Columbia - 12-27-09

I was with my family in a vacation center in a touristic town called Melgar in the department of Tolima in Colombia, in which there is also a Colombian Air Force base, called Tolemaida.

We were going out of our cabin to a pool afternoon when my cousin looked at the sky and saw a brilliant dot, and, at first jokingly, he said, "Look, a UFO!"

Then we all looked at the sky and saw this first brilliant dot, after that we noticed it was not alone, there were at least 3 more objects, for a total of 4 simultaneous objects.

At first we thought of them as balloons, but this idea was soon controverted because each object moved independendently from each other or the presumed direction of the wind.

They made formations, triangles, lines, and one of the objects seemed to change their color from white to red and back to white.

At a certain point during the observation, we noticed up to 5 simultaneous objects, we were not frightened at all, but we were curious about what was happening and what made this so interesting is that a similar phenomenon was observed in Bogota that was reported by several media.

I was with my photo camera and as we observed, I took some photos of the objects, unfortunately we could not take a photograph where simultaneous objects were observed, because they looked white and made so little contrast with the sky to be noticed.

Then I tried to take a photo with hi amplification, and we all were surprised when we saw that this object was a silver octahedron, then we realized it was no balloon at all, because in every other picture that I have taken or seen from a balloon you could see a basket.

We continue observing the object on our road to the pool, when we get there it was still visible but some clouds started to cover it, until it wasn't visible at all.
