Westbrook, Connecticut (United States)

Sighted on Saturday 05. July 2014
Reported on
Shape: Formation or string of lights | Duration: Over 40 minutes
Source:

As many others were watching the annual 4th of July Fireworks Display, I heard someone say. "Hey, what is that?" I looked due south across Long Island Sound towards Greenport, New York and hovering above approx. 1000 ft up were a perfectly aligned formation of lights from East to West as far as the eye can see. I estimate about 10-12 miles. The lights were stationary and seemed to rise and fall at the most easterly end, by a few hundred feet. Making the movement obvious to anyone watching for any length of time, going from a Curve to a diagonal line across the sky. The depth of field was hampered by the lights from the exploding fireworks displays all around as well as the reflection of surface/public lighting in the area. There was no noise or abrupt movements, notably in perfect formation for many miles. I was concerned that if this was in fact a extra terrestrial visitation, it was my hope that whomever this was did not interpret the Fireworks as hostile and thereby take aggressive action against us. Upon further thought, I decided to leave the area and go home to my wife where I should be if needed. I have googled several times and no one else has reported this, although many have witnessed it.
