Connecticut UFO Sightings in 2013

Full Report Text:

UFO over State Captiol New Years eve Fireworks Show at 6:10pm at Bushnell Park in Hartford, before the show started we saw a large object, couldn't tell if it was V shaped like b-2 or saucer shaped given the angle and line of sight but in the sky made a bit of a line shape, with multiple colored lights of a reddish orange color and a Green color. The object appeared to hover behind the Capitol Building before falling rapidly then disappearing. What struck as as odd to cancel out what it could be are; though a plane or helicopter has the same colored lights, these lights seemed to alternate and if it were a plane then the a single light stretched across the entirety of both wings, aside from Medical helicopters from the hospital on the other side of town the capitol is a no fly zone this didnt take the shape of a helicopter, There was no noise from the craft, which lifestar (local medical helicopter name) makes quite the noise when in the city area, we also canceled out the chanc! e of it being part of the fire works display, being it was before they went off, and was in the wrong direction.

Then shortly after the fireworks display started, and lucky enough to have my camera out with recording capabilities, the obeject was seen again this time on the other side of the captiol. unfortunately in video mode my camera has no zoom ability nor night vision, and appears as like that of a star in the sky. Though the object can be seen between the space of the capitol and where the fireworks were going off.

Additionally towards the end of the encounter the object started a rapid descent, then a dead stop then it did it again and vanished, what strikes me odd is where the object vanished is a point of open sky, nothing between me and the object for it to hide behind, with a few flashes it was gone. The other object flashing below and to the right of it is a warning strobe on a flag pole, of the no fly zone. Some people noticed i was pointing my camera away from the fireworks which drew some curiosity but was answered when they saw the object themselves, i was lucky to get audio of two of these cases.

i've already uploaded it to youtube and will provide a link upon request.

Shocking. I was coming to meriden from waterbury on i 691 at 5:45 pm. As i was getting closer to the castle craig area exit 4 i see a bright green object that i thought was a comet.

But the green light did not fade away. As i got closer i looked harder and realized it was a flying object. like a cigar shape With light on front of the object.

From left to right on the highway. I think it even caused an accident as traffic was backed up. Very unusual for that area.

I got off the exit and drove to the little airport to see if there was any sign of traffic. And to my supprise it looked closed to me. I can't get the image off my head.

Rounded lighted object seen over Woodbury CT Me and my mom were driving home when suddenly a rounded object with lights appeared in our view. We watched it thinking it was an airplane but the lights did not blink or strobe. As we were looking at it it got lower to the point where our car actually went ahead of the object ( this is how i could tell it was low because if it was high like an airplane we wouldn't have been able to pass it and to where the angle we had to look at it had to change ).

We stopped, now questioning what we were seeing. The object continued to move past us ( to my view it was moving to my right and I was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, looking out the drivers side window) until suddenly, and i mean INSTANTLY, stopped and shot away into the other direction (away from our car, to the left of my view, and towards the rear of where our car was faced).

Driving along rout 202 heading to canton from torrington ct I was pointing out the Orion constellation to my girl as I noticed what seemed to be a very bright out of place star out of place in my opinion cause it was near the three stars of the Orion's Belt but brighter than any of the three just as I took note of it the object suddenly streaked across the sky heading north at a very high rate of speed. ((NUFORC Note: We have corrected the time above. If Orion was visible, the witness might have been looking at the star, Sirius.

A brief sighting of a grey crescent shaped object flying at night. On 11/28/13 at approximately 6:35PM, my cousin and I were outside and were in his neighbor’s yard in Prospect, CT. As we were looking south east into the night sky without a cloud and clear visibility he pointed out an object to me.

I looked up and saw a dark grey crescent shaped object about the length of five full moons moving at a constant speed southward. We only saw the object for roughly 10-15 seconds and it remained at the same altitude. It did not make any noise and was entirely silent.

The sides of the object both ended in a jagged point and were not round. After the incident we hurried inside and contacted the NUFORC.

10 red orange orbs flying across New Canaan It was approximately 6:30 pm on Thanksgiving. My husband was walking our dog. He came to the front door and asked me to come outside and check out “these weird lights”.

I saw 3 bright red/orange orbs moving across the sky (moving west to east). They were in a perfect line moving at the same speed on the same path. They were completely silent and no other planes were flying around.

They appeared to be about 700-1,000 feet altitude. My husband said he saw 4 orbs initially, but one drop down from the line slowly. When they passed over the house, we went to the back yard to continue the watch them.

Then, one at a time they appeared to be ascending upward and they disappeared. We ran back to the front of the house and 2 more appeared coming from the same direction (west to east), at the same speed, on the same path. Again, they passed over the house, we ran to the backyard, they ascended, and disappeared.

This occurred 2 more time…10 orbs in total. I recorded some! of them on my phone but it is not very clear. There were 6 witnesses (my husband, in-laws, sister-in-law, and my son.

