NUFORC Sighting 62710

Occurred: 2008-04-29 20:15 Local
Reported: 2008-04-29 18:07 Pacific
Duration: 30-45 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Hampton Beach, NH, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Three lights hovering in trangle formation, brightened in unison.

3 yellow lights were seen hovering in a triangular formation over the ocean about a mile off the coast and a few hundred feet over the water. The time they appeared lasted about 30-45 minutes.

I ruled them out as commercial planes almost immediately when they didn't move or have blinking lights. They disappeared for a minute or two, and then reappeared in a different location a half mile further to the south, but in the same triangular formation. At one point, on of the lights separated into 2 lights, then combined back into 1. The lights would brighten and dim in intervals, but the brightness of all 3 objects was totally synchronized. After they reached their brightest point, they disappeared into the night.

It looked as if the objects were around 100 to 200 feet apart in the formation, but it was cloudy and drizzling, so it was hard to tell for sure.
