Luke M. and his friend Jeff were playing basketball in the parking lot of Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church when they had a most unusual experience. 

Luke was preparing to take another picture when he suddenly, without knowing it, took a step to the left to see something strange in the sky. The basketball goal was facing north and Luke was facing south. He was puzzled by what he saw and tried to call out to Jeff, but was obviously in shock. 

He saw a V-shaped figure of four angel/butterfly/moth-shaped creatures flying across the sky. They flew like birds or like fighters in a V-wing formation: one to the left of the formation, two to the right, and one in the middle or front. They were perfectly positioned at an equal distance from each other for the entire time. Maybe they were the size of Lear Jets or maybe a Boeing 747 (! ) and were at an angle of 45 to 50 degrees above the horizon. They flew perfectly south, away from the church, without gaining or losing altitude. 

He saw them for a total of 10 to 15 seconds. The figures resembled large butterflies, made entirely of light, light yellow in color. The main witness was sure that he saw four "angels".

Luke M. and his friend Jeff were playing basketball in the parking lot of the Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church when they had a most unusual experience. Luke was getting ready to take another shot when he suddenly stepped left, unknowingly, to see something strange in the sky. The basketball goal faces north, and Luke was facing south. He was puzzled as to what he saw and tried to call Jeff but he was apparently in shock. He saw a V-formation of four angel/butterfly/moth-shaped things flying through the sky. They were flying like birds or as fighter jets do in a V-wing formation, with one on the left of the formation and two on the right and one in the middle or the front. They were perfectly ordered in equal distance from each other for the entire time. They were maybe the size of Lear Jets or maybe a 747 (!) and were at a 45 to 50 degree angle above the horizon. They flew perfectly south, away from the church, not gaining or losing altitude. He saw them for a total of 10 to 15 seconds. The figures resembled large butterflies made out completely of light, light yellow in color. The main witness felt convinced that he had seen four “angels”.
