NUFORC Sighting 52845

Occurred: 2006-10-08 17:30 Local
Reported: 2006-10-08 16:55 Pacific
Duration: 10 - 15 Minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Scarborough, ME, USA

Shape: Light

Very fast moving lights "chasing" each other and moving very eratically

I looked up and saw a bright light, it dimmed and went what seemed, straight up. As it was going up, another light seemed to come out of nowhere and "chase" the first light. There were then three of these lights, circling and moving. I ran to the house and got my wife. She immediately saw the same thing and saw 3 or 4 more lights moving in the sky. I thought the initial light was a sattelite, but then it was joined by the second light that was moving in different directions. I thought that it may have been jet fighters training, but there was no visible contrail or any sound and they all seemed to vanish at the same time.

NUFORC Note:

We wonder whether the witness might have observed the flare of an Iridium satellite, followed by another satellite in the same area of the sky. PD
