Castleton is a very rural area in central Vermont and thus there is very little in the way of heavy background noise heard on a sunny afternoon. On the day in question, I was home alone on South St (with my dog) when I heard a loud, low pitch whirring noise emanating from behind my house (very uncharacteristic as it is a predominently wooded area). I stepped out on to our back deck to investigate (followed closely by my dog, a black lab named Pippin), where I was quite amazed by what I saw. Hanging in the cloudless blue southwestern sky were three very bright lights in diagonal pattern with the light on the right being the highest. The single most remarkable thing about these lights were the colors. The upper-right light was a vibrant green, the center light was a reddish-orange, and the lower left was brown, not amber, brown. To this day I believe it to be the only occasion I've had to witness a brown light of any kind. As I stood transfixed on the phenomenon, trying to rationalize the appearance of a brown light, the whirring sound began to rise in both pitch and volume. I would say the level reached those associated with being in a factory where heavy machinery was being operated. I continued to stare for what felt like minutes,(in reality it was probably only several seconds) until I heard my dog's howling above the noise. I turned to silence my dog, and in that brief moment the noise ceased and when I turned back, much to my dismay, the lights were gone.
