neighbors and finally met Steve. He stated we had just missed it as he just had a sighting and videotaped it. We then watched some of the video he had shot on March 10, 11, 12, and 13th. I asked him to show us where he had taped these lights. Steve took us up on his balcony and pointed in the direction he spotted these objects.
Within 10 minutes we saw our first object. I ran to the car and Steve helped me gather my stuff and bring it back to his balcony. The orange object was still there when we got back and I videotaped it for a few minutes.
About 10 minutes later another orange object appeared and we documented this entire event on video as Bill watched some of it thru the spotting scope.

VIDEO(AVI)
The AVI is 2 minutes and 15 seconds long and is 2 meg. It contains about half of the video I
shot on March 13,1997. The clip was saved at 6fps to reduce file size so its a bit choppy.
