Silver round object hoovering in the sky during daytime. I was driving home and noticed a silver object in the sky. At first I thought it was a blimp but I have been on blimps and this shape was round.
I turned up the hill and kept thinking about how it was not a blimp. I turned around to get a picture but had to go down the hill and pull into a parking lot. I saw an employee come out and said " look up there and tell me what you see".
It had disappeared. The next day I told a coworker and he said the blimp went by but that was at 10am not 4pm. I asked if it had Snoopy on it and he said "Yes".
No Snoopy here I saw all silver.

two stars rotating 180 degrees and spliting apart Two points of light, just like stars, started rotating in a perfect circle they were 180 degrees apart, then reversed direction staying 180 degrees, then reversed again. Then they stopped and split apart on a line. I lost track of one of them and the other stopped and just looked any star in the night sky.
thats it! ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

White, green and red lighted object in Western Sky White, green, and red lighted object in Western Sky. We were outside getting ready to watch the meteor showers and my mother noticed something with lights that was just standing still. It was up a ways in the sky, and at first she thought it was a satellite, but it wasn’t moving and it was far to clearly visible to be a satellite.
We grabbed our binoculars and noticed that it had 3 colors to it, and the lights were flashing and changing positions. It began moving after about 25 – 30 minutes of watching it and it moved very slowly just beyond the mountain top. We got into our car and made our way to shelter rock school in Danbury and watched it for about 10 – 15 minutes and again it moved.
We then went to Lee farm Park in Danbury and watched it for just a few minutes but then it was really to far away to really see anything.

We left our school early that day, and then went bike riding in Huntington Park. We stopped for a picnic, and saw some craft flying by. They were silent and egg-shaped.
They were copper in color, and were about 50 feet long at about 300 feet above the ground. They whisked by and we did not see them again.

In Sept. of 1998 at aprox. 10:00PM my wife, daughter and I came out our front door headed for our automobile to visit my wife's mother in Norwalk Ct.
We could not help noticing a very large egg shaped ring of steady yellow lights at tree top height, that was assending very slowly to the southwest. It continued in a steady course for 2 ot 3 min's, maybe more as we watched. It was absolutly silent.
No sound whatsoever! It continued it's course until it was almost out of seight. Whatever was in the center of the ring could not be seen. We figured it was a lighter then air craft.
but there were no sound of engines. Maybe a ballon.but I don't believe they are allowed to fly at night and the shape was not cosistent with a ballon.
So to this day we don't know what the heck it was. I would like to know if anyone, anywhere has observed anything like this, or if anyone may know what it could have been? My wife, daughter and myself have only a passing interest in UFO's. We neither hunt them or venture an oppinion about ET's.
But after this encounter, we sure would like to know what the heck that thing was. Once you see something it is a huanting experience. I only wish I had a flash camera.
It was so close I don't see how I could not have gotten a very good picture. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

Triangular lint formation over Bethel Ct I was walking at night and saw a set of bright lights arranged in a triangle/ boomerang formation in the sky towards Danbury. It hovered for ten minutes then slowly disappeared.
Full Report Text:
A triangular shape, Pie Shape with lights on sides that had no sound and was still until it darted off. The sighting was in 1983, some time towards the end of March. I was walking home from my then girlfriend's house.
I would say it was around 9:30 pm I took a short-cut over a hill, it was an open field at the time, at the top of the hill I heard helicopters, that's what made me look up. There were 2 helicopters circling and above them was a triangular shaped object, it was thick, like a piece of pie with lights around the edges. I watched for a while, the triangle didn't move, I started walking home again and but I kept looking back to watch.
I stopped at the park and watched again for a while. Then 3 Jets whooshed in and the “ship” shot off to the North West remarkably fast. For the remainder of the walk I didn't see again until I reached the peak of High Street and I saw it off in the distance, it seemed to be higher and farther away than before.
I didn't see and other planes or helicopters in the sky. When I got home I went upstairs to the back bedroom and looked out the window, (my sisters room). I could see it but is was far away.
I went to my parents bedroom and got binoculars out of my father's closet. I could see it pretty clearly. I'm not sure what happened next, I don't remember if it took off or if I fell asleep.
It's sort of a blank spot in my mind.

light seperated into four parts and flew away at right angles I was looking out the car window and saw what I thought was a planet. There were no other stars or lights in the sky. I could not tell how far away it was.
All of a sudden it seperated into 4 equal size pieces and each flew at perfect right angles and in perfect synchronized time to the four horizons and disappeared. Then there was nothing. It lasted about 5 seconds.
The speed was unbelievably fast. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
