Full Report Text:
unusually shaped craft with blinking lights was flying slowly and low in the sky I initially noted a very bright light in the sky that I have never seen before on my commute home. It was unclear how high it was in the sky and I first thought maybe it was a light on a tower. As i drove closer to where it seemed to be, I realized that it was moving in the sky.
I ultimately got to a point where I could see that the light was actually on a craft of some kind and I ended up driving "under" it. I was looking up at it so intently that I worried that I would not be able to continue to drive appropriately, so I pulled off the road into a small parking lot so that I could get a better look. The craft was shaped like a 3-armed boomerang, with blinking lights on the ends.
It was moving slowly and quietly in the sky and I finally lost sight of it when it moved away.

6 ufos, one smokes and they vanish. Saw 6 hovering way up in the sky. We decided to pull over and follow them with the car to get a video.
One started smoking, and as we turned a corner and came to a clearing (.5 seconds later) the disks had vanished. All we got on camera was the smoke left in the air from the craft.

Flying disk shooting beam of light into trees above haunted cemetery seen by US Soldiers. One night, me and some friends went to a local haunted cemetery in a small town in CT, famous for it's legend of the "Green Lady" it was around 12:30am. The road for this cemetery is on a dirt road in the middle of the woods.
We turned down the road and proceeded to the cemetery. Coming around a corner there was a massive object hovering directly over the trees shooting some sort of light into the woods next to us. The object was in the shape of a disk, it had a radius of about id say 35ft.
It had multiple colored lights of blue, green, red, and yellow arohnd the whole craft, the color of the beam it projected into the woods was yellow. We were all in absolute awe, and not to mention scared out of our minds. The craft didn't stay long once we came into view around the corner, it probably only stayed 10-12 seconds and the when it went away it just shot off in a diagnal line up and across the sky, when it did so it did not make any noise whatsoever.
We tried to follow it by going onto the main road and started heading in the direction it went. We could see it off in the distance but was soon out of sight completely. Two out of the three witnesses, myself included, are in the United States Army.
All have graduated high school. None of us drink alcohol at all, and have never tried any sort of drugs. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate.

In the spring of 2012, a bight light and a hundred deer are spotted in Burlington, Connecticut. One night between March and May 2012, two friends and I were exploring our town called Burlington, Connecticut. It was a clear night and pretty much a normal night until this event happened.
All of a sudden we pull onto a dead end (no outlet) road and saw something bizarre. There were about one hundred deer in the last yard on the left. The man or woman in the house were looking out into their yard.
We all felt that it was odd seeing so many deer at a time. Most of the time we would only see deer while they crossed over the loose asphalt. As we pulled a 180 degree turn in the dead end is when we all saw what was in the sky.
There was a bright light but not bright enough to hurt your eyes which was stationary in one place. As we kept driving, the road came up to a fork and we took the left. We were traveling pretty slowly around 15 – 20 miles per hour.
The light was still as bright and in the same spot. The next amazing event was that the light shot off in the direction we headed to the right of us. The altitude of the light in the sky was about 35 or 40 degrees.
Then POOF, it was gone. It was almost unexplainable. The object was in the same spot for at least 3 minutes and flew across the whole right side of our vision.

Strange organish bright light over northwest CT When I turned bedroom off, I was ready to bed and I glanced through window. I firstly thought it was big bright star that looked like Mars. It looked very bright orangish with two light spots.
It was very slowly and very lower with no noise over the trees. At the same time I looked other aircrafts higher over it with flicking lights. Most aircrafts have flicking lights for safety purposes.
That ones I earlier mentioned with no flicking lights. It moved very, very slowly over 8 minutes from facing east (from Avon mountains) to west (going to Torrington).

