Connecticut UFO Sightings in 2006

Full Report Text:

Two orange lights swirled around eachother and flew off side by side to the north northeast. Two orange lights about the size and color of the head of a cigarette slowly floated in from the southeast.They flew side by side and when they were almost overhead they began to swirl around each other.

This is when I began to think they weren't ordinary aircraft. At this point they'er moves became even more eratic, but only very briefly. The two then lined up side by side again and started off in a north, northeast,direction.

This all happened as my mom and I were picking up my father for a christmas eve gathering. As they began to swirl overhead I asked my mom to look and called the neighbor on my cell phone.My mom witnessed the the two lights, but they were gone before the neighbor was able to get outside.

My husband and I woke from a deep sleep to a strange blue orb outside our window. This event happened very early in the morning. My husband and I were sleeping and awoke suddenly without cause.

Our bedroom was illuminated in a pale blue glow. For a split second I though our neighbors were outside and heir car lights were on, but he glow was much too bright to have been car lights. Both my husband and I were unaccountably terrified.

All my hair was standing on end. I was too scared to turn and look out the window, I just felt like something was out there and looking at it would be horrible. we kept hearing a strange sound repeat itself over and over.

It was a high pitched "ping.ping." It would echo and fade and then repeat.

We finally looked out the window and saw a huge blue orb hovering stationary above the tree line. He feeling this experience gave us was so extreme. I really can't explain it in a way that makes sense.

We knew that the orb was something "other." We strongly felt that we were being observed, scru! tinized. Our skin was tingling all over, vibrating kind of.

We turned away from the window and tried to ignore, but we couldn't shut our eyes because idea of closing our eyes with that strange light in the room and the orb so close outside was just terrifying eventually the noise stopped and the light faded away. We turned to look and the orb was gone. It was totally silent outside.

Our cat would not come in the room and didn't stop staring at the window for a while. We have never found out what that orb was but we have spoken to several others who saw it that same night, but at different locations. His orb was not far out in the atmosphere; it was literally right outside our window, just above the trees.

It was approximately 40 times the size of a basketball. About a year after that we were walking through a park late in the evening, I don't remember exactly what time, between 7 and 9. We saw the orb again but only for a second, then it vanished and there was a loud "boom," like thunder but it couldn't have been because it w! as snowi ng.

The power went out immediately after. It was so eerie. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate.

October 14.2006 2:24 Large bluegreen fireball fell acrosss the sky in Fairfield Connecticut I was up because I was unable to sleep, and stepped out the back door to my yard for a little night air. I was looking at horizon level when this beautiful big(to my eyes the size of a large beach or basketball) bluegreen fireball fell diagonally across the sky.

This is the second time in my life I witnessed this. The last time was around 1967 in broad daylight. At the time I assumed it was a meteorite, and thought the same thing last night, but when I typed in bluegreen fireball on the search in my computer your site came up.

Because of the lateness of the hour I'm not aware of any other witnesses. It was very definitely a ball, but there were flashes all around it almost like a rotary blade.It was visual stunning, but frightened me because of all the stupid nuclear and terrorist talk your bombarded with these days!Afterward, I just assumed it was a meteor.

I would like to know if it was. I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks.

2nd Witness: Large bluegreen fireball fell acrosss the sky in Fairfield Connecticut I was driving home from a late night poker game around 2am on 10/14/2006. I was driving east on I-84 through Waterbury, CT and in my left peripheral vision I noticed a moving light. I looked over and it appeared to be a shooting star.

It was actually kind of startling, as it did not burn out and looked like it was coming at me. Then, it looked like it blew up, similar to the ending of a firework. It was very brilliant, but startling.

I didn't think much of it and just settled on the fact that I was tired, had a couple drinks, and it was probably just a firework. I told some people and they thought I was crazy. Recently I was looking up the UFO event at the Chicago airport.

I found this site and started looking through some of the reports and noticed someone else had seen the fireball at the same time and date. Man I am glad someone else saw it, I thought was hallucinating. As the other report said, it was VERY visually stunning but frightening at the same time.

I really looked like it was coming at me. I hope to see another one again in my lifetime!.

Aprox 8PM eastern in Broad Brook, CT I saw a known black triangle craft. It had one large white lamp at te front tip and two large white lamps at the rear corners giving the impression of triangle in shape. Between the rear lamps offset semi center was a red lamp that was blinking.

The craft was flying very low altitude. The three main charcteristics that main this craft noticeable was the following: 1)Large white lamps (much larger than other craft) 2)One red blnking lamp no others on wing tips etc 3) Very low altitude and non commerial flight path I have seen these before and each time it followed the same charcteristics. Very low to ground and neverin an area standard to personal or commerical aircraft.

Pictures and video have proved fruitless due to zoom capability and darkness. The noise was near non exsistant considering the altiitude it was at.

Waterbury, Middlebury Space Craft? (I am just explaining what i have seen.) My friend and I were walking around our school campus. Then we started talking and i told him what i saw.

