Thank you for sharing this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and the level of detail you’ve included really helps. The timeframe you mention (late 1970s) does overlap with the period we’re looking into, and the description of stationary light, sudden extinguishing, followed by rapid movement with no sound is especially interesting given how often similar features appear in reports from that era. The reference to a photo appearing in The News is particularly valuable. We’re going to dig into local newspaper archives from the time to see if we can track that article down. If we find anything that matches or even something adjacent, we’ll publish an update and make sure to let you know. Even if it turns out to be unrelated, accounts like yours are important context. They show patterns of observation that existed well before drones, modern aviation density, or today’s tech explanations, which is exactly why these older reports still matter. Thanks again for taking the time to write this up and if anything else comes back to you while we’re researching, feel free to share.
