NUFORC Sighting 123151

Occurred: 2001-07-17 22:00 Local
Reported: 2015-10-25 19:49 Pacific
Duration: 3 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Somersworth, NH, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

Dimmer light rapidly triangles brighter one, (directly above me), joins brighter light, strobes, and streaks dimly out/away.

I had just come home from work, went over to the window and looked up, as I might commonly do. I saw two stars slightly bright, close together. One was brighter than the other. Just as I was thinking, "That must be the aligned planets the weather man mentioned the night before," the less bright light did a very rapid triangle around the brighter one, then seemed to join it, then it strobed, maybe 4-10 times the brightness and size and then a brief, dim shooting-star like streak almost straight out/up.

The whole thing, from first noticing the two lights to nothing was maybe 3 seconds or less.

At first I thought it was two crafts, but then after some research, I figured it was just the lights on one triangular one, but who knows.

I was sober, have perfect vision, acute mental capacity and grip on reality. I was a teacher, now a registered cardiac nurse. I saw nothing in the paper, didn't bother reporting it until now, when I'm just getting around to reporting a similar incident back in May of this year, (2015) 5/21, or within a few days of that date.
