Full Report Text:
The craft object that I witnessed was very strange that had translucent like energy moving through it. While driving in the car I witnessed a circular shaped craft the color was grayish silver. It looked like it had energy moving through it.
I had only looked at it for about half a minute then it started moving really quick and was going in one direction and then I thought it had changed and shifted in another and was one really fast.

Orange and white light spheres in the woods This event occured during the summer at my parents house in Stonington CT. I was outside one night smoking a cigarette and I noticed two orangeish / dark yellow lights, maybe 100-150 yards away, traveling together from left to right through the neighboring woods. One was slightly higher than the other, but both were relatively close to the ground around 8-10 feet or so, and the shapes were spheres.
From where I was the lights looked like the size to that of a cd. They had a constant steady rate of speed which I would say was about 5 mph but did not illuminate the trees / wooded area where the lights were. They were just there and nothing else was lit up in the woods.
I spotted the lights in the woods a couple other nights that week, except they were across the yard in a different locations, or were spread out- it was like the lights were there, and then they were gone. Each time I saw the lights it lasted about 5-10 seconds and then they were gone. I did not see any other shapes than that of light spheres.
I thought it was strange, and told my parents. They did not believe me, but the whole thing was spooky. A few weeks later it was late at night, around midnight, and I was watching tv.
A very very bright white light the shape of a sphere and about the size of a tennis ball passed by in front of the window and was gone. This was different from the other lights I saw as they were orangeish, and this was a very bright light and scared the hell out of me. The room where the tv is on the backside of the house that faces the woods.
I had the feeling that it was watching me as it went by. Curious if anyone else has seen orange & white moving lights like this in the area. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

Full Report Text:
Two objects with alternating blinking red lights move toward each other and forms a single object with four lights that speeds away. My friend and I were driving on Route 1, right across the Guilford/Branford border into Branford. Straight ahead, to our left, we witnessed two diamond shaped red lights just above the tree line.
It was nearing sundown, but still well-lit daytime. We found the nearest parking lot - the Hilltop Orchards on Rt. 1 - and watched events from our car.
>From the parking lot, we were facing south. The lights were directly ahead of us. They were two objects, both identical, a good distance apart.
Each object had two distinct red triangular lights, and no noticable frame or body. The two lights on each craft alternated luminescence. The object looked a little like this: , with each of the carats being a red light.
The objects moved toward each other VERY slowly, blinking out of synch with each other. After about seven minutes or so, the two objects met each other, and actually appeared to COMBINE, forming an object closer to a disc (of the same size) with four rotating red lights: . At this point, the object moved much faster, and dissappeared to the right of our view.
We got into our car and drove to the exit 56 onramp of I-95 in the hopes of catching up with it, but had no luck. The craft dissappeared. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
