Vehicle-like objects with morphing lights in remote valley

October 2023·valley, northwest on rural highway then dirt road heading north/northeast·other·unresolved

Two law enforcement agents pursued multiple luminous objects that appeared to mimic vehicles, including headlights and a box-truck shape, moving across rugged terrain with impossible maneuverability in October 2023.

“At approximately 1845 hours, I observed two circular orb-like lights appearing to be headlights of a vehicle to the south approximately five to seven miles away. The headlights sat still in the valley while we sat and continued to observe the area. At approximately 1900 hours, I observed a row of red lights appearing to hover approximately 15 degrees above the southern horizon (I do not recall how the lights entered the area). The lights were consistent with the glow of a taillight and appeared to be arranged in a triangular formation or attached to unobservable vehicle of some sort; they appeared to cover the area of a football field, hovering over a significant portion of the horizon.”
