Atom-looking sphere sighted in Danbury, CT, changed colors and appeared and disappeared from the sky. Saw this very bright light in the sky and it seemed to change colors, took out my camera which has a very good zoom and zoomed in as far as it went. When looking at it closely, it was a very bright sphere, that kept changing colors and disappearing every 5 seconds.
Everytime it disappeared, it took the form of an atom. The color change and disappearance were very fast. I was amazed with the shape it had, looked like an atom, full of circles around it.
I have a couple of videos! ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Craft flew overhead in Danbury, CT, just past midnight. We were driving down I-84 on the way home from the movie theater. The movie ended at roughly midnight.
I was sitting in the front passenger seat. As we were driving I noticed an odd light in the sky that appeared to be moving towards us. As it moved closer, I noticed it was flying low, far too low for a plane but much too big to be a drone.
It appeared to be circular in shape, as it definitely had a rounded back but the front was harder to distinguish. It flew directly over our heads then proceeded on in the other direction, where we could see the light from the craft move further and further way at an increasing speed.

Large Bright Lights at the end of a Wingtip, humming vibration felt through the air! Stood out my deck at around 22:30 hrs ,when I looked up and saw 2 bright lights, at first I thought it was the lights at the wingtip of a massive Jumbo Jet going to crash and my first instinct was to run in and get my family out due to an imminent plane crash. Then for a minute or so it turned at an angle and what looked like even brighter lights (like after burners of a jet propulsion system) it turned and very quietly disappeared into the clear skies! There was a slight humming sound and I could feel an uneasy vibration in the air. This felt like one was standing in front of a large Airbus A380 coming head on towards you, but with an eerie humming sound! Spooked for sure!.

I stepped outside at roughly 9:30 pm because I heard a really loud noise that was actually shaking the house. As soon as I stepped out a helicopter flew over the house pursuing a large dark object with no lights on it . The craft, from what I could see was slightly bigger than the helicopter.
They were flying so low that I actually felt the wind from the helicopter.

A group of neon-red lights blinking with white lights in the shape of a rectangle descending toward the horizon. I saw a group of extremely bright red lights in what looked like two rows - Approximately 10 lights in all. The red lights were almost neon colored red and were blinking on and off with white lights.
The object looked to be rectangular with the short end of the rectangle to the horizon and the longer ends facing up; the whole thing being at approximately a 45 degree angle. It was descending toward the horizon at a fairly rapid pace - thought not extremely fast. The object was very far away, but still looked large.
I watched it descend until the tree-line obstructed the view. Although the lights looked similar to aircraft lights, they were MUCH brighter, and a much more brilliant shade of red. If it was an aircraft, I've never seen one with this many lights on it before.

Bright orange orb near west side reservoir. I live in the west side of Danbury near the New York border. I noticed a bright orange light through my living room window.
It was low in the sky behind the trees to the north of my house. I went out side and observed the object. It was about the size of a full moon.
It was bright orange. It was hovering in the sky to the north of my house behind a grove of trees, which were bare of leaves as spring has not come yet and the trees are still without leaves. The object hovered for 10 to 15 seconds and then moved off to the east.
The object made no sound. Considering the size of the object it had to be fairly close to me, otherwise it would have to be truly huge. The fact that it made no sound, and the way it moved convinces me it was neither a plane nor a helicopter.

White Orb hovers for 10 minutes over Danbury Airport. I live next to Danbury airport, and I was sitting on my porch sky watching, trying the “Robert Bingham - Stephen Greer/ CE5” method of initiating contact with an ET vehicle. After maybe 10 minutes of sky watching (and I am an aviator, so I know aircraft types), I see a small white orb high in the sky, but I initially think it's a commercial jet at around 35,000', because I see a lot of those.
But the object moves very slowly and there are no contrails, and the object doesn't get any bigger (perhaps barely - I did notice what appeared to be a possible division or morphing of the orb). In fact, it looked like it could have been a tiny cloud or balloon, but there was not a cloud in the sky, and a balloon would have been blown about by the light wind. This object hovered, and came to within a 1/2 mile at perhaps 3-5,000', and remained stationary for at least 5 minutes.
I called to my neighbor, who also witnessed the white orb. It slowly moved across a part of the sky above the airport, while several commercial aircraft flew about their designated routes, oblivious to its presence. Anyway, my housemate came home, and he witnessed it too, as it started to move away, slowly at first, and then we saw it shoot rapidly up towards orbit.
I can saw without a doubt that this had to be either a military recon drone (unlikely), or an ET probe (or whatever kind of instrument they send when a mental CE5 contact is initiated - if that is what it was responding to).

