Duration: 15 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Dayville, CT, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

two objects moving slowly in a clear night sky---one had a white semi-circle of lights that appeared to strobe

I was traveling east on rte. 101, on the evening of April 4, 2005. I was going from Pomfret to Dayville, CT.

At approximately 10:45 p.m., I noticed an extremely bright white light in the northest sky. This white light had a small red light on the left, and a small green light on the right. None of the lights were blinking. This object appeared to be maybe 2,000 feet in the sky, and it was moving very slowly in a southerly direction. I watched it for about 5 minutes.

At this time, the white light, which was much brighter that anything else in the sky on this clear evening, faded out. The two colored lights remained lit, and the object continued to move in a southerly direction. At this time, I saw another object pass under it by a few hundred feet. This second object had a series of smaller, duller white lights which formed a semi-circle and strobed. The first object's remaining lights went out at this point. I continued traveling east on rte. 101 for another 5 minutes, still observing the second object, which was moving in a northeasterly direction rather slowly.

I observed this object for a total of 10 minutes, at which time it disappeared behind a treeline.
