The report, as filed

It was 02:19 when I was driving on I-295 North, when I saw a row of lights, unblinking and larger than any plane I’ve ever seen, fly across the highway to the NE. It looked to be in a saucer shape moving quickly. I was in complete shock when I saw it that it didn’t even occur to me to try and take a video of it until it was too far away. I pulled off on exit 17 to try and chase it but it faded into the fog heading toward the coast. I don’t think I blinked the rest of my way home. I was a skeptic but now I don’t know what to think.

Yarmouth, ME

It was a formation of tiny, pinprick-like lights very high up in the sky. They looked like stars, but were moving in a perfectly straight line. There were hundreds of them all following each other across the sky. They were not blinking but were alight. Imagine hundreds of small stars following each other in a perfect line. I, my sister, and our two friends saw this on a beach at night. The lights moved into our field of vision, across the sky, and out of it.
