Always was a believer but never in my wildest dream I would have thought to see one.

Craft swooped down fast & floated with bright white rotating lights & 2 beams of light darting around & on & off The object seemed to drop straight down from high above the sky. It seemed closer to me at first, but as it slowly moved & rotated,& its lights began to rotate & flash, it became clear the object was massive & just seemed closer. Each large bright white light rotated in various directions.
It had 2 beams of light that darted around downward & turned on & off. After about 20 minutes, it began to lift up farther into the sky & then swooped upward. It then shot straight up into the sky towards the atmosphere & disappeared.

It was a clear, dark night in The Connecticut sky around 10PM when my friend and I were on the way to get me home when what I thought at first was a shooting star, but then it was beyond too big to be that. It’s was hurling across the sky in a speed I’ve never seen before leaving a trail blazing behind it. The object appeared green like a gas like green glow was around it and I eventually saw it disenegrate as the atmospheric pressure could have caused that.
My friend and I were in shock and had never seen anything like it. There were no posts, nothing from NASA, just nothing that was bringing up the potential sighting of this object. It was unreal.

It was a clear night in April, around 10:30PM. I saw a bright white “star like” thing in the sky. It was NOT moving.
While watching TV I noticed a bright light out the front door. After a few minutes I went and got a pair of binoculars to observe the light. This light was in the western sky and appeared to slightly change shapes.
My wife came and observed the light and we both went outside for a better look. This bright light also had smaller/dimmer lights that changed from white to red to green from time to time. We then got into our truck and drove 1 mile to the town green to get a better view point and observed this light for approx.
20 mins before going back home. When we arrived home the light was still in the same spot until approx. 3-4 minutes later when we noticed it slowly moving north before disappearing past a neighbor's house.

Not so normal man who’s clothes seem to work with his body, light that emits theme like features, I know it sounds crazy. but , no lie It is an UT, unidentifiable terrestrial, he has light coming off his body every where he walks in the city of Hartford, something weird could be going on here because no one has said anything and even the cops act funny. a lot of weird things have been going on since his sighting 7 years ago, if there is anything going here this is the place to start, he seems to come in peace so be nice, but he seems lost and in need of some real help, this not a lie, you might not see him instantly but you will, start with downtown , thank you!.

Several orange objects seen in sky Fiery Objects In Hartford, Ct. 9/30/2019 After arriving home at 9:10pm (now out of my vehicle), I observed an unusual object flying north-east over the downtown area in Hartford. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye, another object (fiery orange) coming from the south-west, came into view.
I looked around to see if anyone else was seeing this. There was a man and woman also looking at the object. The object followed the same path as the first.
At that point, I took out my cellphone and began taking photos and video. Subsequently, 7 more of the fiery orange objects followed in the same manner. The man asked if I thought it were balloons? I thought that it might be, but they seem to gain ground on the previous orb.
It took about three to five minutes for the event to end. Thank you for your consideration, VW.

Unidentified flying object hovering over the Connecticut State Capitol I observed – a dark-colored – small unidentified flying object without any lights hovering low around the Connecticut State Capitol Building and within a few minutes, the unidentified flying object increased altitude and moved higher and away from the building until it abruptly disappeared. There were three individuals that observed this phenomenon, which I recorded with my iPhone and reported to the Capitol Police immediately after it occurred. The video image clearly shows the trees near the flying object to help put the image into context.

Driving down 84 West towards Flatbush Ave exit. I spotted 3 floating orbs in almost a triangular formation. They were too high to be drones.
They had an orangeish glow similar like that of a planet. I ruled out planets because the sky was cloudy. The orb at the highest point was moving slow, but erratic, while they other 2 seemed to hover in place.

Bright Sphere blinding the eye like a mirror flying slow near an aircraft and Jets where called in. Tonight, I saw a bright white circle, so bright, it can blind you going so slow in a soft gliding way for about 2 minutes it came so close to an airplane and than it disappeared. Normally when a plane flies away from you the lights fade away.
Not this object it was like a flying glowing mirror and after it encountered the plane it faded away. I went back in and than when I went out 3 minutes later I saw a fighter jet circling the area the aircraft flew by. Not only that I started to see more airplanes in the area the object flew by.
I think the government might of been contacted to check this out.

UFO over State Captiol New Years eve Fireworks Show at 6:10pm at Bushnell Park in Hartford, before the show started we saw a large object, couldn't tell if it was V shaped like b-2 or saucer shaped given the angle and line of sight but in the sky made a bit of a line shape, with multiple colored lights of a reddish orange color and a Green color. The object appeared to hover behind the Capitol Building before falling rapidly then disappearing. What struck as as odd to cancel out what it could be are; though a plane or helicopter has the same colored lights, these lights seemed to alternate and if it were a plane then the a single light stretched across the entirety of both wings, aside from Medical helicopters from the hospital on the other side of town the capitol is a no fly zone this didnt take the shape of a helicopter, There was no noise from the craft, which lifestar (local medical helicopter name) makes quite the noise when in the city area, we also canceled out the chanc! e of it being part of the fire works display, being it was before they went off, and was in the wrong direction.
Then shortly after the fireworks display started, and lucky enough to have my camera out with recording capabilities, the obeject was seen again this time on the other side of the captiol. unfortunately in video mode my camera has no zoom ability nor night vision, and appears as like that of a star in the sky. Though the object can be seen between the space of the capitol and where the fireworks were going off.
Additionally towards the end of the encounter the object started a rapid descent, then a dead stop then it did it again and vanished, what strikes me odd is where the object vanished is a point of open sky, nothing between me and the object for it to hide behind, with a few flashes it was gone. The other object flashing below and to the right of it is a warning strobe on a flag pole, of the no fly zone. Some people noticed i was pointing my camera away from the fireworks which drew some curiosity but was answered when they saw the object themselves, i was lucky to get audio of two of these cases.
i've already uploaded it to youtube and will provide a link upon request.

Three green lights appeared in our high level building apartment. 3 green lights appeared inside our apartment which is above 10th floor. They appeared on the side wall next to window and strangely moved to inside wall and repeated 2 times and then disappeared.
We have a balcony, so its not possible any light or laser beams could reach above 10th floor from ground level and there aren't other high buildings around. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).