Triangular aircraft flies extremely low, then flies vertically, then flies directly over the observer Early on the morning of March 19, 2009, I was walking my dog down the street. As I looked ahead, I saw what appeared to be a plane taking off. It was flying at a height of about 250 feet, in an eastward direction at about a 30 degree angle.
It seemed strange, but I didn't pay much attention to it until I saw it make a dramatic climb in altitude. It went from flying at a 30 degree angle to flying at about an 80 degree angle. It was practically flying vertically, and it was climbing altitude rapidly.
After about 5 seconds of flying, it had probably risen to a height of about 600 feet. Then, it gradually began to level - off. Once it was level, it slowly turned left and headed north towards me and my dog.
It banked, and its triangular shape became apparent. It was probably flying at around 70 miles per hour. As it approached and passed overhead, I was able to see its underside.
It was clearly a triangular aircraft. It was black or gray in color, and it had one small white light on each corner (which made 3 white lights altogether), and one small red light in the center. It continued to fly north, and I watched it until it disappeared behind the trees.
Throughout the entire flight, it made a low whistling noise, similar to a quiet "whoooosh" sound. It sounded similar to the sound that an airplane makes as it moves through the air, but I didn't hear the humming of an engine. The entire experience probably lasted about 1 minute.

it was a cool evening when i walked out on to the balcony. i always loved looking up at the sky at night. on this particular night i focused in on area as my eyes began to adjust in this one area i saw this light it appeared to be round white in color if you will.
well it kind of looked like a star but it wasnt how do i know? well it was making sharp angular movements it would move from 3 o'clock position to 10 o'clock position then 12 o'clock and so on. i did not believe what i was seeing so i walked inside and rubbed my eyes and went back out and it was still there. this went on for about 5 min.
then i went inside. first i thought it was a sattelite i see them all the time and they move in one direction at a very fast rate of speed but not as fast as this sighting. i never disclaimed anybody who saw a ufo but i had to have proof that night was proof.

I remember it being in June of 1987 but the actual day is hard to remember. There is a stretch of road that runs through Burlington Ct called rout 4. Located off this road and between Johnnycake Airport and the Burlington Trout Hatchery is a stretch of winding roads that takes you into the direction of Nepaug Reservoir.
Along these roads which has zero street lights and is very wooded is a clearing that overlooks a small section of the reservoir. On this night my brother, his friend and myself were sitting on the hood of my car looking up at the night sky that was loaded with stars. I remember talking about the Challenger accident (6 months eariler) that for me was still fresh in my mind.
My brothers friend was the first to notice a star like object crossing the night sky. Looking in the direction he was pointing I observed this object cross the entire sky within seconds as far as the eye could see than turn around to make a pass back in our direction. This happend 4 times in a matter of 1 minute.
On what was to be its final pass we noticed in its path was a much larger object, the best way I can describe it to you is it looked like a circle formation of star like objects. As the moving craft reached this larger circle (maintaining its same observed speed) we thought it would continue going but when it reached the outer edge of this larger circle it was just gone. At that moment we looked at each other amaized at what we had seen, and over to our left, above the water and small hilltops were these three(3) fire balls.
The formation between these 3 fireballs and our location was a diamond. We looked at the objects for at least 30 minutes. Within this time frame each one moved very slowly, the one to our far left seemed to drift straight back and away from us than it was gone like it flipped off a switch.
The object to our far right descended straight down behind the tree line. At that moment we noticed a small plane making its landing approach at the near by airfield, thats when I made the joakingly remark and said (pointing to the object dead ahead of us) "Watch, I bet this one will bounce" Just as I said it, the object started to bounce itself behind the small hilltop. These objects were at the same level as the small plane was at the time of its landing approach to the airfield.
By this time we were speechless as to what we saw. At that moment we heard a noise that came from the very dark woods behind us that sounded as if something fell from the top of the trees and hit every branch on its way down. If you had a stop watch at that moment I think it would have been a new worlds record for getting into a car, locking the doors, turning the key and getting our asses outta there.
We drove to Torrington Ct which is about a 30 minute drive, within 10 minutes of getting into town we saw another friend of my brothers, we told her what we had seen, drove her back up to the sight and each one of the fireballs were back in the exact place we saw them the first time. After a few minutes they each began to move again as they did before. We never looked up into the sky to see if the star formation was still there and whatever had made the noise that scared us outta there in the first place I guess was gone cause we didn't hear any noises again.
The person we found to show her what we had seen had seen enough and wanted to go back after observing the objects for only about 15 ! minutes. Whatever we had seen that night, in the sky and over the reservoir were not low or high flying air planes except for the one noted. As far as what fell out of the tree, who knows, but I bet it hurt.
