The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management says it is impossible to know where the insects were coming from, but the dragonflies were likely dispersing in search of a suitable habitat.

They must have flown over from long island, because the same day this was recorded I was behind Carl's Equipment in Riverhead and saw way more than whats in this video. Unfortunately I'm not one of the people who pulls their phone out to record everything. Unless it's aliens from outer-space, then I'm pulling my camera out. Some events are best witnessed just for yourself.

Isn’t this a sign of mass unatural migration
