FAST MOVING UNDULATING LIGHT.RO WENT OUT TO GET A.M.

NEWSPAPER.LOOKED UP TO SEE ORION AS I DO EACH A.M.

NOTICED A FAST MOVING PIN POINT OF LIGHT ( JUST SOUTH OF DIRECTLY OVERHEAD). FASTER THAN AIRCRAFT OR SATELLITE,HEADING SOUTH TO NORTH. IT MOVED WITH A UNDULATING MOTION,LIKE A FISH SWIMING.

AFTER CROSSING ABOUT 5 INCHS OF THE SKY AT A CONSTANT SPEED, IT MADE ALMOST A U-TURN (MAYBE 170 DEGREES)TO THE S.S.E.

SPEED INCREASED FANTASTICLLY.SO FAST THAT AFTER ABOUT 2INCHES OF TRAVEL, IT WAS TOO RAPID TO FOLLOW.IT WAS SO FAST,IT SEEMED TO JUST DISAPEAR.

Two bright lights in the southeastern sky that waxed and waned in brightness in unison. Not even sure this was a UFO sighting. Two lights waxed and waned in the southeastern part of the sky.

The lights were parallel to each other, appeared stationary and lasted only a couple seconds. The lights were blue-white. The main oddity was that the two lights waxed and waned in unison.

The size and brightness seemed identical. The brightness rivaled the brightest objects in the sky at the time. There was nothing in the sky or surroundings to give a sense of scale or distance as the sky was extremely clear and cloudless.

It was shaped like a cigar. It had flashing lights on it. One of the witnesses said that he saw that same thing before and he had gotten scared the first time he saw the UFO.

From my angle it appeared to be floating west. It then few out of sight. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate.

PD)).

strange light in the AM sky New Haven, CT i first saw this aobject while driving into work, it was in the form of a light and seemed to be square in apearance, and the like was more like a constant shimmer than a flashing, this was not blinking like an aircraft. when i parked my car i was facing the object directly. after about three minutes i noticed that the object started moving, it was hard to tell if it was moving up or toward my direction.

and at 6:29 the light was gone and was unable to see any object that may have been emitting the light. well thats it maybe someone else saw the same thing and may have more info on this.

two of the objests moved away a centeral object the moved together, and as they moved the two objects spread further apart. they came to a stop. then then moved closer together.

both objects seamed to rotate. the larger of the two seamed to change shape and direction of rotation. during this the centeral object moved veryly slowly away toeard the east until it faded from sight.

the other two objeste followed shortly there after. P.S.

on oct. 1 2004 at approx. 17:00hrs.

I and another person saw, what I called the centeral object, in sthe same area of the sky. I watched it for about three min. then it started to move eastward until it faded.

Both sitings were about one to one and a half hours befor dusk ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD)).

A white, beluga whale shaped object about a third the size of a small plane flew from horizon to horizon in 3 mintutes. It was a beluga-whale shaped, white, ship that flew from northeast to southwest over Softball Field 6 at Memorial Field in Simsbury. There was woods around the field, and behind the woods was a school.

It was a clear day with no clouds and flew from horizon to horizon in about 3 mintutes. It flew faster than a cloud but slower than a plane. There was a small breeze, but not enough to propel it.

It was about a third the size of a small, three-person plane. (not commercial)It made no noise whatsoever and that was how you could tell it wasn't a plane. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

Witnesses elect to remain semi-anonymous. PD)).

Strange Light Returns I feel a little foolish making this report, as I just submitted a report for 9/7/04. All I can say is that I am not a person who makes things up. I think I am a very careful observer and I can only tell you what I saw.

On Sunday, Sept. 12 I went out on my porch to look at the sky. It was about 8:00 P.

M. My 2nd floor apartment faces Southeast. I looked to my right (Southwest) and saw a bright, large, white light approaching at low altitude.

This looked very similar to the object I reported on the 7th. Only this time the object appeared much lower in the sky. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I would estimate the object was only 1000 feet up or so.

This time I did not hesitate. I ran inside and grabbed my pair of 7 X 35 binoculors. As I came back out the object was just beginning to pass over my head.

