Full Report Text:
One flying unidentified object seen. There were blue and red lights flashing. The color changed from blue to red and red to blue quick.
It was similar to the brightness of a cop cars siren coloring and tone, it was as quick as a shooting star when in motion, it was going up, slightly back and forth, and erratically. The object moved, emitted lights, and had no sound other than a slight thundering sound in the distance. It did not engage with any other aircraft.
There was no trail or haze. It was the size oof a dime and a quarter of a football field away from me. The shape of the craft was triangluar and wedge-shaped.
It was a clear night sky no rain no clouds just the UFO. Musa Elsheikh and Ahmed Musa had no impediments whatsoever at the moment of the sighting.

The left one was bigger and white- the right was was smaller and red. It was NOT airplanes. I was driving and looked up- saw to things in the sky that we’re heading and shooting down.
Almost like an airplane far away but it wasn’t. One was red and one was white. They were biggish and slowly disappeared.
By time I pulled into a plaza to take a video- they were both gone. I do have Live Photos I did in fact take while driving. I was honestly scared they were bombs coming for the local nuclear plant.

My wife and I were sitting in a parking lot deciding what we wanted for dinner when I saw what I believe was a UFO My wife and I were sitting in a parking lot discussing what were going to eat for dinner as the Ihop we were at just closed their doors. My attention was drawn to the sky as I saw a bright white light. I initially thought it was a "shooting star" until this half-diamond looking object ejected a fuschia, blue, and white stream of light.
This object accelerated and disappeared in a matter of seconds leaving me screaming and my wife asking what was wrong.
Full Report Text:
it flew low to the ground and it was the driver of the car that pointed it out. it had red and green and white lights on it. it was a craft that looked like a cessna 310 but it looked to have a dual fuselage, but the protruding fuselages were much longer than an average airplane.
it also didn’t have any propellors and it didn’t seem to have any engines. it was flying around 225-300 feet above the ground and it moved slowly. slower than an average cessna, and it didn’t look to be descending, even though the closest airport is about 6 miles away.
it flew right over the car and kept going. it had around 10 lights on it, two green lights, two red lights, and a bunch of white lights that looked to be attached to the craft. it also made no noise as it moved, unlike the general drone of a jet that you would normally hear.
it was unlike any airplane i’ve ever seen before, and i’ve seen many airplanes as i am an airplane/jet enthusiast and i do a lot of research on my own time about various aircraft.

I was on our deck, I looked up and saw a sun which turned into a dumbbell. From my deck I looked up and saw a sun shaped object. It was yellow mixed with orange and the more I watched it the outside rim started to look black and looked like it was coming closer.
I got scarred and I got out of it’s view. After 2 minutes I looked to see if it was there, but it had changed it’s shape into a Barbell. It was outlined in orange and was half put together.
I could see the sky between it’s markings. I watched it as it finished it’s shape then it started moving, very slowly and disappeared as it went around a tall tree with yellow leaves. It had no sounds coming from it and I could see though the pattern markings and it showed no fuel sources .

Looked like a spotlight but mot attaches to anything. It looked like a search light from a helicopter. It was bright white.
It was near the highway, maybe 150-200 feet in the air. I thought it was a helicopter at first but it did nor have any navigation lights. It also was not moving at anytime we saw it.
It was not pointed in a general direction, there was no structures underneath it. I have no idea what it was.

Bright light in sky. Shortly after pulling onto Main Street I looked up to see a bright light at first I thought it looked like possibly a helicopter with it’s search light on and it was moving pretty fast from right to left. After pulling onto Horton Avenue I realized this was to high up to be a helicopter with a search light on.
The craft was still moving right to left and the light was on the right so on the back. The light was extremely bright for how high up it was, I’d say it had to be as high as a normal passenger plane would fly. The light shinning in back which was a white light looked dusty.
After pulling onto Horton Ave and watching it for another 15-30secs the light turned off (it did not fad out) but you could still see the craft moving and it looked like it was leaving a dust behind. It moved quickly behind the tree line and that’s it. The object was not over head but maybe a few miles away, where I was looking it was towards the Cheshire/Hamden line but it’s hard to decipher how far it was from my location.
But it was bright and large enough to see where I was. This did not look like a shooting star, green fire ball or comet. This was a craft of some kind.

Flashing red/white lights - whirring sound when lights were 'on'/visible - no sound when lights were "off"/not visible It was the sound of it that brought my husband and I outside. We looked in the sky from our front door and looked toward the dump/landfill and there appeared to be an airplane in the sky, but the sound was too loud for where the object was. It sounded as if it was directly over our home, but it was a few miles away.
The difference between the object and an actual plane is the lights blink quicker and never turn 'off'. The sound went "in and out" like really loud then lowered until there was no sound. In addition, the sound worked in tandem with the lights; as the lights brightened the sound grew louder and as the lights dimmed the sound grew quieter.
The object moved from left to right in the sky and moved in a linear motion. I was never able to see the craft itself, I only saw the lights. Finally, once the noise ceased and the lights were no longer visible, I couldn’t see the object anymore but suddenly there was an easily identifiable airplane to the direct left of where I was standing.
The sound never came back and I couldn’t see the object in the sky again. My husband and I witnessed this together. While my husband is skeptical that it was a “UFO”, he agrees it was an unusual experience.

Too Close for Comfort I was walking my dog about in the complex of where I live. As I am always looking up to the sky i noticed this very bright Oval looking light hovering very close. Too close to be a plane.
Too far to be a Drone. Just big enough and close enough that it was clearly visible. It was only 1 that I could see.
I know it wasn't a plane, for one passed it but below it with the blinking lights. a As I stood there looking up and I pointed like as to indicate I see you. After which it disappeared into the night clouds.
Full Report Text:
We saw a large ship completely lit up moving at an impossible speed across the sky for 2 seconds We could see details of a ship like the clear shape and size of one ship moving incredibly fast. Moved across the sky very low to the ground when it disappeared behind a tree line completely silent. The ship was gray, very well illuminated so the ship could be clearly seen.
It was very slightly foggy out that gave the ship a haze, but could still see details of the large ship.
