Driving up through route 8, saw two aircraft just sort of hovering in the air. I am an experienced pilot and flight instructor, so seeing things in the sky is normal to me. What isn’t normal is how these two aircraft moved and hovered.
Driving up Route 8 North through the S-turns before Naugatuck, I saw two white circular objects in the sky. They just stayed stationary for about 5-8 minutes before slowly beginning to move Westbound. They maintained equal distance apart and went the same speed when moving.
The shape, white color illuminated by the rising sun, hovering and movements just seemed off and unlike standard aircraft.

While standing on my back porch I saw a very bright light in the distance. The light was traveling in my direction and flew in a east to west path. As it passed over my house I could clearly see its shape.
It look like a ball of light with rope like appendages hanging from the ball of light. The entire thing emitted a very bright white slightly bluish light. There was no sound no exhaust and no trail.
It like floated across the sky. A short time later approximately a half an hour a very large very loud helicopter with a spotlight on the front flew over my house in the same direction the UFO went.

Me, my girlfriend her mom, my two kids and my girls mom and her brother were watching the fireworks. They abruptly stopped due to malfunction. We were in the hills of Naugatuck, ct.
we decided to start walking home after about 5 min because they were short and hadn’t known at the time what happened. In the sky we seen a glowing object we thought was a drown but was moving quick. It was circling around and around.
Then stopped where I was able to pull out my phone camera and record. I recorded for 15 seconds until my battery was dying I looked down for one second and heard everyone on the street screaming, “did you see that”. It became really bright white and then streaked in the sky and disappeared.
Amazing. If you zoom into the video you can see the energy around it. Very cool night.
The kids were crying they were very shaken up. The colors didn’t get on video but was orange red and purple white and blue.

Small black oval object, flew over condominium in Naugatuck, CT I went outside with my dog. It was sunny with few clouds. The time was 17:30.
I heard a helicopter, and looked up. A white helicopter with two rotors was going overhead. The helicopter was very low; I would estimate 150 feet off the ground.
There were no markings on the helicopter. As I looked at the white copter a black oval object flew into my view. The object was small maybe six feet in length.
I could see the sun glinting off of this object. The object flew directly at the white helicopter. I thought that it would collide with it.
At the last moment the object veered away. It flew east up over the other building in our condominium complex then quickly veered south towards the Naugatuck State Forest at great speed. I continued down the hill with my dog to the end of our road.
At that point, an unmarked single rotor black helicopter flew towards the Naugatuck State Forest following the path of the object. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

I was sitting on the deck with family and unidentified avian crafts became visible. Hovering over cities. Some were so far away they looked like stars, but we had watched them come up from the southwest and fly east and slightly north.
They could have been surveillance drones, but wow. that's all I can say ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain semi-anonymous; provides little contact information. PD)).

Driving home on rte 8 n, to my right, at exit 25, saw bright white object, with bright white beam light shining towards ground.object was silent, and twice as high up then a helicopter would be. It seemed bigger too.
I kept glancing at it to see if it moved, but it just hovered. The next day, I read the Naugatuck Patch newspaper, and citizens reported an explosion noise. I wondered if the 2 were related? ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.
PD)).

i was sleeping and woke up thinking the kids left back light on. When I looked outside , the whole back yard was covered with illuminating green circles as if spotlights were in the snow. I woke up my husband and we went into the kitchen to look again.
I looked up and that green glow was all the way up as far as I could see on the branches off all the trees in backyard. I looked to both of my neighbors' house and I saw a few of the circular patterns but not as prominent. I was in awe.
I just went back to bed woke up at 4 am and nothing was there. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Large formation of lights in western sky, flying north to south. At around 9:10 or 9:15pm I came home from dropping a friend home from an appointment and as I exited my vehicle I looked to the western sky… There I saw a large diamond formation of lights with a rose/pinkish/orange color moving north to south across the sky.I soon noticed a 5th light trailing behind the formation and following the same direction.
I was a bit taken by this because I knew this was nothing I had ever seen before, when I then noticed two more lights some distance behind the other 5 and flying in a V shaped formation… One slightly behind and to the left of the other.I had looked around hoping there might be someone else around to witness this with me and also thought of going into the home to get a digital video camera.I decided to stay there and watch the objects.
The formation was large, very large in the sky and moving in unison… There was no noise at all, and also no aviation lights blinking… Also no indication of aircraft at all near this formation… There was also no breaking this formation, just a steady flight, north to south direction. I soon noticed that the formation would pass behind some trees, which had not yet any leaves, but only buds. I noticed as I waited for them to come back into clear view, that they seem to be disappearing.
When they did come back into an unobstructed view, there was only one light or object, which soon began to fade away and was gone.I had taken noticed that there were a few wispy high clouds here and there, but I checked for stars in the general area and could see stars. For decades, on clear nights just after sunset, I've looked for satellites in the sky, these were not even close… There was no sound of helicopters, no sound of prop or jet engines.
No sound at all, no flashing lights. I did come back again from time to time to check to see if any more could be seen, and nothing was. I know what I saw, I just don't know what it was I saw.
It's my hopes that maybe someone else may have seen it, or that there's an explanation for what I witnessed.

