Putski- A friend and I saw it as well on Saturday night. I was in my Boat in front of Charlestown beach with a friend and saw something in the southern sky over Block. It was some time between 8 and 9 PM. My friend called back this morning and mentioned that he read that NASA was doing some testing that was seen as far north as New Hampshire. Didn't see the multiple lights/planes you describe, as the boat was on the trailer by quarter to 10 and I wasn't watching the sky.

Crazy looking %$%$%$%$. Bright lights with big bellows of smoke/vapor trails. It looked to rise vertically in large steps vs the steady horizontal flight of a plane. I can't recall ever seeing anything remotely like it in my life. We only saw what looked like a single rocket/ship/plane/flying saucer, etc..

After 15 minutes, we decided that WWWIII wasn't starting and got back to fishing. My friend was reeling a 15lb fish to the boat and had something very large chase it right up to the side of the boat. Whatever it was missed the fish and slammed into the side/bottom of the boat. Boat's painted black on the bottom and it was a dark night, wonder if whatever it was never saw the boat. Whatever it was, (shark, seal, alien sea monster, etc..) moved my 18 footer enough to almost knock me out of it. We were sufficiently creeped out for the next hour to say the least.
