IRVINGTON, NY — Last Sunday I sent an e-mail to Bruce Maccabee, PhD, an optical physicist and world-renowned UFO researcher, inviting him to have a look at my photo of an unusual four-light array in the sky near Laramie, Wyoming, taken in the late afternoon of Wednesday, Oct. 21, during my cross-country auto trip.

Close-up of four-light array. Dr. Maccabee does not believe the lights are a reflection.
Responding several hours later, Dr. Maccabee noted, “I’m sure you will be interested to know that yours is not the only light array like that. There was one from New Zealand last December and another from Canada last February.” He requested all the information I could provide about the photo, as well as a copy of the original full-sized digital image, for analysis.
You can read Dr. Maccabee’s preliminary analysis of my photo–and see photos of the other four-light arrays in New Zealand and Canada–here.
After reading his report, I followed up with one more e-mail and asked, “Based on the information I gave you, can we assume with reasonable certainty that the lights are objects, and not a reflection?” His response: “I don’t think reflection is involved.”
