Strange Lights and booming noises in North Stonington CT

On about 6 PM last night I had just arrived home and was preparing dinner, when my husband and I heard a very loud foreign noise outside. We live within a 30 mile distance of an airport and see the aircraft flying over in a landing pattern nightly. This was different. It sounded as if the craft was going to land on the house. I went outside to investigate. Out back I saw something that was not like anything I had seen before; it almost looked like it was taking cover in the clouds overhead. The lights were very bright and moved in a pattern that a regular aircraft does not usually follow. The second time we heard the noise it shook the whole house. I went out the front door this time and again saw the bright lights they were flying east bound and then simply like putting a car in reverse headed back west bound. As it came closer I could not only hear the rumble of the craft, but I could feel the sound. My son being very scared again asked me to come in, and! I did. I went back out a few minutes later and there was nothing.
