| Name | James D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was extremely bright and large as it slowly moved east to west over the Long Island Sound - it appeared to hesitate for a moment and than it headed north or almost straight up. it seemed as if it was going to collide with a plane that was heading south, but as the trajectory crossed the light was not as bright and it became apparent that the light was far from the plane. Glad, I found this sight - I thought it was a UFO because of the speed it travelled as it grew less brilliant and disappeared on the northern horizon. If anyone else saw this, please reply. it would go a long way toward my sanity and to know that I am not the only person that witnessed this event. I have never seen anything similar in my lifetime - I have never been abducted, nor have I ever made claims of seeing aliens, but this was there for sure! |