He explained to me he has seen alot of wierd things in this area. I pointed to where i have seen this object before but never thought anything of it. In defiantly the object was still there i was like this is impossible.

I said to myself it has to be a cell phone tower at the bottom of the hill here. But the object was no where near the cell phone tower. Then it started to move in a circler up and down motion.

The object seem to be appearing over the I-84 and Middlebury area. Then we looked away for a minute to talk and then we turned our heads again to look at the object it was gone. Now i started to get wierd feelings inside me like wow.

I always kinda thought there could be someting out there but never in our solar system. Now i think its defiantly true. ADDED INFO- I have seen this object before in the Past year.

UFO Engineering Blueprint Scam Internet This is very basic, probably a hoax. While google searching for ufo reports, I randomly intercepted a document which appeared to be a classified diagram of a space ship layout. I will not reveal what agency stamped this.

I viewed the page for about a minute. It was an engineering blueprint. I tried to reload the page to see if it was false, and I could not get the page to reappear.

It was if it had vanished. It was so out of the blue I could not believe what I had witnessed. This was roughly around September 06, 2006.

Though this is an estimate, it was a while ago. I still have not forgotten this event. In all truth it may have been a scam.

It has not happened since. ((NUFORC Note: One of many reports submitted by the same source, who elects to remain totally anonymous, and who provides no contact information. Probable hoax?? PD)).

Full Report Text:

Fleet of white triangular airplanes, circular center with three lights, rear again trangular. The night was comfortable for August, despite heavy clouds all day threatening rain. I'm not a good judge of distance, but my guess is that the cloud ceiling began at about 500 to 700 feet.

The airborne vehicle was inside the clouds, seemingly trying to hide in them. As the atmosphere around it swirled about, different views of the ship came into sight. Eventually, the complete outline was revealed.

The nose of the ship was gently rounded, the body, triangular with rounded corners. The circular center had three "running lights," two white and one red. The rear section was again in a triangular shape.

The ship was silent, still, completely white except for the running lights. There was no engine sound. As other portions of the huge cloud formation swirled, I noticed part of another craft, exactly like the one I was watching just to the right, and then another to it’s left.

As my gaze moved over the low cloud cover, I could see portions of other crafts in front of it and behind it. The object I first noticed was part of a fleet of ships and because of the swirling masses, most of what was up there was obscured. As far as I could see, and that distance was extremely limited, the area of sky over my head was filled with them.

Did anyone see what I saw? Can anyone help me verify?.

flying disk i was laying in bed with my blinds up and all of a sudden i was starring at this fast moving object through my window it was just above my trees in the backyard moving at about 5 or 6 mph it was circular and very small. i almost thought it was an electric R.C.

or something but my neighbors were not outside and no one was around outside besides it was to high in the air. it was gray/silver small moved in a shaky fast circular motion and then it was gone vanishing behind the trees. the second i saw this i ran downstairs to tell my family what i just saw.

i made a report on the 16th and being a nigth person and smoker im out side alot i find it odd i see this object a 2nd time 5 days later, stars and shit u would normally see continulousy (spelling?) i find this odd also its out 2 hours earlier in a higher location in the sky i tried calling my friend across town who witnessed it last time, but he was unavlible so i call my other friend 3 towns away in east windsor, who i told about the first time, and she did she it right where i said it would be, and as she saw she was in time to see it change colors again from a white to a crimson red, the other difference this time is it was shooting off what appeared to be like fire works, for the alttitude, location of the horizon and the fact it wasnt seen starting lower, but above the object, i can cancel out the odds it was a firework or a flare the other issuse was there was a beam of light to the right of it at an angle, in which it was, if u did that old trick where u extened ur arm out stick out ur thumb, cover one eye, and notice u can ussally block the moon . this beam from the object was long enugh to not be blocked, meaning it would appear to be longer then the moon when visible, my street light also flickered, a few times after beam was shot out, and my cell phone with full battery shut off and wont go back on, i currently have it in the charger i've also notice that since the incedent, there has been an increase of small cargo jets headed to West over air force base, smaller then a 737, but shaped different, kinda like the ones the air force or navy use for radar, and shit again if you have any info on this please contact ((e-address deleted)) i mean seriously i told my friends about it the first time, and i have 2 witnesses 1 for each account, DAMMIT I STOPPED GOING TO THE BAR OVER THIS.

