Just another in a long string of UFO reports in the news this year. Was Kreskin right, but off by a year?

Odd Lights, Low Sounds Cause Stir By Maggie Gill-Austern
Staff Writer
FARMINGTON - Strange lights with no obvious cause were spotted
all over northern Franklin County Tuesday night, Sheriff’s
Department dispatchers said.
“The phone was ringing off the hook,” dispatcher Bill Hoyt said.
Multiple callers from multiple towns - New Vineyard, Wilton,
Phillips, Industry, and around Mt. Abram - called to report
bizarre, low-to-the-ground lights, he said.
“They were seeing, basically, a string of seven or eight lights
low in the sky, that were fixed,” he said. “There (were) also
reports of jet engine noise low to the ground.” One person who
called worked with jet airplanes, Hoyt said. “They were not like
any lights he had ever seen.” Some people said they looked like
stars.
Hoyt called a Federal Aviation Administration office in Boston,
which monitors air traffic in this part of New England,
wondering if what people saw and heard could be related to
military exercises.
“They said the only air traffic was a couple of routine air
flights at 40,000 feet,” he said.
Hoyt doubts it was aliens.
“I think, personally, most of the time there’s an explanation
for everything,” he said. “But you know, I don’t deny the fact
that people see things they can’t explain.”
“It was kind of odd,” he said. “All these reports were from
different locations at the same time. Maybe it was a meteorite.”
The jet-engine sounds and the fixed-ness of the light pattern
make him question that theory, though, he said.

I don’t know, but maybe “waves” are created at least in part by better communications and population increase.

February 23 2007, my co-worker and I were making a delivery. We saw strange lights, between Corinna Maine, and Dexter Maine, we stopped because i wanted to listen if i could here any sound coming from the object, they were stationary like a light pole at approximately 5,000 ft, and first appeared within 20 miles of us to the east. The light appeared to be solid at this time, bright, I first thought it was a star in supernova. Then the light instantly disappeared and re-appeared slowly within 10 miles of us to the east-northeast, as we were on route 7 north moving toward Dexter, at that time I could distinctly make out two very bright stationary lights on the top of the object, a blue center band with some sort of lights beaming out horizontally from both sides of the object, and a single light at the bottom, the object’s magnitude was far greater than any other object that I have ever seen in the sky at that distance, at the same time, there were at least 7 aircraft moving away from the object, I do not know if this was related. I could make out the port and starboard flashing lights on these aircraft. The object had no flashing lights and was stationary for a period of at least 20 minutes before blinking out. I was an E-5 in US Naval Aviation, I worked around aircraft every day in Aviation Maintenance and Security including the weapons compound restricted area for 6 months out of my 4 years at Brunswick NAS in Brunswick Maine, I was honorably discharged as i chose to separate as my enlistment ended in 2004, I have taken classes on aircraft recognition, I have never seen or heard of anything resembling this object as either an aircraft or a weapon. I do not know if it was alien or military, but like I said in my experience i have never seen anything that i could compare this object with. I would testify under oath to what i saw. It was also witnessed by my co-worker.

illuministic,
Sounds like Maine is a lot more active than news reports let on. Many researchers have commented that the number of unreported sightings would increase the database manyfold.
