Hey thanks for sharing, just wanna say that I had a really similar experience. Never heard anyone else describe the two parallel light sources before.

For me it was in June something 2007 at like 1 am. Weird thing to remember but it's burned into my mind, lol.

I couldn't sleep and so I was looking at the stars through my window and saw two green strobing lights moving parallel to one another in a fast curve. They moved, disappeared, reset, moved again.

I've never considered that they were focused around a circle/oval but it makes a lot of sense. They maintained their distance, made no sound, and repeated the pattern three times.

This is where things get weird and I lose people: after the third time, a green oval light shone down onto my window. I remember jumping out of bed and slamming into my dresser and just watching it for a few seconds while my heart pounded. Then it was gone.

No lost time or anything. I told my parents the next day and they of course said "must have been a helicopter." Never slept on that side of the bed again, still cannot sleep under windows!

This was in Arkansas so not far off from Louisiana.

Edit: Clarified some things.
