I was leaving work and heading home, on Route 118 , there are woods on both sides, of the road, a bronze color, U.F.O.
came from the right side of the woods and almost clipped my vehicle. I stopped my vehicle and the thing realized it was going to hit me, and it was going vertical, then horizontal, because it was also trying to avoid the trees. And then it stopped, and it was just above the ground.
And I could not believe it, and just left! Because, I was in shock, in what just happened! And there were no lights!.

Orange balls in fleet formation About midnight of a new day on 9/12/10, my son and I saw 12-14 large orange balls moving very fast, silently and horizontally across the night sky. They were coming from the south and heading northwest and were quite high in the sky and much larger than any stars. They seemed to be in some sort of flight formation with one following the other in twos.
Unfortunately, the photos do not show the glowing spheres of orange. I wondered it that could be because the glow is caused by some sort of gaseous matter.

Sparkling green fireball shooting over Litchfield CT It was around 11:30 pm August 14, 2009, when I was standing out on my deck looking at the stars in the very clear night sky. Then, facing west, over the house I noticed a bright green fireball streaking across the sky from south to north. It was moving much slower than the shooting star that I had seen 10 minutes earlier, but much faster than the planes I see fly over all the time.
The green fireball had sparkles coming off it, and had a long green trail behind it. It was a very strange thing to see. I cannot say for sure how high up it was, but it appeared to me to be fairly low, certainly lower than the shooting star.
The whole thing lasted maybe 5 seconds. I would really like to know what that was. The sparkles coming from it are puzzling.
((NUFORC Note: Possible meteor, we suspect. PD)).

Orange lights form triangular patterns and move and rotate in unicen After my brother had reported seeing strange orange flickering lights in the sky performing maneuvers that defy our laws of physics and gravity, I, along with some friends of mine and my father and uncle drove up to the restaurant that my brother works at. This is where the sightings took place, and apparently have been taking place for several weeks now. While standing on a large hill overlooking a wide open golf course, we witnessed at least 3 at any given time, orange bright lights that almost looked like planets, that twinkled at times and flickered erratically at other times.
The lights would rise up slowly from the horizon, and then the light would go out and be replaced by a fast blinking red and white light. At first we thought of an airplane, but then when the lights began moving from side to side up and down and in zig zag patterns, we knew that any aircraft in existance could not perform manuevers like we witnessed. We also witnessed the 3 lights forming triangular patterns (perfect ones i might add) and this triangle moved in unicen and at times seemed to rotate on an axis.
We also saw an unbelievably bright blue streak that almost looked like a commet streaking through the atmosphere but the width of the two "tales" was too wide to be a commet. Between the tales were blue streaks and it moved very quickly over our heads and disappeared without a sound. We have been coming to this location almost every night and it seems as if the activity continues, but the lights get farther and farther away each time.
When my brother initially spotted these lights they were the size of a silver dollar in the sky, but have since become slightly bigger than a star and orange in color. The objects can be seen only in a wide open area that is at a high altitude along route 63 in litchfield ct. Objects seem to rise and fall below horizon line so its important to view the skyline from as high as possible.

Mothership over Litchfield CT I was enrolled at a school for boys called Connecticut Junior Republic in Lichfield in 1971,I was part of a gymnastic troupe that was coming back from exibition in Bantam CT we were in a passenger pannel van just coming into the downtown area of Lichfield CT when for some reason traffic came to a halt. I still don't know why but we were stopped on a main road. When someone noticed a very large disc shaped object hovering just above the trees, directly above us.
I was in the rear of the van where there are no seats so I opened the rear door of the van and simply got out and looked straight up at the object. It was at least two football feilds wide, completely round, it was motionless, with bright multi-colored lights that ran around the rim of the craft. The other kids in the van with me got out and were staring at it along with me.
We could not believe what we were seeing. The adult that was driving the van was yelling continuously "get back in the van." Because we were on a main road with traffic in front and behind us.
I noticed some of the other drivers were also out of their vehicles looking at this object. The only thing I can compare it to, is the mothership in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. What is really weird is when we got back to the school no one spoke of what we had just seen.
It is as if it never happened. To this day I have no memory of any of us ever getting back into the van. My only memory is of just being back at the school that night.
I will never forget that night. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).
