Buxton, Maine (United States)

Sighted on Friday 12. October 2012

Shape: Circle, Disc, Unknown | Duration: Undisclosed
Source:

I am retired Navy,very familiar with our aircraft.This object has been seen nightly when no clouds.Its usually very high in Eastern sky,emits lights of differing colors,hovers for long periods,moves in a zig zag pattern at times,always silent.Too far for binoculars,but once came much lower and I could see it was a disc/round shape,emitting red,blue,white lights randomly.The night I saw this one there was another much higher in the Eastern sky.Usually after midnight,but last night I saw it at 11:00 pm eastern time.It seems like its in a slightly different spot each night,as if it were working a grid pattern as in a search. I've always observed it from my back deck at my house. I've been watching this/these things for more than 2 weeks now.Right from the start it caught my eye,easily the brightest object in the sky,so it was easy to notice when I took the dog outside. I'm really curious about what it could be.Definitely not any aircraft I'm familiar with.Always silent.I'm in a flight path,so pilots in the area must have seen it.
