Saw what appeared to be a series of fireballs maybe 3 thousand feet up. One would arc up a short distance then fall and burn out, then a second one would appear a short distance ahead of the first, and the sequence continued for multiple repetitions over the course of a couple of minutes.
Saw the same thing again 2 years ago coming down Moultonborough Neck Road in the daylight. Again, the same repeating balls of light.
It was probably a military aircraft practicing releasing decoy flares used to fool infrared tracking missiles. But it sure looked spooky!

Dear MR. Prop-B-Gone...
Them pictures were within category for this thread. I saw what I saw before I ever got a chance to get my camera out of the holster!
However so funny though, in all of my many enjoyable years boating here on Lake Winnipesaukee, I have yet to hit a rock and/or loose a prop.
So many of us owe a Big thankyou to Bizer, and others, in this regard!
Terry
