I literally saw a plane or jet chasing it. This is not the first time I've seen what could be UFO over Bridgeport Connecticut but they never look like the typical UFO. I don't see ships or crafts.
I see lights. I can differentiate if I'm seeing stars or other planets. But every time I see one it's in the form of light.
It was just a big round ball of light racing through the sky. It caught me off guard because I was on my way to do an Uber eats order. I did a double take and again couldn't believe I was seeing this.
There were trees and stuff around so it kept cutting in an out but then I saw the plane. It wasn't a regular plane because of how fast it was going, it was literally on the ass of this light ball and it literally just look like a jet chasing a ball in the sky. I know it sounds crazy but I see a lot of unexplainable things that I never really share, only with friends because I know how crazy I'd look.
I new it was some type of plane because I saw the wings and the lights but it was moving too fast to be a regular plane and it was too close in proximity of this light ball.

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.

Two Amber looking lights in the sky of Bridgeport I was walking back to my car with my girlfriend and my family when she pointed out something in the sky. I look up and I see two amber/orangish looking lights that are in line with each other. They were moving quite fast and the there was no blinking like an airplane does.
They were silent as well. They then turn and go a different direction before disappearing in in the sky/clouds. They became harder to see because it seemed they were now flying away from us.
My family also saw the lights!.

A large red ball descending at an extremely rapid rate of speed from very high above larger and faster than planes disappearing . I witnessed from the terrace of my apartment in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the southern part of the sky a red ball about the size of a quarter of the moon that night fly from east to west at a downward trajectory from the top of the trees about the same height of the moon whiz at a high rate of speed downward and disappear. It was unlike anything I had ever seen and I am a constant watcher of the night skies.
It lasted about seven seconds. Planes go by all the time and fly horizontally and look like specs. This was large, came out of nowhere almost as if it came from another dimension.
It disappears out of my sight line and although I watched for a while longer did not reappear. I am sixty year old and not prone to fantasies. I love looking at constellations and planets.
For instance I can see Orion and Jupiter from my terrace. I worked as an administrative assistant and taught children. I currently take care of my 82 year old mother.
When I was young our school had a planetarium which started my fascination with the night sky.

Boomerang/chevron shape covered in bright green lights - hovering in place for over an hour no sound It appeared at a height between ground level and 30’ - my deck is 10’ from the ground so 20 or so - it had 3 shapes to it. A boomerang shape with the curved tip facing on an angle downward and it was outlined in small green lights. To my eye it appeared there were 2 of them, could be described as chevron shapes - outlined in green facing angled downward.
Attached and above another boomerang shape with curve facing upwards. This was also covered in small green lights but the top chevron/boomerang had 2 bright yellow lights right to each side of the top of the curve of the boomerang. Between the top and the bottom a the bottom of the top boomerang was a res ((sic.
Red?)) light that flashed This hung in the sky for over an hour right next to my house without making any sound. It was no sound in the ambient background and there was no sound of worrying for my propeller or any machinery and when it turned it did not make a sound and when he darted back-and-forth it made no sound but it changed shape as it turned from the side it almost looked like a dragonfly because of the boomerangs.

3 Flicking stars moving in circles went from slide to slide (sic. side to side??) too fast to be a plane, then two disappeared, and one stayed in one spot for 15 min to 30 min., then disappeared.
I grabbed my phone to call my husband cause for that moment I did not have WiFi signals didn’t take pictures because I have tried taking pictures of the moon and it comes out as a spot. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Red and green flashing, motionless object that then descended at high speed. Female when outside to smoke cigarette. Noticed a red and green flashing light in the air.
High, suitable plane height. It flashed slowly from red to green, and back again for several moments. Female called her boyfriend outside to look.
As he got outside, it went to red only and then suddenly dropped immediately straight down and out of view at high speed. Much much faster than a landing plane or a helicopter could safely do. Worth noting that not long after a legitimate plane flew across the sky at normal plane speed with normal blinking lights.
Completely different to what we had just witnessed. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

As my partner and I exited our vehicles we both noticed off in the distance above the horizon approximately 10+ yellow/orange non flashing/flickering balls of light traveling west to east above 500FT and what appeared to be at least one mile away. These balls of light appeared to be absent of sound and traveled in groups. Travel direction and altitude remained constant until they reached a particular eastward point.
Each ball of light (individually) accelerated instantly to incredible speeds and disappeared in the distance once at that point. Several photos and one small video were obtained during this sighting.

Diamond shaped white light object moving too fast for a plane, hovered over the trees, then disappeared. Woke up because of the wind. Took a few pictures of the clouds, so I've noticed the sky this morning.
Then noticed a very bright, white light, diamond shape object appear over the trees straight outside my window (I'm up on a hill). Passed it off as a plane maybe towards Stratford, but it was moving too fast. It hovered for a few minutes, I captured a bad video of that for about a minute.
Then it appeared to be moving again and then red lights could be seen and it moved behind trees. Haven't seen it since.
