My Wife and I believe we saw a UFO Thursday night!! We were coming home from bowling in separate cars, driving along Turnpike Road in Willington about 9 pm. Near the intersection of Moose Meadow Road I saw a Blue sphere hovering in the distance --then all of a sudden it zig and zag and speed off. I looked ahead as I was driving and thought I saw two blue-ish objects off in the sky that were not moving like a typical aircraft would but they were far enough away that I could not tell their exact shape.

These two objects did appear to have another red colored lights. I did not say anything to my wife as she is skeptical. Then last night (12/19/09) I was telling my son about it on our way home from picking him up at the train station and my wife says --"oh ya I meant to tell you I saw it too.

She said it was weird as it moved real fast after it was stationary. She actually said she thought to herself it was a UFO.

Triangular UFO with flashing lights and light beam. There was a large triangular shaped object hovering to the right and rear of my car. I glimpsed it out of my rear view mirror before stopping abruptly, hitting an elderly woman, and pulling to the side of the road.

I was on warren turnpike road going towards my high school around 1:00 PM. The triangular craft spun around shooting what seemed to be a yellow beam from its nose, flashed sporadically, and zoomed off into the open sky. I ((deleted)) before climbing back into my car and continuing to school.

ALIENS AT MY HIGH SCHOOL There i was, in school, when all of a sudden, i looked out the window and i saw 25 cigar shaped floating objects. upon closer inspection, i noticed that they had glowing red lights adorning the sides of the craft. i was terrified, but by the time i snapped out of my shock and tried to take a picture, clouds had covered the sighting.

i swear on my life, however, that this happened.

2 seperate observations. Fairfield, CT I figure I would submit my observations, though it has been a few weeks since the events had accrued. I guess the events took place around the 1st of October.

I smoke cigarettes out side my home and observe the night sky every night. I live around NYC region and see many planes travel over my home, and so I would consider my self capable of identifying a plane easily in the night sky. My first observation.

I saw a bright light breaking through the tree line on a clear night, at a height I observe many planes around 11PM. At first I figured it was a plane coming at me in a direct line, and I was observing a line of sight to its head lights, although it was brighter than most planes, so I decided to observe it longer than I typically would for other night sky lights. The path the light was traveling was coming at me and it did travel directly over my house and off into the southern tree line.

What I would typically see when a plane travels in this fashion would be. First the head lights when it is traveling towards me. 2nd the underbelly lights as it traveled above me.

3rd the head lights would dim and fade to black as it passed away from me, and I would observe the tail lights and the underbelly lights. Well this light didn't follow those rules and it sutatined its single point of light through it entire traverse of the night sky and maintained its lluminosity. It did appear to be low in the sky although I can't declare how far that would be.

It made no noise. After it passed beyond my ability to see it, I noticed that there were many planes in the night sky, more than usual, and their paths didn't follow what is typically the flying paths for airliners and personal aircraft comiing in and out of the airports around my area. Made me think that I wasn't the only person to observe this event.

A few days later, it was over cast but it wasn't raining. I was observing the moon light breaking through the cloud cover and it resembled the NASA Black Brant XII cloud dispersal I viewed on Youtube. I watched the moon light break through the clouds for awhile as it sustained the appearance of the Rocket launch for awhile.

I have to mention that I felt that something was going to happen, it was odd, and it made me uncomfortable. I looked into the northern sky and observed a light break the tree line, it was followed by 2 other lights. They appear to hold the points of a triangle and were traveling to the south.

When I declared to my self that this was not something that I had ever observed before, the 3 lights broke formation and the leading light changed direction towards the west and the other 2 lights followed, but didn't take the paths of what I would say are typical of things I have seen in the night sky (radical and some what random change of direction.) It was a short event and lost sight of them in the western tree line. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date is approximate.

Large saucer in the sky over Westport, CT! Late at night, I saw an enormous saucer in the sky above my house. This town is right near the Long Island sound and the ocean, and the saucer was floating through the sky towards the water. There were no lights or sound, it was simply illuminated by the moon.

Shortly after first noticing the object, it disappeared behind the tree line, as there are tons of trees in this area. Did anyone else see this???.

Bright beam of light omitted from cylinder. There was nothing in the sky as far as a craft or flying object that was visible. Something from past the stars looked like a huge flashlight beam coming down a long cylinder and flare out towards the bottom of the light.

