Large rectangular low-flying object 4 nonblinking green lights squarely centered on underside.

I was driving up Southington Mountain (Meridan Road) in Wolcott CT on March 1 2011 at 7:46 pm. The area is mostly woods and the trees are quite tall. I noticed 4 green non-blinking lights through the trees to the left of me. The object passed over the road near the treetops. It appeared to be descending. At first I thought that it was a plane crashing. As it was above me, I realized that the lights were squarely in the center underside of a huge object. It appeared to be rectangular. The surface was dark-gray or black and completely non-reflective. I don't think I would have noticed it if there were no lights. I cannot really estimate the size except to say the area with the lights paralleled the width of the road. I glimpsed it through the trees on the other side of the road for a few more seconds. I got to the top of the hill and pulled into a parking lot but did no see it again. I did notice a plane flying in that area but much, much higher up. I watched! for sightings on your website for the next month and finally noticed 2 separate ones for the exact date and time. One in Waterbury and one in Wallingford/Meriden.

I could not decide whether to report it or not.I wish to remain anonymous. Thanks, Liz
