Orbiting UFO spotted near rainbow Shortly before 7 pm on 3/27, my boyfriend and I went onto our balcony to take video and photos of a massive double rainbow that appears almost exactly in the same spot each time we have significant rainfall. While standing on our balcony, almost at the exact same time, we both recognize an airplane, seemingly flying through or next to the rainbow on the left-hand side. And then, above that, also to the left of the rainbow, we noticed something in the sky that we could not identify.

I immediately began trying to capture the image on video, but because of how far away it was and how old my phone is (iPhone XR), anytime I got close enough to the unidentified object the video would become unfocused, and I would have to zoom back out and try to find the object again. What we noticed was that it appeared two round or possibly square pieces were connected and seemed to be orbiting each other. I was able to catch some of that on video and I will attach that here.

We considered the possibility that it was two balloons stuck together, rotating around each other across the sky, but we couldn’t say for sure, and couldn’t shake the feeling of not being able to identify what we had just seen. In just a couple of minutes, the object shifted across the sky from incredibly far away on the horizon, to much closer until it moved behind our building, and we were unable to see the object anymore. We stayed outside for some time, trying to understand what we captured or see it again, but all we saw after that were easily identifiable as planes.

Driving on highway in a wooded area and saw a chrome like sphere object hovering in one spot quietly. It was a sunny day with mostly clear sky's. Barely any clouds were around.

I was driving my car on the highway from Litchfield to Plymouth and glanced up at the sky for a moment and then saw a chrome like sphere hovering about 20-30 miles in the air. Didnt seem too far. This is the second time I've seen an object like this in the past 12 months.

I was very amazed. It seemed to be unaffected by wind. At first I thought it could have been some sort of balloon however it was still and didn't move at all.

The chrome color was so prevalent that the suns glare was very bright against one side of it. I went back to looking at the road wondering if I could take my phone out to photograph it, but by the time I looked back up (10 seconds or so) it just vanished. No trail in the sky, no sound.

After that I saw some birds flying in the sky opposite of its direction. Not sure if they felt or saw that thing but figured I should note it. At the time when I saw it.

There were no birds in the sky at all. I was driving so I could have passed by the sighting location a mile through. Very peculiar sighting and was upset I couldn't take a picture of it.

I saw a stationary orb of flashing lights in the sky surrounded by an aura-like electric looking mist At around 9:20pm on Friday, February 16th, 2024, I was out walking my dog up the hill of Dann Drive in Stamford, CT when I spotted a bright light in the sky to the west, which was completely stationary. It was a cold and clear night, many stars were visible and this was noticeably larger and closer than any star. It blinked multicolored lights (I think blue and red and maybe one other color) like an airplane so I thought that it likely was, until I stopped to stare at it in reference to the trees below it.

I realized it wasn’t moving - it was completely still except for a hazy, mist-like aura that surrounded it that seemed to be flashing with an electric charge. I couldn’t make out a shape of a craft if there was one - it was a little too far and all I could make out were what I think were three flashing lights and the electric aura. I fixed my eyes on it as I walked my dog further up the street, only 3 houses away from mine, feeling in my bones that I was witnessing something not of this world.

The feeling that overcame me was complete awe and amazement because I had never seen anything like it before. Not more than a minute and a half after the first sight of it, I took my eyes away and looked further up the street in front of the next house and quickly noticed a dark figure standing in the yard near the street and immediately feel like I’m being watched and it terrifies me. My knees literally started shaking and I dragged my dog to run back home and get inside.

I believe he had seen the figure too, because his eyes were fixated on something as I was trying to drag him away. It might’ve been someone out walking their dog, but whatever it was spooked the hell out of me and I felt an instinctual need to run away from it. Regardless, I wish I had more time to witness the phenomenon in the sky for longer, but the whole ordeal lasted about 3 minutes.

For as long as I saw it, the uap remained in the same position and elevation in the sky. I didn’t have my phone on me the entire time but when I went inside, I immediately texted my partner exactly what I saw and how terrified I was. About 8 minutes after I first noticed the uap, I heard and saw a helicopter circling the area, which seemed to confirm my suspicion that something strange might be happening.

I investigated further to see if there had been any other uap sightings in the area and I came across this database. The two most recent submissions from CT were from two days ago and they detail the exact same thing that I saw in the sky, and the videos confirmed it. I had to report my account too, in hopes it can contribute to research and/or discoveries of any kind.

