Unexplained Noise and Energy Reported Across Town I was awake at 4am trying to get to sleep. Suddenly I heard an extremely loud noise that sounded like it was coming from all directions. The only way I can describe it is a whirring sound, like something going in a circular motion.
I’d say it’s like an old washing machine but the noise didn’t sound crisp, it was dull. The noise was accompanied by a strange feeling in the air, almost electric. I quickly got a bad migraine; I get them when there are drops in barometric pressure so I’m not sure if that was the case or the noise was so loud it caused one.
The noise then abruptly left, and it sounded like it suddenly started down the road with the same whirring. Sometimes it would cut out and in again. Sometimes it would reappear near my house then move again.
After about 10 minutes it stopped. I thought I was the only one that heard it but then the town Facebook page exploded with reports of the same noise. Another person said it felt like the noise “vibrated her body”.
More reported waking from a dead sleep to the noise and that it was like a bass tone because of the depth and feeling. The reports came mostly from the northern and central part of the town, but a few reported hearing it in the south, east, and west. I saw a UFO once before, with my mom about 7 years ago.
We were both skeptics, but our experience made us both believers. When this recent incident occurred I didn’t immediately think of a UFO, but when I felt the energy I could sense this was something not normal. I’m an academic with a MA working in a field that is very no-nonsense.
I want to find an explanation for everything, but I can’t find one for this.

Single rectangular object moved erratically - right, abruptly left, curved, accelerated, decelerated. Plain white light. Object occupied an arc about the size of a tree branch.

It was the brightest object I have ever seen, it was 5:45 am, it was moving at about 60-80 mph in a northerly direction. As I rounded a curve on route 2 eastbound I lost sight of it. There were no other lights visible on the object except the sheer brilliance of the object.

Greenish-bluish "asteroid" comes to dead stop in sky and simultaneously turns to red oval light. I was getting on Rte. 2, headed towards East Hartford, from Rte.
3. I looked to my right, and saw something falling in the sky. It appeared to be an asteroid or falling object.
It had a rather large tail behind it. It was a bluish-greenish light, quite bright. It fell very quickly; I saw it for approximately 2 seconds.
Suddenly, it came to a dead stop in the sky, while simultaneously turning red, as if it were a brake light. The red light appeared to be rather large and oval in shape. This happened over a fraction of a second, then the object completely disappeared.
I am curious to know what it could have been.

I looked east and saw a rather large circular pale blue light in the sky and then it just streaked off with the speed of a fireball I was driving home, when I noticed a rather large pale blue light in the sky. I was heading north north east, so I was looking in the direction of Rhodes Island. As I looked into the sky I saw a rather large light and tried to make some sense of this and then it just took off north towards Massachusetts.
I thought it was stationary at first. Nothing can move as fast as this except a fireball! I didn’t expect it to move and then it was gone. It was not way out in space, it’s very hard to say how far it was but 2-10 miles maybe.
It was round and the size of a light bulb. Nothing like the size of a star or planet or anything like that. This was close and it did not have any like light rays glistening from it like must light objects do.
The speed when it took off was what made me realize this was something unusual. I know how fast a fireball travels because I saw one last year. It streaked across the sky coming Massachusetts and exploded in a bright flash over Rhode Island.

Silver cigar shape in the air I am a 15 year old kid. I saw an unidentified flying object overhead while me and my mom were driving from the mall in Connecticut. I was looking up at the clouds when i saw something up in the east side of me.
I looked like a cigar shaped thing up in the sky. It was silvery or metalic. I was pretty low to the ground and kind of far away.
At first i thought it was one of those advertisment ballons but it had no thing on it. It stood there for a while with gleaming glow coming off it. This is the wierd part.
When we pased under a bridge the thing disapered. I looked all around for it and it wasn't there. No normal craft could disaper in one second.
I took out my phone to take a picture but it was to late. It was already gone. I was mad.
I definitly think it was a ufo.

A mysterious craft was seen hovering above yard. Expirienced "missing time" following the incident. Around the night of August 23, 2001, I was walking my dog with my grandfather in the back yard of my grandparents house.
At approximately 9:03 PM the dog sat down and began barking quite loudly at something behind us. We turned to see a bright light coming up from behind the house. It was flying just high enough that it didn’t touch the top of the old oak tree in the yard.
Soon the object was directly above us and I had a very clear view of the craft. It was almost shaped like the spade suit in a deck of cards. The craft was massive and had to be at least forty feet, perhaps fifty feet, wide and perhaps fifteen feet high.
On the belly of it were several different colored lights. On the exact center of the craft was a mysterious dome shaped light, it glowed a color that seemed eerily familiar, and yet like nothing I had ever seen before. Also, it seemed as though the light were some form of cross between a solid and a liquid, as if it could hold its shape without need for containment but still allow objects to pass through it.
From this light an arm, with a long needle and a wire coiled around it attached to it, was expelled from the craft. It was from the tip of this needle that a focused beam of light shot down from the craft. The light hit the ground still concentrated, then seemed to explode in a flash.
Then the arm was pulled back into the light. The craft then started to move forward slowly, and, being a fascinated child, I foolishly pursued it, however it sped up and blasted away. Rather confused by what we just saw, my grandfather and I re-entered the house after what we believed to be only five or ten minutes.
My grandmother, however, claimed that we had been outside for nearly a half hour and the clock in the house agreed, while my grandfather’s wrist watch told us that only a few minutes had passed. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate. PD)).

Strange teardrop shapped object appeared in the sky above us! Years ago, around July 20, 2001 I stepped outside, along with a family member, at about 22:00 to let our dog go to the bathroom. It was not long before we heard a humming sound in the distance. My family member and I simply ignored it and continued to wait for the dog to go to the bathroom.
Mysteriously, the dog began to bark at something behind us. The two of us turned to see the most unbelievable thing we ever set eyes upon coming towards us, over the tree tops. It was a black, teardrop, shaped craft, about the size of house.
After a few moments the craft, still humming, was hovering above our heads. To our shock, it froze there and then lowered until it was only about twenty feet above our heads! It was then that we were able to see it quit clearly. We observed several lights on the belly of the craft, one of them glowing mysteriously in the center.
To our surprise, from this strange glowing light, a long, pointed needle, with a wire wrapping around it and meeting at the point, ejected. This needle then sent down a focused beam of light, which suddenly expanded, then the light was gone and the needle was drawn back up into the light. The teardrop shaped craft slowly began to move forward again.
I, being curious, chased it, not wanting to allow it to escape. The faster I ran, the faster it moved. Suddenly, it sped forward in the direction the trees.
I thought for sure it would crash into them, but the moment that impact would have occurred, there was a dazzling flash of light and the craft vanished altogether, leaving behind only one trace: a patch of dead grass where the original beam of light had projected. Unsure off what had just happened we rushed back into the house, where another family member had watched the craft appear behind us from the window. We assumed that this whole event had taken about two or three minutes, five at the most to occur, however she, and the clocks in the house, told another story: that we had been out for about a half-hour! She also said that the television signal was lost during this event.
This mysterious occurrence puzzles us all to this day. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
