Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Leominster, MA, USA

Shape: Egg
Characteristics: Lights on object

Driving east on Rt. 2 just at the Rt.2/190 split in Leominster and saw three egg shaped lights hovering in the sky.

I was driving east on Rt. 2 just at the Rt.2/190 split in Leominster when I noticed three egg shaped lights fairly close together but hovering independently in the sky ahead of me. They seemed to be a medium brightness flame color. They appeared to be pretty high but very close, as it took over a minute for me to drive directly beneath them, which is about a mile or two. I did not notice any shape outside of the flame colored lights with the star lit sky as the background as I was passing beneath them. Unfortunately, since I was in my car I did not hear anything. A minute or two later I pulled over at an eye doctors office in that area but did not see the lights again. I waited for 15 minutes and witnessed a few planes fly overhead, none of which resembled what I had seen earlier. I also dialed 911 to report the sighting and was transferred to state police, who stated that I was the only caller regarding the issue. It’s hard to believe since there is! a nearby shopping center with a perfect view of the sky above the highway.
