It was daylight and was a peaceful day, it is hard to believe that someone played with lasers. But anyway, could be an explanation.

I don't see how it could be a laser light show in broad daylight. What you saw sounds more "Fortean" than traditional UFO.

Well, I don't know how the traditional UFOs look like but the circles were rotating in a mechanical way.
Seemed that there was a machinery behind their movements and not a perfect holographic image.
But in the same time they didn't seem to be made of any material but of pure energy.
I know this in great detail because they weren't too far away.

are you sure it was something that was flying? And not just a possible reflection from 1 lit cigarette bud bounced 3 times by light off other objects/mirror types onto the reflective surface near you?

Thought I'd chime in here. I've seen a few things I can't explain still. One thing borders an explanation but the timing doesn't. I live in a town in England, not big, not small. No airports etc nearby. I'm outside a lot due to liking astronomy. The weirdest thing I've seen was like a triangle shape of red lights together, almost like tons of LED's together. That went across part of the sky as a perfect shape quickly and disappeared within a few seconds. I'll class that as a UFO considering I cannot for the life of me explain what that was. I'm not saying it was aliens though. Second thing would be what I assumed to be an iridium flare and the first one that looked more like fire. It was around 6-6:30pm so it was dark but not overly dark. It started out small like any satellite would do, and got bigger/brighter, again like any satellite would do when it flares. But, this happened again from the exact same spot it had started from and then seemed to turn and double back almost and then disappeared. Checking the satellite routes for that exact time, nothing was on path for where I saw it. And for it to have happened so quickly after the first time, it makes it confusing as to how it could of been a satellite. No noise, no flashing lights, so a plane etc would be ruled out. For the record, I hadn't been drinking or taken any drugs. There's so much that is unknown to us, there's no definite yes or no. I like seeing what people have seen/what they believe it to be/their theories. I don't really like people who come along and think it's all BS just because they didn't see it or haven't ever seen anything strange. Yes, most of the time there is a logical answer to what's been seen, but there are times when those answers fail to meet logic. Looking back at ancient wall paintings etc, you have to admit it's very strange to see the same things coming up constantly, and then throughout all of history. All extremely interesting stuff to read about.

Thanks nexus_blueliner, not all unusual things that people see are machinery flown by extraterrestrials. There are "Fortean" things that just don't fit into neat categories, and of course there are things that are probably "black ops", like flying triangles.
AND there are things that have been investigated and found to be unexplainable. Such as the following.

It has been said by wiser men than myself that if all the things reported as UFOs by people are the result of people's imaginations, then that in and of itself needs to be investigated.

The flying saucers that people describe seem more like ordinary man-made spaceships than alien spaceships coming from another galaxy.
Even the description of aliens sounds puerile and has nothing to do with science and how the laws of the universe work:

Most probably we are more advanced technologically than we know and the truth is hidden from us.
But it is very unlikely that they are really alien saucers.

I've done a lot of reading about SR-71 Blackbird spy plane. There were sightings of it and the military let people identify it as a UFO of course. They had the fastest airplane in the world and weren't about to reveal that. I've long thought that the 'flying triangles' sound like black ops top secret spy planes.