I don’t know how long it was in the sky for, but it remained while the helicopters were around, but it was shrouded in what looked like a tiny gray cloud when I looked out my window to see if it was still there about an hour later. An hour after that, it was completely gone. I am not a UFO expert by but I am deeply invested and interested in UFO discourse and disclosure by the government.

I look to the skies in hopes of seeing something extraterrestrial every day! I finally had my first experience and I had to share it.

odd, flashing object i could only describe during recording as "flying police car" saw an object in the sky, thought first plane, then noticed the odd lights, not in a plane shape, along with weird flashing, and at first thought the lights were red and blue like a police car but in the sky, so i took my phone out and recorded it. noticed later it had multiple lights, red, orange, yellow, blue, green and white. 15 minutes later a jet flew over in the same direction, looked like jet, acted like a jet, did not match what i got on video.

Full Report Text:

Strobing colored light Husband went out to let the dog out and spotted the strobing light in the sky and then someone on the next door app posted seeing the same thing. She was seeing the 2 nd one we spotted on the NW direction of our house. When a plane passed Uber the southern one.

The lights disappeared and came back after the plane passed.

Video of one object Some posted on the Nextdoor app about seeing strange lights in the sky. I thought maybe a drone or satellite. She lives the next town over.

My husband went to let our dog out and said that the UFO object the lady reported was outside I went out and took a short video. My husband then looked west of the one we saw. And there was another one.

Which was probably the one the other lady was seeing . My husband said it moved and then came to a stop at the location and it just sat there.

Daylight White orb sighting over very populated area on I95 close to the CT / NY state border On 23 JAN 2024 at 9:26 am, I was driving southbound on US Interstate 95 from CT to NY. In the vicinity of exit 3 (South) I noticed a very bright, white phosphorous colored ball of light in the sky as I looked out towards the upper left of my windshield. Ball of light size was slightly larger than a passenger aircraft which had flown into view below and in front of the bright object.

The passenger aircraft was very dark in color due to the hazy, low cloud cover at the time, contrasting the dark aircraft when compared to very bright object behind the passenger aircraft. Bright object was observed as moving away from my direction heading towards the Long Island Sound / New York City direction, making me believe I was not observing bright aircraft headlights heading towards me on approach to Westchester airport. This area has a lot of air traffic as it is in the airspace of Westchester airport and I am very familiar with the various silhouettes of aircraft and their FAA lights and this object stood out immediately as not being the typical airborne lights I am used to seeing.

The bright white object was below the cloud cover, making me believe it wasn't a star or planet I was observing. I lost sight of the object for about 2 or 3 minutes as I went around a large bend on I95 then required visual contact with the white light as I entered another straight away that was back on the objects flight path. The bright white light was now smaller in size and appeared to be continuing to move away towards the direction of New York City.

Shortly after this secondary visual contact, I once again lost sight of the bright white light as I entered an area of I95 that had increased dense tree cover bordering the highway. I was unable to get a picture of the object due to driving in traffic and I would have endangered myself and the other drivers around me.

Elongated white light moving slowly or not at all, which then also displayed a series of colored lights in a line as I got closer. I was driving tonight (very clear night) with Google map guidance and in a hurry to a destination I was not familiar with. If I had seen a place to pull over, I would have tried to get video or photos on my iPhone.

I could not, so here is the story and a link to the best drawing I can come up with. I was in a hurry to pick up one of my kids, so I made mental notes and made the image about 4 hours later. Dark but clear night and I was driving northeast.

I pretty much always look for UFOs but rarely see them. I saw normal air traffic and some stars, but then I also saw an elongated solid white light – like a white hyphen on a black screen instead of the “period” that a star or distant aircraft normally looks like. It looked similar to the way stars look to me in the corner of my eye when I need a new glasses prescription, but my prescription is up to date and I could other aircraft that did look like normal dots.

This flying hyphen was maybe slightly oblique, maybe more like an illuminated piece of orzo pasta. It was up and to the left of in my field of vision through the windshield, and it did not appear to be moving (or really slowly?). I watched it for a good 45 to 60 seconds but having to take my eyes back to the road intermittently.

I do this all the time whenever I see lights and, eventually, the airplane I am looking at turns and I can see it is moving, etc., and I know exactly what I’m looking at. So, as usual, I kept assuming I was looking at a normal aircraft at a weird angle — like coming toward me at like a 45-degree angle or something — and that, at any moment, it would turn and I would see its beacon lights, etc.

