I went to a great party in September. It was an end of the summer bash held at a beachfront home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on east end of Long Island.
It was a beautiful night. The stars were bright and clear. The moon was nearly full while shinning across the rolling ocean. It was one of those perfect nights you recall forever.
The hosts of the party have a huge deck on the second story of their beach house. After dinner we all faced our chairs over looking the ocean to enjoy the lovely night while we talked, laughed and looked at the ocean and stars.
We were sitting there for a while when I glanced out over the ocean while talking to one of my pals. I was talking and laughing and looking when it occurred to me that a few stars seemed to move. I stopped talking while the others carried on with the conversation and followed the lights.
At first I thought they were planes heading towards me. I thought that would make them appear on an angle to give them a star light look. As I watched they stopped moving. I looked away as I figured they were stars and I was mistaken. I started to talk to the group again and looked back out over the ocean to find the lights were now only a short distance out over the ocean. This time I stood up and walked to the edge of the deck to get a good look. Again I figured it was some kind of aircraft. I yelled for my friends to look at the lights.
Three of my friends walked over and looked at the two lights. As we stood there one of the lights took off at an enormous speed and made a hard right turn. The speed never altered. I stood there and said more to myself than to my friends “ A plane cannot do that”. With that the remaining light went from a dead stop to incredible speed and shot straight up into the night sky and was gone. Poof, the thing just vanished. It was amazing.
My one friend pointed out to the left of where they had been and said “oh there they are” I looked and there were the two balls of light side by side far out over the ocean.
We watched them for a few seconds and like a light switch had been flipped – they were gone. The night was black and empty in the spot they hovered just a second before.
I stood there flabbergasted at what we just observed. I could not believe I was so lucky to have had a deck full of friends to share this incredible sighting with. I turned towards the three who had been watching this display with me and said “ My god, did you just see that?” They looked at me and sort of shrugged.
