After about 10 seconds, they were out of sight, leaving again with a loud crash.

The next day, I asked other residents if they had seen or heard anything strange, some of them telling me about a similar experience with my own. 

There were three objects. At first they seemed to be one, until I looked closer. They were bright white, without any other color or change. Each object would be at least 100 feet (30 m) above the ground. I'm guessing about 25 feet (7.5 m) deep.

The loud hum that I thought they were emitting occurred shortly before I noticed them. They moved in a perfect strait formation from the east for about 2 and a half minutes, stopped completely when I turned south for 15 seconds, and then moved very quickly in a zigzag formation to the east.

I witnessed this for at least 10 before they completely disappeared.