As we looked at it in aww the light sucked back up the atmosphere beyond stars. No clouds in the sky at all very clear bright night. As the beam went up the flare got thinner like it too was fitting back into the cylinder shape as it went up and disappeared.

The beam of bright light that was higher up was very bright and defined contained beam however at the bottom where it flared outwards it didnt seem like earthy light/flash light type beam that flares out it seemed to be a more fluffy,foggey. Its hard to discribe. I can say whatever it was omitting that beam of light was not visble and the light even as big and wide as it appeared past the stars.

Large green, illuminated light flew right in front of our car, reaching as low as 100 ft. Early Sunday 9/20/09 at around 12:50 AM, my boyfriend & I were driving down S Frontage Rd in Vernon, CT & began to slow down for the 4 way intersection with Bolton Rd. We were heading back to Boston after visting my hometown for the day.

At that time, we saw a white, greenish light moving in front of us at a speed we have never seen in our lives. It began up to our left & was shooting to over to our right. It flew right in front of the car.

It was really bright and moving in a downward motion very fast. My boyfriend estimates at least 1,000 mph, I couldn't even guess how fast, in my 26 years it was the fastest thing I've ever seen move by far. It flew over us within a matter of 3 seconds.

It probably started at 500 ft high and when we lost sight it was down to 75-100 ft. It looked as though it was going to crash into the woods nearby, but the trees to our right prevented us from seeing anything further. We decided to go straight onto the highway instead of t! aking a right to follow its direction – it was scary.

I don’t know how anything moving that fast in a downwards motion could not have possibly crashed. It would have caused major damage, it was probably the size of a car. I kept looking back at the woods to see if something had crashed, but I saw no indication, it was completely dark.

It was by far the most unexplainable thing I have ever seen in my life. We didn't hear any noise come from it at all. If it was an aircraft flying that close to our car, you can bet it would have been very loud.

For the few seconds I had my eyes glued to it, the best comparison I can think of - remember Homer Simpson's radiation bar that bounced around during the Simpson's intro? It had the similar shape, though we think the UFO was a little rounder. It had a whitish/light green color and a bright illumination like I've never seen. I wish I could find someone else who saw the same thing.

With the direction it came in, it flew right over a high! way overpass so I feel like someone else had to have seen it, ! however there were no other cars on the back roads I was traveling, it was a very quiet night out there.

huge ball of light I was standing on the porch with a friend at about 12:45am when I spotted a huge (round) ball of light. It fell from the left to the right in a downward motion in the northern part of the sky facing Waterbury, CT. It was larger than any other light I have ever seen in the night sky and it was aprox a quarter size of the moon.

It had no noise and no trail and was gone below the trees before I could even figure out what it could have been. Very big and very bright and almost perfectly round in shape. Wondering if other people who were not surrounded by trees got a longer, better look.

A very bright light moving extremely fast in Westbrook Connecticut I was outside, in a parking lot, with a friend. We were talking and I looked over and saw a very bright light low in the sky. The light was moving very quickly and then flew behind trees and I lost sight of it.

Large very bright light overhead in a conical shape that went straight up into the sky, and silent It was a beautiful crisp and clear evening, with no clouds in the sky. The sighting took place at Veterans Park on 9/19/2009 at 8:05 pm and 51 degrees in Norwalk, Connecticut out in the Harbor. We were coming in the Harbor on our boat (4 people on board) from Sprite Island after a BBQ, with our friends following us in their boat(with 5 people on board), heading for the dock, when we noticed this exceptionally very large bright light over the harbor,that was a conical shape shining down.

We watched to see is this was possibly a helicopter,or some other type of aircraft that was searching for something, but then the light started to go straight up into the sky until it was no longer visible. It left a slight vapor mist, that was white and hazy that evaporated. There was absolutely no noise, it was silent.

That's when we knew it couldn't be a plane or helicopter,it did not fly forward, it flew straight up. The group of observers (being 9 total)ranged from Age 11 to 50. There were 4 children,2-11year olds, 1-12 year old, 1-13 year old,and the adults 1- advertising executive,1-marketing director,1-Interior designer, 1 Photographer,1-Guest visiting from Australia.

We all saw this, this was no ones imagination. ((NUFORC Note: Missile launch. PD)).

Wallingford, CT UFO siting? Okay, so I have never seen anything like this before. It was me, my boyfriend, his mom, dad and brother, and we were sitting by a fire in the back yard. The whole back yard is free of trees and you can see the sky very clearly.

