Two large, bright, circular lights. So close I could’ve thrown a baseball at it. There is no way I was the only one to witness this.

Sighting in Augusta,ME. So close I could’ve thrown a baseball at it. There is no way possible I was the only one to witness this.

I was in my car traveling my normal route home from working in Portland, which I have done hundreds of times since March of 2024. As I was soon to be approaching exit 112B, I noticed 2 extremely large, bright, circular lights, parallel to each other in the distance ahead to my left. (At this point they were as far as my eyes could see ahead) I immediately started to try and rationalize what I could be seeing… the highest point of the hospitals tallest building, lit up? a cell phone tower? No. I would have noticed this during any of my countless drives home at this same hour of night. As I continued to drive toward the direction of this light formation I realized that it was actually moving south through the sky, still parallel. I would describe the distance between me and this sighting as a few football fields away when I watched it stop completely in the sky and the 2 lights that were previously illuminated with a green tint turned solely bright white. I was then able to make out a shape of what I was seeing beyond the lights. Immediately in my mind I compared what I saw to shipping containers, MASSIVE, and tilted in the air beyond each end of this formation of lights. From the complete stop, it began to move south again and in a peculiar way, slow, yet controlled. Between the brightness of the lights and the movement I confidently knew this was not a helicopter, plane, or anything I had ever encountered. By the time that it was approximately a football field from me it began to cross above and over the interstate, heading east to my north, in the direction of marketplace in Augusta. I rolled my window down and had my head almost out the window looking up as it passed over the interstate. It was as low or lower than a low flying helicopter by this point. It was so brightly illuminated that the light was almost all that could be seen. I remember looking up and thinking if there is no explanation for this, if there is actually something or someone in this thing… they 100% can see me and can see that I have seen them. It felt like I was being looked back at in that moment. But looking back… I don’t recall feeling scared or threatened with this in my presence. Just a burning desire to explain and understand what I was seeing. I immediately tried to get off the interstate and follow it but I had already passed the exit I would’ve needed to take to follow in its direction.

A few days later, I posted on an Augusta, Maine, Facebook page, and I had questioned anonymously if anyone had reported seeing anything in the sky that night. One commentator stated that there were reports of a comet breaking up in the sky that night. What I saw was not a comet. It was not a plane. It was not a helicopter. If it was a drone, then we need to be seriously concerned of who and why a drone of that capacity would be among us. I unfortunately did not take a video as I was driving around 70mph. If I had, there would be NO question of what I am describing. If you are reading this and saw something, please report it. I have never been more certain of the uncertain in my life.
