Full Report Text:
Bright white light in the sky I was driving after dropping a friend off late at night and I saw what I thought was a star at first. But the. I realized it was much larger than a star and was about the size of the moon in the night sky.
I was confused at first and thought it was a reflection of some sort or a light from someone’s house. But the road I was in is a quite backroad and there is no large lampposts and I was no where near the closest house on top of this it could not be the moon as i could clearly see the full moon to the far left of it. I saw it and instantly got a feeling of dread.
I continued to see it until I passed under a few trees soon as I passed it was there for a second and then blinked away. I was not a strong believer until this night and nothing has happened to me since then.except when I got home I remember walking inside but nothing after that and woke up the next morning with just a faint remembrance of it.
I’m submitting much later than the actual date it happened as I didn’t know this organization existed until now.

Golden Orb flying above and along I95 North At 6:18pm I turned left from Boston Post Road onto Noroton Avenue where I proceeded to drive home from a late Doctors appointment. I then noticed a light in the sky which I initially thought was a star, but it was different because it was golden in color, so as I drove toward it, I kept looking up at it, that's when I noticed it seemed to be moving. I wasn't sure though, until I came to a complete stop at red light that I could tell for certain that it was moving.
It flew left to right, headed and flying perpendicular to I95 North, toward a huge yellow Full Moon low on the horizon. I called my mom and told her to come outside and then my boyfriend who was at my house and they got in the car and we drove looking for it. But all we found were airplanes and what we believe was a satellite.
The object I saw seemed to be flying lower than a higher flying airplane.  .

Orb hovering and fast zig zags over Long Island Sound with bounce and chirp noise. April 14, 2018; Darien, CT 02:35 AM. At home sitting on witness's roof terrace that has a view of Scott's Cove.
Noticed an unusual bright light in the sky and its reflection on the water. Observer thought it was a star or planet so a photo was taken, then it started "zig zagging really fast and stopping for about 40 minutes or so" then flew out of sight. All of this is on on video but the background is too dark to see a reference point.

Orange Fireball gliding in the sky over Darien, CT 1/14/12 @ 9:15 p.m. I was driving on Old Kings Highway, at the stop sign just by the YWCA.
At first I thought it was another planet shining in the sky because it was so large, but no, it was moving horizontally across the sky toward me from the right hand side of my wind shield gliding toward the left. It was so strange, an orange ball of fire that did seem to flicker, but was so steady. I'd never seen anything like it.
It looked like a floating fire ball, but it was moving at a steady, intentional pace. It kept heading what I think was northward. I tried to rationalize it but can't really figure how to do so because it was so high up.
But it was large enough to look the size (diameter) of a pen top from where I sat in my car. NO I hadn't been drinking or taking anything at all. Not even Advil.
I was happy to see the reports from Southbury and Bridgeport not to long before. They are towns relatively close to me.

Neon green object dissapears in night sky we were driving down the street in the dark with a completly clear sky. out from behind the trees ahead of us a giant neon green colored egg shaped object caught our attention. we saw it for almost less than a second, but we saw that it was flying in mid sky, too low and too fast for an airplane and at a weird angle.
we only saw the object once and it never re-appeared. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Possible hoax.