1-2 diamond objects, low on western horizon, changing colors, hovering, and within 1/2 nearby air force jets headed toawrds object lets be honest on this one, i go out for a smoke, im a late night person of the age of 21, and sober for a 20 hour period prior to this, and so im ((deleted)) in the front yard, whos around i live in the woods right out in Somers, Ct off of Route 83? i notice a red light coming up from the horizon, my thought is typical jet. it stops. thats nothing new.

from the distance and angle it could be turning.except its barely over the tree line, so its pretty low on the horizon. heres when i knew what it wasnt, im lookin at this for about 5 mins and it hasnt moved, it looked like it was twitching, and the color changed to blue lil odd, so i call up my friend on my cell phone whom lives on the other side of somers, bout 4 min drive from the state prison.

i tell em to look at the star low on the horizon on the western sky, he thinks im seeing shit, i hear em gasp, at the same time we're seeing it change colors again to green and expand, next thing we know theres 2 of them, one above the other, this last for 10 mins as it moves south on the horzion, he decides its time that he needs some sleep before he starts assuming and finding himself writing this as well. i watched it for an addtional 15 mins and watch it converge into one again, i decided to give up when i notice the usal night time animal noises stopped, and having about an acre of property seeing neighbor hood cats and raccons running east ward up into the monutians leading to stafford and hamden, im thinkin, wait, animals fleeing away from it.if they're scared i should to, as im going back in, theres also a noise around this time i couldnt describe, it wasnt animal, but it didnt sound like an aircraft either the last great thing.

if anyone has info on this please contact me at ((e-address deleted)) the event happened starting around 1:30 am on june 16, 2006 in the north central ct, south central ma, area ((NUFORC Note: We presume that this is intended to be a serious-minded report, but we are not certain. PD)).

Airplane West Simsbury Very Bright Reflective Silver Driving car in West Simsbury, saw silver airplane off Old Farms Road. Expert opinion years later would state that it most likely would have been aircraft from Simsbury or Bradley Airport in normal air traffic zones. The object in the sky was very shiny, which I became reminded of when using aluminum tape recently.

Based on expert opinion it most likely would be an airplane, just reflecting a high amount of light. This is not abnormal in itself as the sun is bright at these times in the summer, the unsettling detail was that the airplane itself was so glowing with shine. This brightness has not been observed since this event years ago in 2006.

I would state that even though it apparently leans towards a normal aircraft, it was so shiny with luminance that I have not been able to explain. There were other cars on the road, though I am unaware if anyone else thought anything of this airplane incident.

A PICTURE TAKEN OF THE MOON AND VENUS REVEALED THIS THING I THOUGHT TO BE A SHOOTING STAR. NO REPORTS OF SHOOTING STARS WERE REPORTED FOR THAT DATE/TIME/AREA. JUST NOTICED A FLASH OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CAMERA FLASH.

DIDN'T THINK OF IT UNTIL LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS LATER THAT DAY. I HAVE ATTACHED 2 PHOTOS. ONE CLOSE UP.

LOOKS LIKE BLUE TO RED (MAYBE HEAT COMING OFF IT AS IT ENTERED THE ATMOSPHERE?) IT WAS 5/24/2006 AT EXACTLY 4:37:42AM. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Not sure.

Daytime sighting, boomerang-like shape, camo color It never occurred to me to report what I witnessed this past spring, but after seeing a recent TV program I realize my experience may be insightful or useful to someone. It was particularly unusual b/c it was a beautifully clear afternoon in the spring with blue skys and wispy clouds. I was doing yard work and scanning the sky for the local redtail hawks when my eye was drawn to a moving object far above traveling west to east.

It flew silently in a straight line and into the horizon of the trees. Incredibly, it appeared to be camouflaged with the blue sky. What was remarkable was I never would have noticed it in the sky except that the moment my eye caught it, it was moving over a cloud.

I saw a definite fixed shape and structure. Even once it passed the cloud its outline was well defined although the blue color of the craft matched the sky. It was shaped, overall, as a triangle, but its edges were rounded and the rear edge slightly curved towards the front "point".

I suppose the "boomerang" description is most applicable, but its width was fatter or thicker than that word implies. It may or may not be pertinent to note there were no lights beaming, flashing, or shining. I watched it, awestruck, (it was daytime!), unlike anything I've seen or experienced, until it was gone in the distance.

There was an object flying at a high speed and I sure as heck can't identify it to be anything of this world. Immediately afterwards, I ran inside and sketched what I saw. I don't know if anyone has ever had a similar experience, maybe this report can be of use to someone along the line.

I am a 24 year old student working towards a degree in communication disorders to become a speech and language pathologist. I consider myself conservative, analytic, and not easily fooled. I was so moved by what I saw that day, it was profound.

it was what it was. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Slow moving, glowing object sighted over Hartford. At 22:31 on Monday April 17, 2006 in Hartford, CT 06120 over the Meadows there appeared to be a "Teardrop" or "Pear" shaped object traveling at an unusually slow rate of speed. The object seemed to moving in an eastbound direction at an altitude of approximately 12,000 feet.

As a pilot, "single engine VFR", I am certain this was neither an airplane nor helicopter. No lights appeared on the object although the entire surface structure appeared to glow a pale blue. Trailing behind the object was a hazy contrail which did not drift despite a strong northerly wind.

The object appeared above the "meadows" for approximately two minutes. Inquiries to both Bradley Air Traffic Control and Brainard Air Traffice Control confirmed that there was no air traffic in the sky at that time to account for this object.
