Initial data
During the flight from Boston to Amsterdam, a strange point of light could be seen almost the entire flight.
As we were flying from Boston to Amsterdam on a Northwest DC-10, a friend and I noticed a strange light in the lower left side of the plane about 2-3 miles away. At first, I thought that this light might be a reflection of one of the DC-10 navigation lights.
After looking at the light for about an hour, we decided that this was not the case. This will change the position and color. We could just say that it was an object of some kind. After a while, we just looked out the window every 20 minutes or so. Every time we looked, it was still there. At one point, we asked the other passenger and the steward to take a look, and they were also amazed. The light disappeared as we began to circle the ships, probably about 200 miles off Ireland.
After the flight, we joked about the " UFO " we had seen, but we still had an uneasy feeling.
I'm a private pilot, and I've seen reflections of navigation lights and air traffic at night, this light didn't even look like it.

Summary: During a flight from Boston to Amsterdam a strange point of light could be seen for almost the whole flight. When flying from Boston to Amsterdam on a Northwest DC-10, my girlfriend and I noticed a strange light off to the lower port side of the airplane at a distance of about 2 to 3 miles. At first I thought that the light could be a reflection from one of the navigation lights of the DC-10. After watching the light for about an hour we decided that that wasn’t the case. It would change position and color. We could simply tell that it was some sort of object. After a while, we would just take a look out the window every 20 minuets or so. Every time we looked out it was still out there. At one point we asked another passenger and a steward to take a look and they were amazed as well. The light disappeared when we started to overfly some shipping, probably about 200 miles from Ireland. After the flight we joked about the “UFO” that we saw, but we were still left with an unsettling feeling. I am a private pilot and I have seen nav light reflections and air traffic at night, this light was not even similar.
