The report, as filed

Walking back into my work office I noticed a bright red, fireball type object hovering in the sky. It was dark out so it was clearly visible. It was the brightest red I've ever seen then began to turn orange. All the while it was just hovering In the same spot. I ran to my office door to open it and upon return to the spot I had been standing, it had vanished. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Seekonk, MA

I was a passenger in a car driving on I195 East in (I believe) Seekonk, MA, & what caught my eye were 2 straight white bands across the sky, typically made by airplane fuel. All of a sudden, in between those bands & at a great distance, I saw 5 objects in a "V" pattern, then for about 5 seconds (size of the objects looked like "dots" in the sky) glowed briefly (few seconds) as if they were hit by the sunlight & just as I was watching this the 5 objects suddenly disappeared. I looked around for about 10-15 minutes to see if I could spot them again, but did not. I am not sure what I saw, not sure if any military bases in that area, as objects were at an extremely high altitude, I did not hear any sounds or noise from objects either.
