3 craft in formation At 8:02 PM on Monday July 24th 2023 while at my son's Little League baseball game, I noticed, initially 2 oddly shaped objects flying overhead from the south, the objects appeared over the tree line (for a moment I thought the objects were powered parachute type ultra-light aircraft however, I quickly realized they were moving too fast and maneuvering oddly), they were dark gray or black, they had definitive lines of structure to them. One appeared to be an inverted pyramid, or upside-down top, this object looked as though it were tumbling forward, then would rotate / spin, the next object (in trail) appeared cube/diamond like, with curved edges so that when rotated at times would appear to be almost spherical, exhibiting similar flight characteristics. At this point in time another parent and I made eye contact, she said "tell me I'm not the only one seeing this", (2 other parents also witnessed this event and all were perplexed).
At this time the third object came into view, further to the west, appearing to be higher in altitude and moving faster. This object appeared to be similar to object #2, it gained on the first 2 objects and then held in a loose formation, the formation was somewhat similar to an isosceles triangle. I was able to get the attached pictures.
Weather at the time at nearby Bradley International Airport is included in the attached screenshot of the ATIS information that was current at the time of the sighting. The fields this sighting occurred at are quite large, the area is flat with a good field of view, these objects transited the visible sky from roughly south to north within 45-60 seconds. There was no noise, no contrails, no lights of any kind.
According to the attached screenshot of flightradar24 there were no aircraft correlating to the location of these objects or in their direction they were traveling (at least none utilizing a transponder). Initial report to NUFORC was made via phone shortly after sighting occurred.

Orange light moving in multiple directions, then vanishing I went out for a few minutes in my car to get fast food, and on my drive back home, I saw an orange light in the sky. It did not blink, but slightly pulsated. As far as size, it appeared slightly but noticably larger than stars and planets from my perspective.
It moved slowly in the same direction as my car, then turned in an almost 90 degree angle, then turned again a few more times. I kept looking out my car windshield periodically until I arrived home and parked in front of my house. (The restaurant I went to is just about a minute away from my house).
After I parked, I kept looking at the light from the driver's side window of my car, which was facing south. The light continued to move and change direction every few seconds. I saw that it was above the clouds, since clouds moving in front of it made it appear more hazy.
(The next few sentences will sound cliche, and I understand, but it is the honest truth). I knew I had to get this sighting on camera. I frantically grabbed my phone, opened up the camera, and quickly looked back up to make sure it was there, but it had vanished.
I got out of my car and looked up at the sky for a few minutes and scanned for the light, but I could not find it again.

White or silver craft moving quickly at high altitude. No trail. Changed directions quickly.
Saw a reflective white or silver craft flying high in the sky at high speed. (Could not determine the shape clearly). It Did not leave a trail behind it as it moved.
I was laying down in my house looking north out my bay window and suddenly sat up when I saw something moving across the sky. I saw up to watch the object fly by. It seemed very high up and was moving far too quickly to be any kind of commercial jet.
Also, the fact that it didn’t leave any trail behind it was odd. It changed direction very quickly by about 30 degrees east of its original path, almost on a dime, and then disappeared over the trees. This was seen over the northeastern part of enfield.
Almost into long meadow. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

White erratic flashing object enfield Ct Object seemed a bit large and not a perfect shape as it was moving fast so hard to tell. It moved in an erratic pattern like it was jumping. It was bright white and flashed in a clear bright cloudless blue sky.
It would disappear then flash again several times and then it just disappeared for good. Definitely not a plane. I could see this from interstate 91 south near the shopping mall.
Saw this and it was just out of the ordinary so I had to go online to see if I could find anyone else that may have noticed it. My description is female, 40's with college degree. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

read sighting description . Around 11:00 PM, me and my friend looked up and noticed a very bright object hovering at high altitudes in the airspace. At first, we thought it was a star, but after looking at it for about 20 minutes we noticed the UFO was flashing, and very, very slowly moving across the sky.
The UFO had not left our sight until around 1:30 AM, when we noticed the object had disappeared out of the sky completely. From about 11:00 PM - 1:30 PM, the UFO was just SLOWLY moving across the sky, until it disappeared from sight. It was torturous to see, because I'll never know why the object was slowly hovering over my hometown for HOURS.
Maybe it was moving so slow to avoid detection by us humans, well, that's the only explanation I have for it. ((NUFORC Note: Twinkling star, we wonder? PD)).

