| Remarks | could not believe what I was saw, Westover Air Force base( Chicopee, Ma) is very near I'm curious if they seen something (I think they must have) I've seen shooting stars, yet this was much different and seem so close. I was amazed I didn't hear any noise. I Would Like to know is there any others that have seen this (Westover had to) please let me know thanks |
