Unknown over Holden, ME

The report, as filed

I was outside on my deck smoking a cigarette and was looking up @ stars. Something I do on a nightly routine. I saw what appeared to be somewhat like a bright star object literally circling and stopping. This object stopped in place then moved a little then started flying circles, then would stop. I went in the house grabbed a flashlight with a green color bulb and flashed it off & on. The object stopped and stayed still. This thing must have been huge because it was like I said as bright as a star yet it was high altitude. I would say I thought I was crazy but my girlfriend was seeing what I was seeing at the same time. I have never in my 41 years seen any plane or even a drone be able to maneuver like this was. I can say this was amazing! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
