Cigar over Scituate, MA

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

The report, as filed

Medium-large sized cigar-shaped object blinked into view very clearly much close than the many planes nearby. It lit up a yellow-whitish light and then moved at a rapid and constant speed and disappeared between trees

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #123395). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Scituate, MA

It started moving again but moving in the direct opposite direction moving east to west. It stopped again and a red solid light appeared, it seemed to have changed the position it was in the sky, but not moving. It then looked like it flipped its position in the sky and 3 smaller lights appeared in a triangular shape, the one on the top appeared last. The top light then got extremely bright, followed by the bottom 2. Finally all 3 lights got smaller and smaller until it disappeared as if it does away extremely fast.