But remained solid white. Until I approached an intersection where I needed to make a left turn. I was closer to it now, so it was bigger in my field of view.

Now, I did finally see blinking or moving lights, but they have the pattern of normal beacon or navigation lights. My car was moving almost the entire time I was watching it. Now, for about two seconds when I had to stop briefly to make the left turn did I get to see this light/object while not in motion myself.

Even then, it didn’t appear to be moving to the left or right. I can’t say for sure it was not moving slowly toward or away from me. Anyway, now, superimposed in front of the illuminated white orzo was a line of colored “period” lights.

At least three, maybe as many as five. I didn’t have time to gawk long, let alone count. I was startled to see them at all because until this point, I had seen only one solid white light.

I’m not sure if I was now seeing the colored lights now because I was closer or if they just “turned on” at that time. I think maybe the latter but that is a guess. No idea on distance.

Could have been 1,000 feet up and away from me or a mile or two. So that means I have no idea of size. It is a very clear night tonight but it was pitch dark so I couldn’t see anything for scale.

My gut tells me it was somewhere between 15 feet and 30 feet long but that’s a huge guess. There were, red and blue lights in a line They were either strobing quickly at different intervals or possibly moving laterally, like a line of lights on a blimp. I had to keep my eyes on the road and take the left at the intersection, so I can’t tell exactly.

I only know they were not static. They were sparkling on/off or moving. I had to make my left and so I passed and lost sight of it.

At this point I only had about 200 feet to my destination. I went into a school parking lot and picked up my daughter, and within about five minutes was back at the same intersection, with my daughter driving and me as a passenger. But I didn’t see it again.

I really tend to think I did not see an extraterrestrial craft tonight, but I did not get drone vibes and I just can’t figure out what I saw. This is my third sighting of something I could not identify in 30 years. Sketch: https://i.

Had no sound. All flew into the same direction I was going to the car to get her Glasses when I look up I see 3 triangle shape floating silently but all came from the west to East so took my phone out and Called my wife then I hit record as she was asking me what was that. We called my son and niece and my daughter to look at it.

I know u wasn’t going crazy it was clearly not something normal. I stop recording and more came at this point my wife is freaking out and so much was goi g through my head. Would like to know if the Life Start Helicopter from Hartford Hospital seen them cause the ones that came after where a lot lower than the ones I recorded.

I decided to send this video so that you guys can see. I believe the wife might have more videos and my kids and niece where there as witnesses. Experience of a lifetime.

Always was a believer but never in my wildest dream I would have thought to see one.

Saw a moving red disk on 11/19/23 at 5:17 est. I saw what I initially thought to be Venus shining brighter and bigger than usual. Then it started moving fast so I took a video.

It was red and spinning rather fast in a zigzag pattern.

Craft swooped down fast & floated with bright white rotating lights & 2 beams of light darting around & on & off The object seemed to drop straight down from high above the sky. It seemed closer to me at first, but as it slowly moved & rotated,& its lights began to rotate & flash, it became clear the object was massive & just seemed closer. Each large bright white light rotated in various directions.

It had 2 beams of light that darted around downward & turned on & off. After about 20 minutes, it began to lift up farther into the sky & then swooped upward. It then shot straight up into the sky towards the atmosphere & disappeared.

Very still looked like a shiny weather balloon Saw what we thought was a “low flying plane” but didn’t move, and it was too bright for any stars. Looked like a football with a slightly narrowed bottom. I had my son watch it from the back seat to see if it moved at all but he still says it was still the entire time.

Full Report Text:

Metallic spinning object twinkling in the sun. Spinning consistently with what looked like lights as well. An object was crossing the sky in a seeming straight line and consistent slowish speed (a plane flew lower and went much faster).

The sun was reflecting off the object so it was bright but it was spinning so it was twinkling. No sound. A plane flew under nearby it much faster and louder.

I noticed it on the horizon and watched it cross across the sky above me for at least 5 minutes. Took a cell phone video which also seems to show it was spinning. No spoke or trail behind it.

Thought it may be a balloon but appeared higher than the plane and also would have had to be very large to be visible from there. Also it was at a consistent speed and spin, not appearing to be in the wind.

Saw a fast moving object. While waiting in front of my house with my two kids and wife for school bus to arrive, we saw a fast, shiny, object moving high in the sky. The object had no white streaks, or flashing lights the way a jet does.

It appeared to be moving very fast then it slowed down and then it moved fast again.