It was moving in a straight Southwest to Northwest direction. I estimate the speed at somewhere between 100-150 MPH. Looking at the object did not change much.

It still appeared to be a solid ball of white light. I tried to stabilize the binoculars on one of the porch columns to get a steady view. At one time I thought I might have seen a small dark (almost black) triangle leading this light, but I am not completely sure of this.

It made absolutely no sound whatsover. It passed by me and continued it's steady course. As it got to the Northeast it took on a reddish hue.

I thought this might be from haze. It then dimmed and seemed to blink out. I couldn't help but think it was turning off it's lights as it would be approaching Bradley Airport just north of Hartford.

I looked carefully, at no time were there any other lights other than the one solid white light. This object appeared the same from every perspective. It was a ball of light.

About one minute later a small private plane flew by travelling at about the same altitude and direction. However this small plane was a greater distance away from me. I could hear the small plane clearly and also see directional lights as well.

The small plane was travelling about the same speed as the object. I watched the small plane as it flew off in the Northeast. It never dimmed and I could see it's lights until it flew over the treeline in the distance.

So much for the haze. Maybe 5 minutes later I saw a bright white light coming from the Northeast. I thought the object might be returning.

But looking with binoculars I could see 2 small white lights in the center, and the red and green directional lights on the wings. This was an airliner which I see many of every night. One thing occured to me.

As this airliner flew by I could no longer see the white lights on the front. I could also hear it clearly and it was at a much higher altitude than the object I observed.

Star turns to Sphere and takes off I saw a very peculiar object tonight. It was around 8:30 P.M.

We had just finished dinner and I went out on our porch to have a cigarette. We live in a second story apartment in Torrington, Ct. Our house faces almost directly Southeast.

We get an excellent, almost unobstructed view of the sky. I am an avid sky-watcher and have enjoyed amateur astronomy from a very young age. I know most of the constellations in the sky on sight.

Other than some clouds on the horizon to the Northeast, the sky was clear tonight with good visibility. I sat down to enjoy my smoke when I noticed what at first I thought was a very bright 1st magnitude star. It was about 30 degrees above the Southeast horizon.

At first I thought good, it is clear and will be a good night for looking at stars. But then it struck me that this bright star was out of place. This would be in the constellation Capricorn which does not have any bright stars at all.

I could see the Great Square of Pegasus to my left. I could see the bright star Altair much higher in the sky and a little to my right. I could see the constellation Sagittarius low in the sky to my right.

I am just telling you this so you will know I am not mistaking this object for a star. So I was confused by this "star" and stared at it, trying to figure out what it was. This star looked large as well, about the size of a BB held at arms length.

And though it was very bright, it was not brilliant like a star. I looked at it for about 10 seconds, then I thought it started to move. There are wires from the telephone poles that run directly in front of my apartment.

Using one of the wires as a reference, I could detect this object moving lower in the sky very slowly. Suddenly, it moved very quickly toward the South. As it did it decreased in brightness and faded from view.

It also seemed to change from white to bluish, and then slightly green. Even as it quickly faded it was very strange. It appeared to be illuminated from within.

At the last before it faded from view, it was very dimly lit and looked like a crystal ball. It looked transparent, like a globe or sphere. From the time it moved quickly till it faded out could have only been a second or two.

This quick movement probably covered 10 degrees of sky. I see planes every night flying into Bradley Field in Hartford and further east to Boston or Providence. In fact, I probably saw at least 20 planes tonight.

This object moved at least 4 or 5 times quicker than the planes I see. It never made a sound. This object must have been at a fairly high altitude.

I ran into the house and grabbed a pair of binoculars I keep on a bookcase by the front door for stargazing. I was back out in seconds and searched the area hoping to spot the object but it was gone. I stayed out for another 30 minutes or so, but saw nothing but stars and airliners crossing the sky.

This may seem like a long story for such a short sighting. But it was a very strange sight. I believe this object was under intelligent control.

You even get the feeling that it knows you are watching. Wierd. This is about the 4th or 5th time I have seen these objects in my life, all quite different from one another.

