The island fireworks were from a wedding enjoyed watching them well the flashes any way and sounds while we fished the west side of the island..... None of us ever noticed the lights.. 2 of us were going on 4 hours sleep and other was to busy fishing and enjoying bein on the island....

that cloud thing isnt even close to what we saw... like i said... 70-100 PLANES... I know what i saw... strange, yet different sight...

All I know is we were at the CG station on BI around then and there was a Helocopter going ape%$%$%$%$ all over the island searching....

Couple possibilities
 

A friend told me a bunch of WWII fighter plane buffs have been on LI and in Groton CT last week doing air shows and reuniting veteran pilots. Maybe they were out doing a night flight?

Or maybe it was an all out assault by the little green guys looking for VeeMike?:shocked:

Always learning
 

You don't just learn about fishing on S-B. I was talking to my brainiac son (otherwise known as baitboy) about what I saw and he thought it was a super nova just like Rizzo. I had no idea what a super nova was before the other night. Very cool! May I add he gets his smarts from his Mom.

:rotf2:

I was at Charlestown Beach and saw it at about 8:30 or so I guess. My friend, Eel Guy Jr., and I were pretty freaked out.

Hey jredfly;
were you at an inlet on the south cape shore?
My son and I were, and saw what you saw - we would have been across the inlet from you. Quick conversation across the water with you.

That was about the biggest shooting star I've ever seen.
Saw one like it from Weekapaug about 10 years ago. The whole ocean was lit up from Block Island over to Montauk...
