Full Report Text:
Multiple Bars of Lights Hovering in the Sky Over House Sometime between 8 and 9:00 P.M. the night of February 20, I went outside with my dog.
I looked up at the sky and saw several (perhaps 5 or 6) objects which at first I thought were airplanes. Just killing time waiting for my dog, I studied them and they had lights at regular intervals along the side or perhaps bottom. The moon did not provide much light but what I observed appeared to be "bars," long and rectangular, with lights equidistant along the side.
As I stood there, I realized these objects in the sky were not moving at all but were totally stationary. I watched a plane fly over but the "bars" were exactly where they were when I first saw them, perhaps 20 minutes before. They were not aligned in any pattern but scattered randomly overhead.
As someone who firmly believes in UFO's, I was slow to accept that I might be seeing them. As I said, I first thought they were large passenger planes and that I was seeing the windows lit up; however, they were too high up to be such. I waited for them to move but they did not.
A little frightened since they were in the sky right above our house, I took my dog and went in. Thus, I don't know how long they were out there, but I was out watching them about 25 minutes. The location of our house is Lyme, CT, right by the Connecticut river.
This is a remote, wooded area and very dark at night. The only light in the sky at night comes from the moon or rarely an airplane. As an aside, our heating furnace ceased to work during that night and it turns out the motor was blown.
Probably not related because it was old, but a strange coincidence.
Full Report Text:
A steady, hovering object flashing a silver-green light over treetops in daylight. A few weeks ago my father told me he saw a bright green object he originally thought was a bird. His property has a broad, majestic view of a forested hillside.
This “bird” was cruising at a steady pace, very evenly, over the forest, and flashing a silver and green light. Eventually it went down into the trees and disappeared. I made fun of my father for this UFO.
But then today we were eating lunch, overlooking the hillside, and I saw a small, steady, hovering object flashing a silver and green light, just over the treeline about 500 meters away. It was too small and quiet to be a plane or helicopter, too steady and odd to be a toy plane or weather balloon. The only thing I could think of was it could be a surveillance drone like the military uses.
But that would (hopefully) be way out of place in Lyme. The object continued flashing its light—silver-green, silver-green—and hovering in that oddly steady manner, and cruised off in a semi-slow pace until I lost sight of it.