I can only attribute that to the fact that I spend a great deal of time looking at the sky and have all my life. I am a very down to earth person. I do not really believe in extraterrestrial life, but I cannot deny that there are some very odd objects flying around.

I have my own theories about this. I think they might be spiritual in nature, but that's just my opinion. I really don't know for sure.

I am 50 years old and have worked as a Quality Assurance Technician at the same factory for the last 15 years.

3 bright lights in the shape of a Triangle I was on my balcony watching the last rays of the sun set when i noticed some bright white lights in the distance. On my balcony you can see planes approaching Bradley Airport in Hartford, Ct. I paid no attention to them at first assuming they were a plane when i noticed that there were no flashing indicator lights, just three bright lights in the shape of a triangle.

I continued to watch as i called my girlfriend from inside to come see but by the time she came out the lights had proceeded to fly over my building slowly and gracefully until i could no longer see it past my rooftop. It was shaped like a triangle with bright lights at each point. I could hear a low rumbling that got slightly louder as it flew over my building.

I could not see anything in between the lights just black, the stars were out and you could not see them between the lights, It appeared very high up and appeared no larger than your tip would look at the and of your arm fully stretched out it also did not follow any of the flight paths that the approaching/departing planes would take.

Yet another UFO spotted by my house I live right by a farm and the sky was pretty clear it was around 3:20AM and I was having trouble sleeping I had seen UFO's at least two times before. This time the object was much like the last one I saw a couple of weeks ago. It was staying still for about five to eight minutes and was very bright.

The object was only one color light yellow almost white. After remaining still for awhile it began to move very slwly in a circular motion eventually becoming very bright actually affecting the way the sky looked. It then shot off which looked like it either went out to space or traveled to a different dimension or something.

This is twice I have seen this sphere like light this summer and several summers ago I witnessed two UFO's different to this one with my whole family. I just found your site today and that is why I am writing this. I have a feeling after seeing two on the same night with each other years ago and now two this summer on seperate occasions that my house might be a hot spot for UFO activity and I will try staying up more often to try and get a picture or video to send.

I also have a strong feeling inside that more and more UFO's will be showing up all over the world and that more should be put into investigating what these are, what they are doing, and why they are here. I will be visiting your site more often and will be telling everyone I know that is interested in this subject to check out your site. Thanks.

glowy fuzzy white butterfly/angel shaped thing. butterfly/angel shaped fuzzy glowy white thing very very high up in atmosphere. blinking thing on tip of it.

Did not disipate like a cloud would. was brighter as it was lower on the horizon and darker as it passed overhead. but still very very high up(above orbit or so) easily as big as the moon looks in the night sky.

looked it with binoculars as well and have no idea what it was. very very slow moving. my 20:30 time is approximate, but i saw it about 5 minutes after my adephia cable internet went out cuz that is why i even went outside.

They reported an area wide outage. no clouds in sky, all stars were nice and clear. ((NUFORC Note: Result of earlier missile launch.

I am a business consultant with an MBA currently on vacation, renting a beach house on the Connecticut shore. My 14-yr-old nephew and my 18 yr-old babysitter saw UFOs first. I arrived home with my 22 yr-old niece at about 10:30 pm on 8/25 and they were excited, having seen about 10 "sparkling" objects flying in the sky above Long Island Sound.

As I spoke with them about it, several more appeared in the sky, and by midnight we had seen approximately 40 of them. They would fly from over the ocean to inland, all in the same direction, approx. SE to NE.

Several of these objects would fly in triangle or trapazoid patterns and looked to deliberately fly close and then closely cross each other's flight paths. At times, they looked like they might crash. Two flew very low over our heads and we could see the bottom of one.

It looked like a triangle with a light at each point. When the objects flew over, a low flying helicopter appeared and at first appeared to follow one of the objects, but then contiuned straight on its path, away from the object. During this 2 hour period, there was a very low "planet" sitting over the water.

It was motionless, large, shiny and sparkled red, blue, green and white. At 11:50, it stopped sparkling, dimmed and flew off in the direction of the other objects. None of these objects made any noise - all were completely silent.

The next night we sat out at 10:15 pm to see if we'd see them again and did. We saw approximately 30 "sparklers" flying in the same direction as the previous night and behaving the same way as had the others. We also sat out last night and saw approximately 10 "sparklers" - same MO.

