As reported

Unknown over Dudley, MA

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

The report, as filed

Not at all like the indicator lights on a plane, it was surprisingly bright. I don't even know what I saw, but it really didn't strike me as a meteor or "shooting star" it's movement seemed deliberate. I cross referenced meteor showers over new england, with the date/time of year; nothing. Persied ends in late August early September And Omnied (I think that's it's name) happens for only a few days in the beginning of October. If anyone else saw this, please reply in anyway allowed by this forum...I am completely perplexed, and I would just like either confirmation of an astrological event, or idk some explanation..? Also 2 deer ran across the road & away from the direction of the g-neg and a few Fox as well. All were running southbound about 5 minutes later. As the object streaked down in the northern part of the sky.

Object first appeared as a bright dot in a clear blue sky. Viewed through binoculars, the object could best be described as a motionless, vertical Saturn V rocket minus the capsule, tilted, with the top a bit to the left and the bottom a bit to the right. It was approx. the same shade of white as you would have seen on those old Saturn V's as well. Object maintained size, shape, color, position and attitude for approx. 5 minutes, then drifted East/Northeast, disappearing behind some fairly tall trees 100 feet from my position. Altitude was significant based on the focus of binoculars to view it, but I won't venture a guess, not knowing its actual size. My sighting occurred less than a mile away from a similar sighting in Webster, MA, on the 22nd of June (listed on the NUFORC site). First thoughts were that I was viewing a balloon, but now not so sure.

Dudley, MA

I had just graduated high school and was waiting for a friend of mine to come down from his apartment, I was waiting on his front porch when I heard helicopters in the distance but rapidly approaching the directing I was standing at. Short time after I see a US military attach helicopter resembling a AH-64 Apache fly over head about 100-150 feet above where I was stood. About 30-40 seconds after the first helicopter flew by I then saw a triangular shaped craft following the attack chopper, it made no sound, had a single light at each point and a single bubble like feature in the middle, it had ridged like sides resembling a normal wooden fence. The craft was black in color. After the craft had past I had witnessed two more AH-64 Apache helicopters following said craft heading in the direction of Connecticut. At the time I lived just a few houses down from my friend as we lived on the same street in the town of Dudley Massachusetts. We lived right on the state border of Massachusetts and Connecticut. It was night time but the area was very well lit and I swear I could have picked up a rock and struck the craft with it as it was flying so low to the ground. I now live in Kentucky and it has been years since I have witnessed any thing else. I have never reported it until now and I have only now just recently discovered that there is a reporting center for these types of incidents.
