Jet's Chasing Lights in Sky Over Boston

Driving into Boston from the North near the airport, I saw 2 jet's leaving trails headed toward each other directly over the city high in the sky. Underneath them appeared a light which flickered and then glowed intensly before suddenly disappearing. After about a second or 2 it re-appeared in what must of been 20 miles to the east over the ocean. It remained there for maybe 10 seconds or so and then glowed brighter and vanished. The light was white and it did seem like it was flickering or hazy but it was really strange how it glowed before it vanished each time. After the second time I couldn't find it again (I wanted to pull over but was on an expressway) I noticed one of the planes had stopped leaving trails (I'm assuming to make a turn) I don't know if anyone else saw it but I intend to watch the news tonight.



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with the witness via telephone, and we found him to be quite credible. We do not think he was looking at a mylar balloon, but we do not know what it was he observed. PD
