| Cone of light emanating downward from stationary point in the sky. At approximately 20:00 on Saturday, September 19, 2009, we (two of us) were at our driveway gate in Orwell, Vermont. We were opening the gate to drive in and another family member was bringing horses in when something in the southern sky -- probably at a 45-degree angle up from the horizon (very non-technical guesstimate) -- caught our attention. From what appeared to be a stationary point (possibly like a small star) that was the apex, a cone of white light emanated downward. It continued to radiate downward for approximately 10 seconds, remained there for maybe another 5-10 seconds, and then began to dissipate slowly. One of our party thought it dissipated first from the center of the cone. The other two didn’t notice that but rather saw the entire triangle dissipate slowly. The entire even probably took 30 seconds. ((NUFORC Note: Missile launch. PD)) |
