A "star" that started moving across the sky Watching for the meteor shower we had been patiently waiting for the stars to come out there was a few big stars to start out and later on at night one of the big stars that we thought was just a planet began to move very rapidly across the sky towards the moon zig-zagging from left to right as it went as soon as it started to pass the moon it got dimmer and dimmer until it vanished. The other one that was seen was very dim darting across the sky through the little dipper, this too was zig-zagging from left to right until it went behind a cloud and wasn't seen again.

Bright white light traveling perpendicular at an unbelievable speed across the tree line in the distance. I'm a High School student and was doing routine dishes at 630 am Thursday morning when I looked out the window in front of the sink to witness a rapidly moving bright white light had caught my attention. It was traveling east to west along the tree line in the distance at a high rate of speed.
I live on a large mountain and visually followed the light for approximately 3-5 seconds across the sky along the tree line in the distance until it disappeared out of sight. I'm still in awe at what I witnessed! I've seen many "falling" stars and this by all means was no falling star. This light was traveling straight without any angle.
The falling stars that I've seen "fall," as in decline or pitch down even slightly, this bright white light was moving perfectly perpendicular across the sky. The odd thing is that I remember talking to my Boyfriend and his Father over this past summer about an occurrence they witnessed several years ago in Sabattus. I believe it was Fall of 2008(estimating) They had said they were driving North up a large hill heading out of town on Route 126 in Sabattus when my Boyfriends father slammed on the brakes as they were cresting the hill as he heard my Boyfriend scream, "Oh my god Dad,.
Your gonna hit it." And in that split second they both said they saw the brightest of white lights zoom in & out of sight. My Boyfriend saw it first moving impossibly fast towards them at a high speed downward angle and when he screamed, still focused on it, his Father only caught a split second of it moving incredibly fast upward, as fast as his head and eyes could turn and follow it for that split second.
They both agreed it was no falling star.this light had changed directions from traveling at a downward pitch to instantly changing its di! rection to an upward angle. I remember them telling me how amazingly bright white and unbelievably fast it was.
They said it spooked them both and they remember it as if it were yesterday.

November 15th 2009, I stepped out of my mother’s small home in Litchfield Maine to smoke a cigarette. I usually stand on the porch itself but for some reason I decided to trek down the four steps onto the dirt drive way below. I lit my smoke and looked to the sky like I sometimes do and noticed a small blue star to the east.
Venus was clear tonight. As I stood there taking in the beauty of the stars something caught my vision. I looked almost precisely north to see a fairly odd ball of light moving in extremely bizarre and unrecognizable motions.
I stood in awe for at least twenty minutes watching the very graceful light dance around the sky, I am surely no pilot but I can most definitely recognize a passing plane or helicopter with ease. This I assure was neither. It changed colors from a light florescent white to a light blue and once in a while almost the color of the glow from a fire.
It maneuvered in and out of clouds at top notch speeds making turns I have never seen even jets make. Hair point turns around in circles and zig zags… As fast as I could hold my finger up to it and point swiveling my finger around, it moved. I realized I was the only witness, so I ran inside to get my sister.
She was skeptic of my claims at first until she stepped outside and witnessed it herself. She could not believe her eyes either! We both made sporadic phones calls; one of witch was to the local News Paper the Kennebec Journal whom witch had nothing to say but plenty to laugh about. My brother suggested I call the state police to document the incident, I obliged.
All the while this light continued to move extremely fast around the evening sky. My sister went in and out of the house as my eyes stayed affixed on the orb. It seemed to travel further then closer, so on and so forth.
One of the last times my sister went back inside I saw something very piculure, the one orb had split into two, both making similar sweeping patterns over a widespread area of the northern and eastern sky. By this time I had made my report with the police and they said someone would call me back. I went back inside to get another cigarette and my sister to see the now two lights above.
When we got back outside we looked up to see at least 4 other lights circling the sky. We watched this event for at least 30 more minutes. My sister returned inside and I followed.
I got a drink and received a call back from the police officer on duty saying he was busy but he would be there ASAP. I went back outside alone. This time it was back to just two lights twisting around.
One of them seemed very close. I could make out a disk shape siluette in the clouds with the lights illuminating from it. I pulled my phone out and use it as a video recorder, unfortunately it was the only piece of equipment I had.
I managed to capture the original disk of light but obviously on my phone it was a tiny ball of light. It moved around my screen as I held my phone as still as possible. I went back inside.
About 10 minutes later one officer pulled in the driveway across the street from us. I went out and yelled for him to get his attention. As he turned around I looked to the sky again to see nothing but fog.
He pulled in our driveway and got out and we discussed what my sister and I had seen and I showed him the video. He seemed like he wanted to believe, but he also seemed like he had to see it to believe it. And then it faintly returned, he watched the strange techniques of the light rome around the sky.
He admitted it was not any form of aviation he had seen, not a helicopter or plane nor a satellite because it was below the clouds. We watched it together with my sister until it got so far away and faint we could no longer see it. We talked about it a little, he made a small report and left.
That was the last time I saw the lights in the sky about 3 hours after it began it was over just as easy. Thank you for letting me post my report here. Keep your eyes to the sky in Maine and maybe (hopefully) you will be able to verify my reports.
