Saw a non blinking moving light while driving with a possible smaller light descending from it

December 8, 2023 4:47 p.m.

Driving home from work I saw a bright, warm white light above downtown Fitchburg. The sky was overcast and it was the only light in the sky. It immediately struck me as odd as it appeared to be in front of the clouds, stationary and was not blinking. I was driving on 2A heading towards ChapelBarker Hill graveyard. My route took me around the graveyard where I lost sight of it. Headed northeast down Laurel st, I saw it again as I stopped at the stop light. I then noticed the light was slowly moving southwest towards me. I continued to glance at the light as I drove past the shopping center southeast down Water St. At the next stop light, I could still see it through the drivers window which was rolled down. I couldn't hear anything except the noise of the traffic. It was stationary again and I could see what looked like a smaller and much fainter light descending from the main light. It was very hard to make out and looked like it was almost twinkling. I lost sight of the twinkling light when the bigger light started slowly moving, southwest still, over my car. I thought I could just barely see a circular silhouette around the light. Then the stop light turned green and I took a lefthand turn to cross fifth st. bridge, driving the opposite direction the light in the sky was heading. I lost track of it and pulled over on fulton st. to try to find it again out of my passenger window, but it was completely gone.

I’ve been into the UAP topic seriously since 2020. I’ve seen starlink, iss, planes and drones. This did not have any normal characteristics of any of these except maybe a drone however it appeared much larger than what a drone would be.