6 orange lights flying evenly apart in a row! My daughter and I got home at 10:05pm last night. As we were getting out of the car, I saw 4 bright orange lights moving across the sky at an altitude of a plane. They were evenly spaced and flew across the sky in a perfect row at the speed of a plane flying by.
Then a fifth one appeared into sight more of a distance behind the first four. Then a sixth one. They passed in a line one following the other until out of sight behind the trees.
I thought they looked like Chinese lanterns but seemed to big at the altitude they were flying at. I never saw anything like that before!.

unknown aircraft that dimmed and brightened when moving. Having received a call from a friend in Springfield, Massachusetts, that an object he saw was headed my way, I headed out to find the object and try to identify it as I am an aviation enthusiast. I saw a few lights and was able to identify them as commercial aircraft.
But one light seemed to stay ahead of me. I maintained visual contact with it in my car and finally got close enough in Broad Brook, Connecticut. It had a bright pale yellow light and almost seemed to hover.
Very suddenly it got 10 times brighter, its color changing into a bright white light and it moved very rapidly towards me. And as it drew very close, its color again dimmed to a pale yellow and it slowed almost into a hover. It then proceeded to turn towards the northwest.
As it did, I saw it had 4 pale yellow lights with a red, blue, amber and green light next to each pale yellow light. It leveled off, got very bright again, and took of so fast I lost contact. This object was ! no commercial aircraft and it moved far too fast to be a helicopter or a tilt rotor aircraft such as an Osprey.
And note, no aircraft, civilian or military, has an amber light. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

15 Orange lights on horizon Approximately 12-15 orange lights of varying intensities, some as bright as the planet Jupiter, others somewhat dimmer were viewed low in the West. The lights were seen near the waxing crescent moon low on the horizon in a random pattern. They were clearly visible even though they were only several degrees from the moon’s position.
There were no flashing lights, no movement and no sounds. The lights remained stationary for the 2 minutes I stood to observe. The lights covered an area much too large to be on one vehicle; they would have been individual vehicles.
They covered an area in the sky that would be covered by an outstretched hand. I came back to the same spot 20 minutes later and they were gone.

Vibrant yellow lights forming perfect triangle Driving east, we saw 3 vibrant yellow lights forming a triangle. We have lived within close proximity to an airport for over 25+ years and are very familiar with planes ascending and descending regularly. We know the color lights, the sounds and the approximate height of planes within our town.
My first initial reaction was-why are those 3 plane flying so closely together? And then it was brought to my attention that they weren't planes & that's when I noticed the color of the lights, the shape & the distance. The night was clear with no visible clouds. Minimal stars were observed.

7 floating red and blue lit crafts floated above Enfield CT Several crafts about the size of a small helicopter floated across the sky about 2 miles south of the Enfield mall. Around 7-10 crafts with red, blue and white lights moved over head slowly. All of the crafts appeared to have direction as if they are manned.
Most of these flew just below the tree line over a field near Namco. All of the crafts moved in the same general direction over the field and then down behind the tree line. Four of them appeared to fly in formation.
Each seemed to almost be within a stone’s throw distance but every single one created no sound. It was completely quite as they flew over. The white light on the craft appeared to be on the front of each.
While they were going over head I shined an iPhone camera light on and off toward one. It turned and began heading in my general direction. I then immediately shut off the light and it returned to its course.
Note: Just before the incident Myself and one other were on a walk. Several solar powered outside lights were speratically turning on and off which we found strange.

near fields and farms when we saw a circular/oval bright light it was immense. It started to land in the woods. We driving in the countryside were a lot of fields and farms were when we saw this once again strange circular/oval bright light it was immense.
We couldn't believe what we were seeing once again there was no explanation. The difference was this time it was not that high in the sky nor was it hovering it was progressing lower and lower towards the ground. It had suddenly disappeared into the woods near the fields.
We had no idea what to think so we rushed how spooked and searched up UFO sightings near our area to find many reports and videos of the same strange thing we had seen close to where we had seen it.

Bright light at high altitude and then fades. Travelled slow like satellite but bright light was odd. Too late for sun reflection Was out walking dog during clear night.
Noticed bright light and thought it was a planet. It then faded and moved in a northern direction slowly like a satellite. Could nit see any blinking lights or strobes that you would see on a plane.
It was at an extremely high altitude. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Probably a sighting of the International Space Station, we suspect.
PD)).