I contacted an Air Force office in New Haven (a number I received from 411) and they said there were no bases in CT, Montauk was not being used (closest military base to us, although it was closed decades ago), they were not flying over Madison, Ct and the objects "were not ours." We will sit out tonight to see if any more of these strange objects appear. Post Script: Also: On the second night, a large bright white object appeared low in the sky over the water, arced directly down towards the water and disappeared.

((NUFORC Note: We have spoken with this witness on several occasions, and she sounds sincere and credible to us. We do not know what the witnesses observed. PD)).

It was augest 22, and we were driving home from my brithday party when I saw a disk with a slightly domed roof hovering in the sky. We were driving home from my brithday party and I looked up in the sky and saw a ufo hovering in the sky (it seemed like it was at a very high altitude). I could tell it was metalic because the sun glemed off its surfase.

I could see enough of the craft to tell it was a disk with a slightly domed roof. As I looked at it I said to my mom "look! its a ufo" she responed "ok cool I belive you (in a sarcastic tone)" I turned to argue, when I looked back it was gone. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this young man, and he sounded quite credible to us.

PD)).

Full Report Text:

Triangular grouping at high altitude slowly moves and vanishes Object appeared to be 3 stationary stars in an isosolise triangle, non-blinking and continuous in size, shape and orientation. These lights appeared to slowly start moving east and were at extreamly high altitude, no sound, object was huge and avoided all existing stars perfectly so that none were blocked out as it traversed the clear sky. (Milky way was visible) Object made a question mark course towards the southern sky where the lights quickly vanished before our eyes, it was as if the lights were turned off on purpose almost directly over us but slightly to the south.

I kept saying, that I can't believe it is missing all the other stars. so that we could see it block one out. It came extreamly close to several stars that would have been blocked if the triangle would have been a perfect triangle, we were waiting to see if some of the object would block those, indicating a larger shape than the lights outlined, but this did not occur.

I am 48 years old ex-USAF electronics tech and the altitude was so high that the area inside the stars/lights appeared to be the same color as the space around it not darker as with a lower object. I beleive this object should have been seen nationwide and could have been as large as several miles to several hundred miles across, if the altitude was 80+ miles to being in deep space. It was if some thing took these stars and wanted to remove them from the sky, by sliding them off of the star map while no one was looking! A slight variation in each of the star/light colors was visible a slight yellow, green/blue shift.

I can't beleive any observatories or radar installations did not catch this. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect that the witness may have observed the three satellites, thought to be part of the U. S.

Navy's "NOSS" satellite system. They have been reported multiple times to the National UFO Reporting Center during August 2004. PD)).

Bright light video taped, I just like the person in LI and the one in AZ witnessed a bright stationery light in the sky after being waken by what sounded like a big bang, firework or explosion. But never any fire engines came. I watched the light for a while and then began to video tape it.

It was egg shapped or appeared to be with a black band across the top. It appeared to be a ridge. The center was redish with a greenish edge.

I am sorry, but this is not venus. I can see a clear ridge where the band is. The video shows the red change a bit.

I hoped to spot it again but it has been cloudy. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect the witness may have been looking at Venus. PD)) ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS: Dont even tell me It is a planet.

Cameras aren't telescopes and I captured this object with zoom lens. I wrote before and do not see my description posted. I have on video an object that you will try to tell me is a planet and most likely venus.

But you would have to then finish your statement with "stupid". Here is my story. I woke up hearing a loud explosion like noise.

I thought it to be a transfomer or a gas like explosion. I then went to my window to look for signs of fire and listen for the sounds of sirens. There were none.

While looking in the sky I noticed an airplane flying into the path of what I thought was another airplane but the light looked like it was flying toward me head on. I then realized it did not move and the other plane flew by it and appeared to be miles away. I then got my video camera out and began taping.

I thought I got a planet until I hooked it to my tV. NO planet. MY camera zooms 350x.

Not a telescope. Yet the object was clear, round with a ridge spitting out red lights, spinning several times within 2 minutes. Planets don't spin.

