Triangle ship white and red lights, no noise. This sighting was reported to the state police troop B immediately after. I witnessed a group of white lights which were evenly spaced while looking out of my window.
I became curious and went outside to look at the lights some more. I can not say how high up this triangle ship was, but I was surprised to see that all the lights were connected and were lightly illuminating the center of the ship so I could see the middle of a massive black triangle. There were 5 white lights and two red ones, one red one for each side on the end.
It was headed towards a power plant, south west from the north east. No noise was recognized. Later I met other people in my town who saw it when I did too.
One person told me that it made a strange noise, but was silent the rest of the time.

The craft was pure white. It made no noise. The sea gulls did not sense it.
It was going about 200 mph. It was at about 1000 ft. It traveled out to Durham, then went up.
I could see windows. Rear fins. It seemed to change shape as it passed in front of me.
I am a private pilot and know that this was not a craft of this world. I have a 5 second mind blank as I saw the craft pass me. I keep seeing that moment over and over, but cannot recall what it did.
It blocked that time out of my mind.I think it changed shape. ((NUFORC Note: Date of alleged sighting may be approximate.
PD)).

Amber wing at treetop level, silent, low and slow. In Oct. 1989, I was driving east on the Merrit Pkwy in Norwalk, getting off exit 38, when I saw it.
As I approached the exit, it was going north on rte 123. My exit to 123 looped around facing west at a stop sign. It sailed over my truck at 20 MPH, 120 feet up, about 75 feet wide, seemingly internally completely lit, color was amber.
It was a delta-wing-like (silent) shaped craft, first impression was that it was a carnival in the sky. I still can see it in my mind. Reported it by phone that night to CUFOS.
It glided over a now decommissioned National Guard Armory which was north of the Pkwy. It was not from any known neighborhood. ((NUFORC Note: Date may be approximate.
PD)).

Huge, soundless, V shaped craft seen in Kent,CT. After reading about others who have spotted a similar craft I thought I would mention this siting that took place when I was a Senior in High School. My roomate and I were coming back from a late night run and as we came back to campus we noticed an object moving from east to west near Mt.
Algo in Kent,CT. The object made absolutely no sound, it had 5 white lights underneath in a V shape, it moved extreemly slowly. Two other witnesses were present, a teacher and another student.
We were all just standing there staring at this thing as it slowly slipped behind Mt. Algo. The thing that seemed most strange to us was that it was HUGE and yet made no sound! ((NUFORC Note: We will attempt to have the witness have the other witnesses submit reports, as well.
PD)).