I cannot explain what it was and I am really freaked out by the event.

multi-colored flashing orbs in sky over Ct River For the past 3 nights my family and I have noticed a ball with multi colored lights on it in the general vicinity of Haddam-East Haddam. At first we thought it was a star but it was twinkling with different colors. So we looked at them through a high powered sighting scope used for hunting.

Upon looking through the scope we realized that they were more of a cage of vertical lights in red, green, white and blue. The lights pulsate up in down. Sometimes they altogether disappear minutes after viewing them.

This is not the first time we have seen them and at other times there are more than one, sometimes three. We have seen them at about the same time at night. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect a "twinkling" star sighting.

PD)).

3 conical, one spherical object spotted from I-91 over New Haven / Long Island Sound on November 18 I was driving southbound on I-91 between exits 12 and 8 as it was nearing sunset. There were few clouds in the sky and I was observing the color gradations of the sky when I noticed a strange bright object in the SSW sky. It appeared to be like a comet with a tail, only it was hanging in the sky.

Color was like a yellowish and I couldn't tell if it might be a strangely symetrical cloud catching the sunset light. The "tail" or point of the cone was pointing up and right (/). While still driving I scanned the horizon and noticed two more of these "comet" or cone objects, as well as a what appeared to be a LARGE bright star or planet- that is it was a bright cirle or sphere.

It was too big though, and the sky was in that last light where it is still too early for the first star to show. All these objects were relatively low on the horizon, and the two other cones were oriented differently - one with the til pointing straight up, and the other pointing to the left (\),(opposite the one on the other side of the sky). I exited I-91 and entered the Lowes parking lot, which both lowered my perspective (being lower than the highway), and partially blocked my view because the building was high.

I maintained visual on the cone and sphere in the more westerly part of the sky. I was able to ascertain that the cone was in motion bcause I parked with it visible between branches on a tree. It was actually moving quite fast (down and left toward the horizon), and within a minute or so was out of view.

I then fixed my vision on the bright sphere and watched it for a minute or two. Suddenly it seemed to be getting smaller, and then disappeared completely from the clear sky. It was a matter of 5-10 seconds from when it was static size to when it became invisible.

I went into the store for 5 minutes, and returned to the highway heading southbound once again. This raised my perspective once again, and I was able to see the object on the right once again. It had changed shape, gotten slightly larger (closer, atmospheric distortion??), and was lower on the horizon.

It now had a rather flat "top", and a curved "belly", still with a diagonal orientation (/). I was only able to see it for another coupe minutes because I drove into the city and view was blocked by buildings. I was on the phone with my girlfriend throughout the duration of the experience describing to her in real time what was happening.

I don't know if you'd call that a witness. The mystery objects have me intrigued, especially the one which "shrank" and disappeared. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information.

I was driving up east Main Street to dunkin donuts when to my left I saw like 8 balls of orange/red in the sky. I went to dd and on my way back down east Main Street the balls of fire had separated. I proceeded to follow them when I saw another person on the side of the road taking video of these objects with his phone.

I stopped to speak to this gentleman and he too saw what I was seeing. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

It was about a few minutes just after 6:00 PM, November 15, 2013. Berlin, CT. Visibility was clear, and I observed stars and other aircraft during the incident.

I was in my car at the middle school parking lot, waiting to pick up my child. The school is located on a hill, and as I looked to the east, I noticed a formation of solid red lights. They were far enough away to appear as small dots.

There seemed to be 4 sets of 3 lights. All were moving at the same speed. (Objects moved slightly faster than a prop plane, but slower than I normally see jets travel at.

) No blinking lights were observed – just solid red. They were in a triangular /chevron formation – 3 lights per triangle – so 4 triangles/chevrons. Looked a bit like this: < < < <, the points and ends being where the lights were located, but more horizontally oriented.

I watched from my car for a few seconds, and then got out of my car to step up on the low wall of the planter in front of the school, to try to further observe the lights. All of the lights appeared to be at the same altitude, and equidistant from each other. All were moving together.

My first impression was of a military convoy/formation of some sort – but no flashing lights were visible – just the solid red. I observed the formation move slowly from south to north, approximately over the town of Cromwell. I lost sight of the grouping of lights after they went behind the trees which blocked my view from the parking lot.

I observed at least 3 other planes at the same time – at different altitudes and traveling in different directions one to the south west, one to the south east and one nearly directly overhead – and was able to hear noise from all 3 – but no noise from the convoy. Approximate duration of incident was about 2 minutes. There were no other witnesses.

I started at this round bright light travel in the air above at least 3 houses. When it came to the house across the street I waited for it to come out of sight from the 2 large trees but it never appeared. This is the 2nd time I have seen this in the early morning and it is traveling way too low to be an airplane plus there was no sound.

They appeared to be low.

maybe 10,000 feet or so and all were absolutely silent. It was a quiet night.very still.

no wind and any plane engine would have been easily heard. They all traveled at the same speed and slowly. There were no clouds in the sky.

visibility was excellent. I watched them go from horizon to horizon.
