A second Vermont witness has come forward who saw lights along Route 91 recently, but believes they were military flares, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

In MUFON Case # 20916, the witness was in the same area as the witness from MUFON Case # 20894, although five days earlier. This witness was driving south on Route 91 near Wells River, Vermont, on November 17, 2009, when lights were seen in the sky slowly drifting east to west and remained in a horizontal line.

About every 10 seconds, the witness reports that one of the lights on the west end of the line would go off, and a new light would appear on the east end.

The witness believes the lights "were nothing more than military flares shot from an aircraft."

Wells River is a village in the town of Newbury in Orange County, Vermont, population 2,000.

The November 22, 2009, case was detailed in Vermont witness reports UFO as 'low line of lights' over Route 91. The witness here reported that "a line of lights appeared and then disappeared along Route 91 at Route 113 near Exit 14."

If you believe you were a witness to this currently reported event, please report your sighting at mufon.com to help with the research on this case. Your name will be kept confidential.

Following is the unedited and uninvestigated report from MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Vermont MUFON State Director Steve Firmani investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.

VT, November 17, 2009 - Several lights in a line over the highway. MUFON Case # 20916.

This is regarding MUFON Case # 20894 which took place in Vermont along rt. 91. I'm pretty sure I saw the same thing that the witness describes, but 5 days earlier. The difference is I give you a Identified Fly Object report, I think I know what I (and the other witness) saw.

I was driving southbound on Rt. 91 and was nearing Wells River, Vt. when I saw a line of lights in the sky. They were drifting slowly from East to West and remained in a straight horizontal line. Now let me make this clear, I've been researching UFO's my whole life, and I've seen some strange things, but this was really weird. The lights were clearly there, they could be nothing else (no lights reflected into the sky, and so on). I continued going through the list of possibly causes and not finding anything, and meanwhile the lights were drifting slowly. Every ten seconds or so, a new light would appear on the West end of the line, and a light at the East end of the line would disappear completely. Then I came to a conclusion, and I believe to it be correct.

I think that that these lights (and possibly the others witnessed in the same area of Vermont) were nothing more than military flares shot from an aircraft (a la Pheonix Lights except they didn't last that long). They did indeed appear, just as the witness in case 20894 says, to be drifting and a new one would appear on one end of the line and at the other end one would disappear. They drifted slowly, presumably on the wind. Why the military was dropping flares, I couldn't say.

Thank you for your time, and consideration.
