A man & his son watched 4 cilinders with lights throuigh a telescope

Witness was 12 years old and lived on a farm one mile outside of Chrisney, Indiana.  His father woke him up and asked him to get out his telescope because he wanted him to see something in the west.  To his amazement he saw four cylinders in a row, each was higher in the air next to one another.  They also had lights that went left to right in the center of the craft.  The lights flashed up in the air, but when one went down behind the trees it would turn its lights off and land the craft.  His father told him that they were back at the stripper pit where their was water.  All four were higher in succession from left to right.  Later, when the ship on the right came up out of the trees, it would turn its lights back on.  Then the next ship on the left center went down and turn its light out.  This went on for about an hour. They observed this in the telescope and got a good look at the craft.  There was still some light in the horizon so they could make out the shapes of the craft, which were cigar shape or saucer shape.  Later, the craft that was high in the air just rose up and headed west at the same time until it was out of sight.  Later all four left in like manner.  
The witnesses never went to where the objects had landed so they didn't know it they had left traces or not. (MUFON)
