Reported: 2007-08-22 09:27 Pacific
Duration: 2-3 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Williamstown, MA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

2 unblinking star-like objects moving quickly across the sky.

My boyfriend and I were sitting in my back yard when my boyfriend noticed 2 bright star-like objects moving quite fast across the sky. They were silent unblinking lights and appeared to be at a very high altitude. 1 light followed the other (maybe several hundred feet apart), one behind the other. The distance between them or speed never varied...they were perfectly aligned and travelling in a West to East direction. After watching them travel across the sky for approximately 1 to 2 minutes, the first light dimmed and disappeared and a moment later the second light completely vanished. It was a clear night with very little cloud cover. It was a little unsettling because neither of us could think of a rational explanation for what it could have been. Very strange!

NUFORC Note:

ISS in formation with Space Shuttle?? PD
