Light over Falmouth, ME

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Watching TV in bed and noticed flashing light in the sky outside my window. It was white and bright and appeared to be flashing down a row of lights. There were 2, one was higher up then the other. I had my husband look, as I wasn't sure what I was looking at. We stood in the window looking at these two very bright flashing lights in the sky. They moved up and down and stayed in placed, then they were gone, just vanished as if a switch had been shut off. With in a few seconds, they had reappeared as red/orange lights, very bright. One appeared to be moving closer. I looked away as I didn't really want to see what I was seeing. My husband, however, continued watching until they vanished.

Falmouth, ME

We were driving on Interstate 295 Southbound, when three orange lights appeared on the right side of the car, about 100 feet above, just entering the tree line. Then a fourth trailing light to the right of the triangle; it was transparent due to the fact that clouds could be seen in between the lights, so maybe four separate orange lights. The orange was like a street light but a much softer glow. We think they were Fire Lanterns. Pretty incredible site though.
