"It
stayed completely still for a bit, and then it started
to rise back up in the sky toward the east. When it moved,
it had a brilliant tail of light that followed it. It
had a very bright light on its tip. The two base corners
had dimmer lights, one of which seemed to be turned off.
It made no noise and was fairly close, so I should have
heard something if it was an aircraft."

Description and Details:
"Myself
and three others were walking home from a park behind
an abandoned store. I was walking and talking to this
guy beside me, and we were joking around. My friend was
walking pretty far a head of us with her boyfriend."
"Her
boyfriend had mentioned just a moment before about seeing
a light, and then dismissed it to walk with his girlfriend.
This left myself and the guy I was walking with a good
30 feet (maybe a little more) behind them. The guy next
to me mentioned something flying above us, so I looked
up. At first glance, it looked like a plane, or maybe
even a falling star."
"But
as I looked at it, I realized it was moving too slow to
be a plane or falling star. Then, as it was 'falling'
toward the west, it stopped. It stayed completely still
for a bit, and then it started to rise back up in the
sky toward the east. When it moved, it had a brilliant
tail of light that followed it. It had a very bright light
on its tip (what I am going to call the nose or head of
the object). The two base corners had dimmer lights, one
of which seemed to be turned off. The middle (belly of
object) was hard to make out because it was dark. With
the lights, I could kind of make out some kind of shape
in the middle of the triangle, but couldn't see it too
clearly."
"Then,
as we crossed the main street, I turned around and around
to try and find it again, but it was gone. It made no
noise and was fairly close, so I should have heard something
if it was an aircraft. The entire event took anywhere
from 5 minutes to maybe 8, at most. I'm not sure if my
friend and her boyfriend saw it, as they were talking
to one another, but I know the guy that I was walking
with saw it, he seemed as amazed as I was. It seemed to
be observing things below; it was diffidently not a normal
airplane, or helicopter."
