Full Description of Event/Sighting: I had just been picked up from my friends get together at his house, and I ended up leaving at 11:30pm. It takes about 5 minuets to get to the highway turnoff from his place, and my mom and I were about 30 seconds from pulling up to the light to turn onto the highway and heading home, but we saw something in the distance of the night sky, so we pulled over, shut the car off, turned the lights of, and sat in silence, to hear if they made a sound.
There were 3 very, very bright lights, two of them looked like they were chasing each other in circles (very small circles) and they did about 8 loops, then immediately stopped. As we watched them, my mom and I noticed how slow they were moving.
The speed that they were going was nothing that can be matched to a known existing aircraft, the 3rd object was moving as slow as the other 2, but only after about 3 minuets the object stopped and for the rest of the time we were there and it was like it was watching us, very strange.
The two constantly moving craft soundlessly moved along the tree tops from where I could see they were. They went dim, then brightened back up again, and after about half an hour those 2 disappeared. The third craft stayed in the same place as it had been, prior to the disappearance of the other 2.
They all had odd patterns of flashing lights, nothing I've ever seen on a known aircraft, and there were very large amounts of light coming out of the forest where I was sure they disappeared into. When they would disappear, we saw what seemed to be sparks and white fire coming off them as they descended in the trees.
By the way, when we first arrived at the sighting spot, they were very high up in the sky, I'm not sure how high, but they were very high up and also before they moved along the trees, Two of them moved straight down and we figured out that they must have been over some farms, or the forest seeing this is all there is. Ladysmith is 10 km south, and Nanaimo is I don't know how far away Cassidy is.
This is what my mother and I saw last night and we sure haven't seen anything like this before.
