The following written confession was submitted via email:

At 4am on 12/19 I stepped outside for work and saw three massive balls of light formed into a triangle. 2 yellow and one reddish orange. It was too dark to tell if it was an entire craft.. but the lights flew in complete sync with each other. The lights were each, roughly the size of a vehicle. It made zero noise as it hovered and then flew over the ridge line of the mountains surrounding my neighborhood. It illuminated the entire mountainside in a brilliant way. The craft itself, if it was that, took up half of a city block. Insane. Now im reverting back to being 5 years old and scared to look out my windows. Its my best course of action. Safety first.

I took this picture from where i was standing when i saw it. I did a google maps distance measurement. The craft was roughly 300 yards wide. Give or take 50 yards.