Bright blue sphere light moving across the town's night sky silently without any sound interacting with it or against. I saw a bright blue-ish sphere light though not even 100 feet away from me slowly flying over the night sky. There was just this one light that at a first glance one would think its a star but it was slowly gliding in the middle of my town and the unusual thing about it is it made no sound.
If it was a plane of some sort, anyone would have heard turbulence but it was silent as the night and awe like. I have always been a believer but honestly I thought I would have never seen this in my lifetime.

10-12 red-orange glowing objects flying slowly from south to north in clusters of two or three. I noticed a red-orange object moving slowly from the south towards our home in Danbury. It seems to be preceded by a halo effect in the front of the object.
It quietly moved closer as I tried to discern what it was, and then saw another coming from the same direction. I assumed at first it was a helicopter, but I heard no sound. I followed as they flew over our home, in silence, then noticed another cluster of three approaching from the same direction.
In the meanwhile one of the first of the objects had moved significantly higher in the sky. By the time the next group of two or three were approaching I called my husband to come and see. After observing for a minute, he ran in to get his iPad and film it.
(Haven’t seen it yet.) It continued for another 7 or 8 minutes. I lost count of how many but I’d estimate 10 – 12 objects, all appearing the same, over the course of 10 – 15 minutes.

15-18 orange circular objects w/o sound moving from n to ne @ 22:00 I noticed brightly colored orange orbs moving very slowly w/o any sound. Lights. were the size of small peas.
There were about 15 or twenty of them and they were in groups of two and three moving amongst themselves but still staying in cluster, they would change speed and direction several times. I ran inside got cell phone to take pics which didn't show much at all. I then contacted you people.
It's funny you always wish to see this type of thing and then tell others in turn they think your nuts. That's fine with me. I KNOW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT A GROUP OF PLANES OR FLARES what else I know not !!!!.

Several amber lights in a configuration that moved around and turned on and off. We saw a number of amber/redish lights up in the sky. It was cloudy out, so these were the only lights in the sky.
They were moving towards the right, they rotated, they turned on and off. At one point 4 of them seemed to form a triangle. We have a video.
Then they just disappeared.

triangular/teardrop shaped orange light with a slight flicker to it rocketing across the sky with no sound At approximately 9:35 PM Sunday July 4th, Danbury, CT (nearest cross street Belair Drive and Kingswood) I saw what appeared to be an orange teardrop/triangular shaped flame (not a perfect triangle but more triangular than a teardrop) arching overhead. I first noticed it at 35 degrees WNW from my location. It continued up overhead to about 85 degrees (almost directly overhead) and gradually faded out of view as it got smaller and smaller ESE at about 10 degrees above the horizon.
It took about 25 seconds to move this distance. I did not hear a sound coming from this object so I would say that it was above the Earth’s atmosphere but not as high as the International Space Station (ISS) as I’ve spotted that a few times on separate occasions and on one occasion I saw the station also pass almost directly overhead like this object. I cannot be certain how high the object was but that is my impression.
The object appeared to be a flame although it was different from a typical rocket in that although it remained relatively constant it had a slight flicker to it like the flickering of a candle only a more rapid flickering with more of a sustained luminescence. The flame appeared to have an edge on the forward side and came to a point at a length of about twice its width. I could not discern a physical object in front of the flame as I was looking for something in front thinking it was perhaps a missile or the space shuttle.
The light of the object was about half as bright as the ISS at its brightest when I had seen the ISS at about a year ago passing directly overhead. I saw only the one object and it’s motion was continual and followed a straight path and it was moving at least twice as fast as the ISS (or perhaps the same speed but maybe half the distance?). This object literally appeared to be rocketing across the sky.
It’s size from my perspective was about 1/8th the size of a full moon as it passed overhead. There were 4-5 other witnesses across the street about a 100 feet away from me.

For about a few hours, and it is STILL continuing, there is an extremely bright triangle to the left of the moon, that has barely moved. It is not a plane, nor a satellite, due to it's size, brightness, and stillness. It is directly next to the moon, and is moving only a little bit.
((NUFORC Note: Probably a celestial body, we assume. PD)).
