3 golden glowing orbs in triangular formation flying west, then quickly tilts skyward and disappears. Around 8 pm, I was working at a wedding outside the venue at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake. I was alone outside setting up a photo booth, then looked out onto the lake.
I see three bright, glowing orbs in a triangular formation quickly fly west, then tilt upwards facing me and disappear flying skyward.

Odd shaped object, didn’t move but disappeared with no trace left behind We were driving and we saw something that we thought was first a hot air balloon, we soon realized It was not moving at all, It was a metallic color and It ended up having a flat top and a pointy bottom but still has rounded sides. We just kept looking at It because we felt crazy and thought It must be something normal but like we said It was t moving at all. Right after we started to pass some trees and by the time we got past the tree It was gone with no trace of It at all.

Driving in car on bright sunny day dispersed clouds not many. I was the passenger and the driver was a family member. We stopped the car because I asked them if they were seeing what I was seeing.
They said yes and pulled over. It was a long cylindrical silver shaped object that was stationary in the sky unmoving. The object then changed from silver to gold and changed shape from cylindrical to round but looked like it had a pole in the center.
It then changed from gold to yellow greenish but metallic and looked like it had some kind of green light in the center or something that reflected sunlight. After all this it completely vanished into thin air like it never existed.

The object was still in the sky and not making a sound. It just sat over a military facility in Middletown CT on Smith Street and took off when a helicopter approached. The helicopter appeared to be in silent mode and circled the area for up to 30 minutes.
I recently found out that others saw a silver disc like object and tried to put it on Facebook but it was taken down.

Pill/cigar shaped, silver or white. No visable wings. Nothing audible to me.
Discharged white trail about 2 seconds after it came into view. Disappeared seconds after it stopped trail. Disappeared into clouds.
This is a very overcast sky. Seemed to move faster than a plane. i don't know how to estimate elevation, but it didn't appear to be any higher than a twin engine would fly.
No lights that I could see.

Numerous high altitude fast moving lights in formation. On 22 December 2018 at approximately 2200hrs, I was taking my dog out for the final time of the night. The moon was extremely bright and clouds were patchy.
As I looked up at the moon, I noticed a large number of solid lights traveling from a southeastern to northwestern direction. All lights were equidistant and in the same formation. I couldn't guess the altitude.
much higher than commercial flights. There were several normal aircraft in the area. I watched about 25-30 of these lights fly over, I tried to record them with my phone, but thanks to the bright moon, didn't get anything.
I went inside and told my wife to come outside and look. She was baffled, especially at the speed they were traveling. Much to fast to be a commercial flight, and too many on the same flight path.
I tried looking on the airplane tracker sites to see what was in the air at the time, and nothing out of the norm. Definitely not what we witnessed.

Witness noticed a bright light that first appeared to be a plane descending over the Middlefield hills while looking out the front window atop a Durham ct hill. Witness was located south of it, facing north. It moved slowly in a downward 45-deg direction towards the west, paused, and descended again slowly straight down.
It paused again, then spun as if it was a centrifuge. Lights dimmed and disappeared. Guess at location would be, near Wadsworth State Park or further north.
It was unusually bright. (MUFON CMS).

Was outside star gazing with my night vision and from east to west flew a formation of 4 crafts in a straight line almost on top of each other. Once in a while 1 or 2 of them would slightly break formation but then go back to being in a straight line. This was not satellites or aircraft.
They were pretty high up but still visible without the night vision and also witnessed by my wife and our neighbor. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Emerald Green Orb viewed on the 4th of July in Middletown, CT. My sister and I were watching the Middletown fireworks from the backyard last night, facing west towards the Connecticut River. It was a beautiful clear evening.
We didn’t have a clear view of the fireworks; they were visible through the trees only. Off to the left of the display in the back field (facing west) I noticed an emerald green object in the sky that looked like an orb, the size of a grapefruit that I pointed out to my sister. The orb was stationary above the tree line for a good 3-5 minutes, in which time we had a discussion.
Was it a plane watching for fires? We reasoned a plane couldn’t stay in one location for so long. We changed our logic and thought perhaps a helicopter. It seemed to still and small to be a helicopter, there was no sound that we could detect.
We then reasoned it was a droid. We have no knowledge of droids or their behavior. Then the orb started moving in our direction, it gave off no sound, changed its color form em! erald green to red, moved behind a tree about 20 yards from us, changed color back to green and floated off in a southern direction beyond our view.
That was weird, we decided, what was that? Within 5 minutes, it came back again, hovering above the tree line where it first appeared, to the left of the fireworks display. I went into the house and got my phone and binoculars. As I viewed the orb through the binoculars, it looked like three green arrows, pointed in the same direction, with a small circular shape at the front (>>>).
Again it drifted closer in our direction, went behind that same big oak tree and skirted off in the same southern direction. I’m the worst photographer on the planet but did get two pics with my cell phone, my sister got one pic. Is this thing a Droid or what????.

