Could it have been military jets/planes on maneuvers?

Thank you. If bicycles had windows, they might think differently.

I thought the same, but the jets flying into Westerly usually don’t sound like what I heard last night. Maybe it was a commercial jet that didn’t have clearance to land at TF so it was just sort of killing a little time?

Also heard this, no idea what it was though. Assumed it was a plane.

I've heard that you can see harbor seals easily from shore around this time of year, somewhere around North Kingston? Maybe someone here will know more.
Just Googled: "Rome Point in North Kingstown, Brenton Point in Newport, Rocky Point in Warwick, and Church Cove and Usher Cove in Bristol are what Lewis calls “sentinel sites” that tend to have the highest number of seals during each low tide and are usually occupied early and late in the season."
Save the Bay also has seal watching boat tours; don't know anything about those or if they are offered now.

Could have been a plane coming into Westerly? I live close to the airport and hear different planes- jets, pipers, etc.

13 min walk to the Amtrak, bars, shopping, and restaurants?
Apartments or condos.
More walkable and less traffic: yes, please.

Oh that's probably just Hawkins national laboratory. No big deal, they are working on fences or gates or something like that.

Why are so many people in here triggered by what another person does to enjoy their life that has ZERO effect on how they enjoy theirs?

I heard a similar noise in West Warwick around 4:30 or 5. It was almost like a car with extreme bass but it wasn't playing a beat, just a low buzz/rumble that grew incredibly loud then faded back out over maybe 2 or 3 minutes. Definitely sounded ominous.

Reply to Saw a weird light last night by citrus_mystic
I saw the same thing twice on my way into work around 630am before we set the clocks back, so it was still dark but closer to twilight in the morning. Same thing, I was driving on 95N when I saw something really bright appear in the sky. It appeared to move to the Northeast, and I thought it was a plane heading towards Logan. To my surprise it dimmed out and totally vanished.
My thoughts were it was a satellite at an angle at that given time that was reflecting quite a bit of sunlight. It must have moved in such a way that caused it to brighten, and darken from our perspective.
I’ve seen the ISS suddenly dim as it is passing over. It behaved the same way.

Politicans don't care about anyone who can't do something for them in return.

Does RI still have a public access channel? I seem to vaguely remember a teenager (maybe he was in his early 20’s) with some kind of talk show…

There’s a really good post that explains this idea quite well. Nice vs Kind.
If you do kind things for people and expect something in return you’re going to have problems. You appear to fall right into the target of this post.
