Driving route 2 towards Norwich Ct While driving I saw two triangle humongous craft with lights under them two on the back and one in front. The crafts behind each other hovering above slow. I felt like stopping to record but kept going it was very strange! When I first spotted them, I thought maybe military but as I got closer it was too big to be military.
The shape of the crafts were not from here! I wish I had stop and record I couldn't believe it! Beautiful crafts can someone find out if any military flying during last night. It wasn't like any craft I've ever seen.

2 lights, circular aircraft seen by many in Colchester,CT Flying slow and low to the ground - at first appeared to be 2 glowing stars. Abnormally large and upon getting closer proved these lights were on the end or a large round aircraft of the likes I’ve never seen. Large enough to be mid plane size, not a drone.
From underneath due to lighting the shape was illuminated with a few colored lights at the bottom. The engine was quite loud and had not others including my child seen in, I would have believed I was hallucinating.

Light beam appeared in vehicle from undetermined source. After graduation, I was the designated driver for my friends. We had gone out to McDonald's for the night and were coming home on Route 16.
I was driving along when a green point of light hit my dash and flicked around the dash board. I thought that perhaps it was a laser pointer (it had that appearance), but there were no cars behind or in front of us at the time. I asked my friends if they saw they light, and they said that they had.
I did not report this until now because I did not know that this website existed. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD)).

Large, bright white "spotlight" high in sky over Colchester, Ct (Hartford County), ascended vertically. On September 19, 2009 at 7:50 PM, I was laying on a hammock facing the southern sky on my raised (level to a second story) back porch. The sky was dark, after sunset.
I had been watching the stars come out. The sky was clear, no cloud coverage at all. No moon in the sky.
(The moon was in new phase, and rising and setting during the day, according to a moon phase website). The hammock is on a self-supporting frame, and there is nothing on my porch to block my view facing east or south. My house was to my right, or west.
I was looking at my phone when a bright light above and slightly to the right of my perspective caught my attention. The light was an extremely bright and extremely large white light, shining down towards the ground. It was very high in the air, possibly higher than aircraft would generally fly.
The light spread out like an upside down cone, but without a distinguishable tip. For about 15 seconds, the outline or form of the light was very clear and distinguishable. The light was about the size of a normal full moon, or just slightly smaller.
The light rose vertically. As it did, the clarity of the outline of the light dissipated and was replaced by a patch of “brightness” in the sky, which slowly became larger and larger, then faded slowly to black. This process lasted about 4 minutes.
At its largest, this patch of brightness against the night sky would have about filled the dipper portion of the big dipper before fading to black. The simplest way for me to describe it is it was as if someone had turned on the brightest spotlight I could imagine from the atmosphere, and as it ascended, I seemed to be viewing the light from underneath the source. According the compass on my iPhone, the light was approximately at 180 -189 degrees south.
I thought to run inside and grab my camera, but figured I would miss it. I attempted a picture with my iPhone, but by this point, I could only make out a bright patch against the night sky and the iPhone could not record anything in the sky. The light was completely faded at 7:55 PM.
((NUFORC Note: Missile launch. PD)).

Briefly saw multicolored disk fly by fmaily car as we drove down a back road. I was driving in my family’s car with my mother down a back road. Suddenly I saw a flash of light behind us.
I turned my head to look out my window and I saw a disk shaped object, titled on its side, zoom past us and dart into the clouds above. The disk acted as though it were a prism (it was the colors of all the colors of the rainbow)! The object left a momentary trail of the rainbow light behind on the path it took into the clouds. The object had very little effect on out vehicle; the only effect was some brief static on the car radio as it zoomed by us.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

The object was cylinder shaped and had a light coming out of the bottom Well, this wasn't exactly an encounter, but.I was outside, and it was very cold. I had just bought a camera, and the night sky seemed extremely pretty so i thought I'd take a picture of it.
A couple of weeks passed and when i developed the film, I didn't notice anything at first. But when I looked at it some other time, in the bottom left hand corner of the photograph, a cylinder shaped object There is a light underneath the "object" and the light helps make out the image or body line of the object. I know for a fact that this wasn't a plane because I remember there being no planes in the area, and there were no light or anything else on outside my house or in the area.