Two strange lights chase each other across the sky I have a great view of lamentation mountain from my back patio and am a regular star gazer with or without telescope multiple nights a week. I was sitting out on patio on Saturday the tenth, watching the stars, and noticed a strange thing. My house is directly on the flight path to Bradley airport, so I know the regular tracks of planes.
In addition, the sky is dark and clear enough to see the space station overhead on most nights as it passes. I noticed what at first took for a satellite passing overhead as it had that pinprick of light effect. White/blue and very dim.
Then I noticed another light behind it following it. Very similar in size and color but it did not move in a straight line. This object weaved back and forth in a fluid like manner while following the first object across the night sky almost like a dance.
This occurred as it went south west to north east over head lasting about a minute before I lost both objects behind some thin clouds. It definitely was not a plane as the objects were very fast and the second object weaved about in ways a plane couldn't, totally silent. Definitely fascinated me even though every hair on my body stood up as I watched it happen.

bright big circular light with an aura like light next to the full moon and bellow a tiny little light getting closer to it or in it. Sitting Report: I work as a housekeeper at the Middletown court house in CT. As I come close to finish my shift I walked into the jury room to clean as schedule.
The room is in the sixth floor the last floor in the building and it has the biggest windows and it faces the CT River with an amazing view. I’m usually contemplating the view out these windows whether is night or day. Well as I enter the room I right away see the full moon Big and bright, shade in the water and a planet or big bright star next to it (so I thought) just stunning and beautiful.
I wanted to take a picture but for some reason I thought to get my co-worker because she has a bigger and updated phone and it could take got pictures. Well before I decide to go get her I was staring at both the moon and what I thought it was a big bright planet or star beside it. I started to notice a small light getting closer and closer to it and maybe even going in it.
So I right away ran to get my co-worker exited and at the same time a! little weird out about it that I forgot to take a shot with my phone just in case. Eight minutes went by and I couldn’t find my co-worker anywhere so I returned to the sixth floor to the same window view and I couldn’t believe it……it wasn’t there anymore!!!!! So I regret not taking a picture I was so mad. But I took a picture of the view anyways.
I should of took that shot it was as bright as a planet or star next to the full moon. I wonder if anybody else reported seeing something similar tonight as well. Well that’s my story I am excited I had two ufo sittings back home in Puerto Rico when I was twelve years of age and experienced a bright light in my home that lasted about an hour and then went away.
I believe, by experience not because.

Hovering object with 4 lights that took off once we got a good look, and then it was gone within seconds! I saw two lights in the sky that I first thought were stars and then as we drove closer I saw that the lights were part of an object. The object didn't seem to be moving. It seemed to hovering over this one spot.
Then as soon as we got to the place it was hovering over it started to move. It just so happened to be moving the same direction that were headed and were able to get a better look at it. It looked like it had a diamond shape to it and it had 4 lights.
It was lower to the ground than a plane would be which is another reason why it caught my friend's and my attention. Once we reached our destination and we were able to really look at it, it just took off and within seconds it was nowhere to be seen!.

Lit object hovering in sky over CT river.Then planes began circling it in the area.it remained then moved upwards Viewed Glowing object in southeasterly direction from Southern Middletown area placing the object over the CT river near Haddam.
It glowed and hovered and did not remain stationary as it moved behind trees and then appeared again while I remained on my back porch in the same position. After sighting this I noticed planes began flying towards the object. Not typical planes or commercial aircraft.
These were different. I could tell by the sound and light colors of the aircraft which were different than most commercial airliners. The object remained for over two hours then began moving upward in the sky until it was gone.
It reappeared once again 2 weeks later.