I am not even a true believer but no one is going to tell me that this is venus. Not true. I could never have zoomed in to a planet with my camera.

Planets have not indents, lights and cant spin several times in 2 minutes with an obvious clarity. Long Island guy in NY video taped this and I would like to chat with him. A person in England has the same object on video tape.

I only wish I taped it longer. The sound I heard was probably a sonic boom since there was never a need for emergency help.

A ship flew right over my head We were walking down the street to the store and looking at the sky at whatever. A Large object flew so low above us we coulda thrown a a rock at it. It looked like half a hexagon with a long tube type front.

It had a blue light at the front of the tube and red blinking lights at the front corners of the hexagon. It flew above us at a pace of (I would guess) 15 mph we watched it fly away behind the trees. We may of saw several small glowing sphere ships around the area that were stationary but we're not positive about those.

Full Report Text:

Two photos captured a "starship enterprise" looking shape, possibly indicating a camouflaging of some sort. The UFO was captured on two photos. The first photo clearly shows the UFO with a blue sky background.

It has a shape which closely resembles the starship enterprise from star trek. The second photo was taken approx 1 minute later, showing the UFO at a slightly different angle, showing a definite metallic reflection. A very interesting point to be made here is that given that both photos are approx 1 minute apart, it is not reasonable to say the UFO was travelling at high speed to avoid detection by the human eye.

Also, given that I did NOT see this aircraft that day, I have come to the conclusion that it had a "camouflage" of some sort - which was somehow not effective on the flash of a camera, even though it was a disposable camera! Given the photo timing, I'd say it travelled at a fairly low speed, and low altitude as can be seen by the photos. It was pure coincidence that I had taken two photos, as my itent was to capture the greenery of conneticut having stayed there for a month on work purposes. Of course it may be possible that there were two of these UFO's.

I will send the photos by email, and have the negatives if there are any interested parties. This is not a hoax! my email is [email protected].

au should anyone wish to enquire. ((FOLLOW-UP CORRESPONDENCE FROM WITNESS)) Hi, I've already submitted an online report, and stated that I would send the pics via email. These pics are genuine, and I have the negatives with me.

The timing difference between the two pictures is about a minute, and were taken in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. I am from Australia and was in the U.S.

on a two week work assignment. At the time I can say without a doubt I did not see the UFO when taking the pictures, and I would think something of that strange shape would have caught my attention. Also note that I only had a disposable camera with me, and was simply taking snaps of the "nice road" and wasting some of the camera snaps.

I was not looking through the lens at the time, I was driving and simply held the camera in front of me to take the random shots, (as strange as it may sound!). So, I am sending the two scanned pics, and two other pics which are only of the UFO from the first two pics with a higher scanning resolution. Looking forward to hearing any thoughts on this… ((END CORRESPONDENCE)) ((NUFORC Note: We have looked at the four photographs provided by the witness.

The photos indicate a black, or dark, object, positioned above a line of trees in the distance. We do not know what the object is, but its lack of symmetry suggests to us that it may not be a genuine UFO. One possibility we consider possible is a black plastic bag, but that is pure surmise, on our part.

We do not know what the object is. PD)).

Brown rolling cylinder w/o sound nor light that seemed to have paddle-wings or changed shape as it proceed. The backgound - a clear evening, sun just setting. Object seen directly overhead.

Traveling in straight line. Speed seemed paced as if musing. Brown, cylindrical shape no lights or obvious features, except it seemed very large, larger than normal aircraft.

Altitude apprx. 800 ft. Viewed at first as an aircraft in a barrel-roll, because it spun as a stunt pilot would.

As the object proceeded, the view was no longer overhead but from behind, as it left almost straight away. The observation from here presented wonder for how long a pilot could continue such roll, as it was continuous and without falter from its course. Then when far enough away the observation was astonishing.

The view of a rolling plane from behind would show its wings on end, becoming mere lines to the eye's perspective, yet this view showed a continuous and slow roll with large flat oval-shaped wings very visible from behind, [or the object was shifting in form from round to oval and back, which is where the mind and the eyes refused to agree.] Not until after it went beyond the tree line did observer realize that it was not a conventional aircraft.
