-Caveat Lector-
I grew up in Stratford, home of the Sikorsky helicopter manufacturing facilities -- new toys being played with in our local skies was (and still is) quite a common site, one reason that to this day "strange lights in the sky" at night are something that I don't even notice, unless something REALLY odd is occuring.... FWIW , where the Monday night incident occured is only about 10 or so miles as the spookcopter flies from the Sikorsky plant... I happen to live by a reservoir in a relatively sparsely populated area, actually 2 bodies of water within a mile of each other connected via a stream (and which is about 7 or so miles from the location of Monday night's incident); I've lived here close to 20 years and up until about 5 years ago never saw anything unusual in the area at night... But one night when I couldn't sleep I decided to get up and pay some bills; when I finished I still was wide awake, so I decided to hop into my car and take a drive to the nearest post office to mail them, a drive of about 5 minutes which takes me by this reservoir... It was about 2 or 3 a.m., and as I drove by the reservoir on my way to the post office I noticed a very bright red glow illuminating most of this body of water; the source of this glow was obscured behind thick, tall trees on a spit of land projecting into it...by the time I'd noticed this glow I was already past it (the view is mostly obscured by trees and brush close to the road, but there is one area where there is a break in the vegetation which allows a view of the length of the reservoir)...I figured I'd stop and check it out after mailing my bills, but when I returned (only about 5 minutes later) the glow was gone... There IS a blinking red light on top of an electric tower about a mile past the end of the reservoir, but that wasn't causing the glow I'd seen; I'd never seen that glow in all the years I'd driven past the reservoir, and I ve never seen it since...but the only thing I can figure that would have caused it would have been a low-hovering helicopter or two projecting a red light...but why a helicopter would have been hovering (hiding?) over this reservoir at that wee hour of the morning is a mystery...
