At first I thought it was a star off to the East but the blinking lights jumped out. It sat there for hours. Green, blue, hints of red lights, almost strobing in the distance.
It caught both me and my wife off guard. Whatever it is, it's not a plane or a star. That much is known to my wife and me.
((NUFORC Note: We suspect a "twinkling" star. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Two Large Fireballs witnessed in Cromwell, CT Approximately at 9PM EST, I looked out the window and saw to large fireballs in the southeast sky. The sighting only lasted about 10 seconds. They both faded out.
I wasn't able to judge the two fireballs altitude but distance from us was plus or minus two miles. This is my fourth sighting since 2008 and the 3rd time I've seen fireballs within two years. I used the Skyview Free app to get an idea of location in the sky.
It was just left of Sagittarius. Whatever these are it is amazing every time. My wife also witnessed this event in addition to the others.

Pulsating light in the northeast skies of Cromwell, CT Six of us witnessed a pulsating light located in the northeast sky, in the direction of Glastonbury, CT. We couldn't make out the exact shape of the UFO but it looked to be diamond shaped. Based on the distance, we estimated the object to be at least 30,000+ feet high.
We witnessed the stationary object for over 10 minutes and then a cloud came by which disrupted our view and by the time the cloud cleared our line of sight, the object was gone. At first we thought it was a plane moving away from us as this object was located in the direction of a flight pattern. However after the event, we tracked planes flying by and nothing could even come close to what we saw.
Proof positive of the experience was that the skeptics present could note explain it either! ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Five Orange Fireballs over Cromwell, Ct My wife and I were heading home from dinner and when we pulled onto our street, we saw four orange lights, almost like fireballs in the sky. We noticed them moving slowly in a northwest direction approximately 800-1000 feet high. We ended up pulling over and I shot video with my phone however based on the distance of the objects, the quality isn't that good.
As we were shooting the video, we noticed that one by one that seemed to turn blue in color then completely disappear. When we got home, I took our dog out and looked up into the sky and one was directly over our house, approximately 500 feet high. Although I was able to see it clearly, I still can't explain what it was.
I know we saw was something extraordinary because my wife is a huge skeptic regarding this type of stuff and she couldn't offer a logical explanation. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Nine objects, fireball when viewed by the eye, cylinderical when viewed through a camera, flew in a straight line At approximately 9pm, October 13, 2012 we watched a number of objects fly overhead. My husband called me out after observing three of them. I observed three lights in the distance, appearing stationary, but likely moving away from our position.
Eventually, you couldn’t see them anymore. Then single objects began to come by, one at a time. Moving in a straight line from South to North (approximately).
By the eye, they appeared to be small fireballs. They did not have a tail and there was no sound. Using a camera and 4x zoom, the lights on the objects made them appear cylindrical in shape.
Lights flashed between yellow and red. The objects get smaller as they move away and eventually move behind the clouds. Simultaneously with one object, an airplane flew by.
There were three distinct lights on the airplane and one could hear the engine as it flew by. Both my husband and I are well educated, middle-aged people.

It appeared round or saucer shaped with four lights and one red. No plane I have ever seen.

3 fast moving lights Watched a small light traveling fast across sky from south to north. Quickly changed direction then again and continued on previous path. It then appeared to get brighter very quickly as if it got closer and then inversely.
As we remarked about what we had just saw a similar light travelled north to south at relatively same speed. Less then a minute from that light disappearing from view we saw another light same shape size and speed as other two. This time it reacted as the first light and appeared to get brighter as if closer then dimmer as if farther and continue upon its course.
These lights were far away for the most part and very small looking and traveling at a rapid speed. Amazing what ever it was. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

The light hovered for approximately 10 minutes, than proceeding in an eastward direction slowly than disappeared out of sight. There were 6 witnesses and we all agreed that it was much too high in the sky to be a helicopter or a plane and to far out to be a metallic balloon.

blueish green ball of light fly in the sky below the clouds in a curved and crooked direction I was in a parking lot with my friend sitting in a car waiting for someone. My friend and I were talking about UFOs and he mentioned how he was listening to a radio station where a guy was talking about how he saw a UFO in the sky and the person on the radio described it as if you were to hold up your thumbnail to the sky that’s how big it was. So, my friend and I put our thumbs up to compare how big this thing was that the radio person saw.
Immediately after we put our thumbs in the air, we see a ball of light zip through the sky for a few seconds. The light was of a blue or green tint. It flew below the clouds very fast and was not a plane.
The light did not move in a straight motion either, it went straight, then bumped to the left and curved, then continued to go straight. We concluded that it couldn’t have been a shooting star or anything of that matter because it did not move in a straight line.

Full Report Text:
Was driving home from work and noticed what I thought was a plane in the sky and I realize it wasn't flying like a plane would fly. It "turned" end over end and then zigzagged. There were white and blue blinking lights around it and it was like watching an old wooden Water Wheel in the Sky but one with lights on the spokes.
I followed it, it was ahead of me over 691 and then it zigzagged and I took the exit to get on 91N to follow it some more. I saw it go over the mt on my right a few exits before exit 19 on 91N.