It wasn't cloudy. All of a sudden, by boyfriend looked up, and saw a bright light. It looked as though a spot light was shining down on us.

My first thought was that it was just that, a spot light or something of the like. But then, it started to dissipate. Like it started to disappear, the light was going back to the sky.

Not like it was coming from the earth but above it. We were like is that seriously happening? It just disappeared. But the light was so large, that it looked like a huge moon underneath light clouds.

i don't even know if i am explaining it well enough but it was really creepy, especially after the "unidentified creature" in panama. I mean people are saying its a hairless albino sloth. but who is to say its not.

! Who is to say its not an alien. and now there are random sitings of strange lights in the sky. I mean its nothing like i have ever seen before, it was just this HUGE light in the sky.

and it got all foggy and it was so strange. we were all just sitting there in disbelief, like did that just happen???????????? There was no sound, it moved slightly, and there was just a huge beam coming from it. i dont know.

were just all really freaked out right now. and i thought i should post it on something. i dont know.

circle of light with beam of light shining towards the ground I was cleaning out my car and I saw a reflection on the window. I looked up the road and there was a ring of white light with a big beam of light shining down towards the ground. I kept looking at it and my mother in law starting walking down the stairs to the 2nd floor screen porch and I yelled to her about the UFO.

By the time she was at the window, the light went upwards into the sky and went out of sight. This is a very clear night, with absolutely zero clouds in the sky. It was an amazing view that I will not forget.

Odd bright light in sky, with haze around it that seems to fade out. Almost looked like an explosion in the sky that faded out. First it looked like a flashlight was facing downwards but with dusty haze around it.

Then it just seemed to start fading away. There are no clouds out tonight and I can see stars everywhere. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Star-like object in the sky with beam of light directed down to earth We were driving home with the top of our car down, along Route 67. I looked up and saw a bright light high up in the sky. It was similar to, but slightly larger than a star or planet.

A beam of light emanated from the "star". The beam was directed down, like the tail of a comet. After a minute or so, the light disappeared but the beam was still visible, although fading quickly.

Cone shaped bright white light - gradually disappeared / resembled a flashlight pointing down from the sky My husband and I were camping in Southbury, CT. At exactly 7:52pm, I called our son. As the phone was dialing, my husband and I noticed a white oval light with a cone shaped light coming out of it.

It appeared as though a large flashlight was shining down on us. The sky was clear. It was a beautiful night.

We were watching planes in the sky, and we know that this was no plane. It did not move. The light slowly disappeared.

We never saw anything like it. We are not nuts. There was a group of younger college age students next to us.

We heard them talking about it, and we saw them looking up. They were drinking, so they may not report it at all. There were appx.

10 of them over there looking at the light. After it disappeared, there was nothing remaining. There was no aircraft of any kind in that area.

Large, bright white "spotlight" high in sky over Colchester, Ct (Hartford County), ascended vertically. On September 19, 2009 at 7:50 PM, I was laying on a hammock facing the southern sky on my raised (level to a second story) back porch. The sky was dark, after sunset.

I had been watching the stars come out. The sky was clear, no cloud coverage at all. No moon in the sky.

(The moon was in new phase, and rising and setting during the day, according to a moon phase website). The hammock is on a self-supporting frame, and there is nothing on my porch to block my view facing east or south. My house was to my right, or west.

I was looking at my phone when a bright light above and slightly to the right of my perspective caught my attention. The light was an extremely bright and extremely large white light, shining down towards the ground. It was very high in the air, possibly higher than aircraft would generally fly.

The light spread out like an upside down cone, but without a distinguishable tip. For about 15 seconds, the outline or form of the light was very clear and distinguishable. The light was about the size of a normal full moon, or just slightly smaller.

The light rose vertically. As it did, the clarity of the outline of the light dissipated and was replaced by a patch of “brightness” in the sky, which slowly became larger and larger, then faded slowly to black. This process lasted about 4 minutes.

At its largest, this patch of brightness against the night sky would have about filled the dipper portion of the big dipper before fading to black. The simplest way for me to describe it is it was as if someone had turned on the brightest spotlight I could imagine from the atmosphere, and as it ascended, I seemed to be viewing the light from underneath the source. According the compass on my iPhone, the light was approximately at 180 -189 degrees south.

I thought to run inside and grab my camera, but figured I would miss it. I attempted a picture with my iPhone, but by this point, I could only make out a bright patch against the night sky and the iPhone could not record anything in the sky. The light was completely faded at 7:55 PM.
