[meteorite-list] Odd Lights, Low Sounds Cause Stir in Maine

[Gary K. Foote]

I used to live at Mt. Abrahm.  This is not the first time strange lights
have been seen there.  I myself have seen lights hanging low on the
horizon there many times.  Nobody ever has an explanation.  I wonder if
its not surreptitious Air Force manuevers.  At least that's always been my
theory.

Interestingly enough I've seen two green fireballs in my lifetime - both
of them within 25 miles of that area.

Strange.

> FARMINGTON - Strange lights with no obvious cause were spotted all over

> "The phone was ringing off the hook," dispatcher Bill Hoyt said.
>
> Multiple callers from multiple towns - New Vineyard, Wilton, Phillips,
> Industry, and around Mt. Abram - called to report bizarre,
> low-to-the-ground lights, he said.
>
> "They were seeing, basically, a string of seven or eight lights low in
> the sky, that were fixed," he said. "There (were) also reports of jet
> engine noise low to the ground." One person who called worked with jet
> airplanes, Hoyt said. "They were not like any lights he had ever seen."
> Some people said they looked like stars.
>
> Hoyt called a Federal Aviation Administration office in Boston, which
> monitors air traffic in this part of New England, wondering if what
> people saw and heard could be related to military exercises.
>
> "They said the only air traffic was a couple of routine air flights at
> 40,000 feet," he said.
>
> Hoyt doubts it was aliens.

> "I think, personally, most of the time there's an explanation for
> everything," he said. "But you know, I don't deny the fact that people
> see things they can't explain."
>
> "It was kind of odd," he said. "All these reports were from different
> locations at the same time. Maybe it was a meteorite."
>
> The jet-engine sounds and the fixed-ness of the light pattern make him
> question that theory, though, he said.
