October 2023·northeast towards Gander, Canada·other·unresolved

A pilot flying from Boston to Dublin observed white lights in the sky near Gander, Canada at 37,000 feet that appeared to be at or above 50,000 feet. The lights cycled from dim to bright over 10 seconds to one minute and resembled airplane landing lights but the pilot ruled out conventional explanations.

“- first observation of the lights occurred in October 2023. - was flying from Boston, MA to Dublin, Ireland where he saw the lights in the northeast towards Gander, Canada. - was at an elevation of 37,000 feet and believed the lights were higher than him, probably at 50,000 feet or higher. The lights were white in color, would start out as dim, and get brighter before they eventually faded out.”
