Large, plane shaped object illuminated by orange lights seems to fall out of sky, but makes no sound.I was driving on route 100 from Stowe into Morrisville on Vermont Route 100. The sky was very dark and clear, and the stars were easily visible. I was debating what route I wanted to take through Morrisville, when a moving object in the sky caught my eye. I was on the phone as I was observing this object and informed the person I was speaking with that I was looking at something moving in the sky that was either a plane falling or a very large, abnormally slow moving meteor. I only saw this object for approximately 3 seconds, as it was moving at a consistent pace and lost sight of it as it moved behind the tree line. I attempted to find it again by continuing on the road that I hoped would give me a clear view of the object, but it was nowhere to be seen, in the sky or on the ground. It was close enough to me that if it had been a plane crash, I would have felt the reverberations from its impact. There is a small airport in Morrisville; however I observed this object a few miles to the east of the airport. Also, had this been a plane on its way to the airport, it would have flown over my vehicle. I did not hear any sounds that would have been associated with the object. The lights on the object were yellow/orange-ish. The way in which the lights were traveling together and the number of observable lights are what caused me to initially think that it was a plane. However, the lights on the object were all the same color which is why I also considered the possibility of it being a large, slow moving meteor instead of a plane. My main issue with this explanation is that the object as a whole was not illuminated, distinct smaller lights could be seen along the object. I am unable to accurately identify this object based on what I saw. Also, I do not believe that my hypotheses of either a plane or a meteor, the only two possible explanations I could come up with, provide a sufficient description to provide a satisfactory explanation for the event that occurred.