I observed an amber light heading in my direction (northbound). The light seemed to gradually intensify slightly, and fade slightly, dissimilar to the flashing lights of typical aircraft. This is what caught my attention.
It stopped for a few moments, approximately half a minute, and remained stationary. It was far away, but I listened for helicopter sounds which I did not hear. It seemed to begin moving away, as the light faded, and then disappeared.
There were clouds in the sky, but it seemed as though the light was below the clouds.

Glowing pinkish red object. Heading north and silent running. Second sighting within an hour.
This time I got video and a couple of photos. This was the same type that we saw an hour ago however this time I was not able to make out the craft. We could only see the flare looking glow.
It started out at the same speed and then seemed to pick up speed. It was heading north but was not on the exact same track as the one we saw at 22:00. Nothing flashing just the pinkish red glow.

Mufti sided grey craft with pinkish red smaller illumination off center. Looked like a flare. Heading due north.
Silent At first it looked like a flare or a firework. Since to the 4th of July I expected it to be a falling firework but it didn't burn out and kept on moving forward. It was pinkish red like a flare.
It traveled across the sky and I lost sight of it only when it went behind the trees. When I caught the next glimpse of it I was able to see the actual craft. It was silent in the night sky.
I grabbed my camera but by the time I realized it wasn't a firework it was too late as it was already heading behind the trees and I couldn't get a shot of it. I wasn't sure what it was until I was able to see the craft itself. A grayish 5 or 6 sided craft heading due north.

Silver saucer with round top in daylight sky I was driving on Route 8 passing Naugatuck, CT. I looked up and a silver saucer craft flew right across my eyes, lower than a plane but higher than a bird. It had a round top and was gone after I drove faster to see it again.

Erratic-moving amber light in sky Around 7:15 p.m., I observed a light in the sky which at first I thought was a star.
Upon closer observation, I noticed that it was moving. It appeared in the north/western sky and was amber in color. It moved back and forth and up and down in an erratic pattern.
I was not sure what I was seeing so I called my husband upstairs to observe it. He thought it was a helicopter or plane, but the lights did not really appear to blink and I have never seen either of those aircrafts move like this one did. My husband lost interest and returned to watch the playoff game downstairs.
I stayed and decided to get a better look from by porch. While I was outside, the light slowly started to descend out of my view, down past the tree line. I live up on a hill off of Route 63.
This light appeared to be near/over Route 8, but I could be wrong, because it was so far away. Both my husband and I are educated and "normal" people who do not give much notice to these sorts of things. If anyone else has noticed this light, I'd love to see your comments.

A sphere seen low in the sky hovering,but making no noise. Vanishes in an instant with no sign of propulsion. Just gone.
I was visiting my bro.inlaw with my kids in Naugatuck, CT, USA. Approx.
2pm EST. The house sits at the top of one of the highest points in Naugatuck. My kids were all outside playing on a swing-set when something spherical in the sky caught my eye.
I was on the deck while my kids played outside on that swing-set. I saw a craft just hovering and not moving or making a sound, in the sky. It was just hanging perfectly still in the sky.
The craft was spherical with a brassy like color. I heard nothing at all coming from this spherical craft. I could definitely see what looked like "L" shaped individual panels making up the sphere.
I could see what looked like divots attaching the "L" panels together to make up the sphere. It was approx 25yards away, maybe closer, from where i was standing, in the sky. It was very close to me.
I starred for a few minutes and then called out to my Bro.inlaw to come take a look with me. I hadn't taken my eyes OFF this craft, all the while asking my Bro.
inlaw to come out and look at this sphere with me. We both did not know what we were actually seeing. At which point i asked him to get binoculars so we could get a closer look at it.
My eyes still fixed on the craft. I did NOT take my eyes off of it, at all. But, at the same time, my kids were calling up to me.
"mom, mom." I finally looked in their direction, and said"what?", and when i looked back.the sphere was gone.
in an instant! In one second! There were No signs of noise or trails in the sky. I even looked thru the binoculars to see if i could find it. But to no avail .
There was no sign of it on the horizon, or above it, at all. But as to where this sphere went, neither of us knew. I looked in every direction possible.
It just vanished, in an instant. I believe that perhaps a cloaking device may have made this craft disappear. Only because nothing that I know of, mechanically, can vanish so very quickly without some sign of it travelin! through the air.
I also had a feeling that they were watching me also. Because it didn't vanish, or even move, until i looked away, for that split second. No noise, no smoke, no trails in the sky.
It had just disappeared into thin air. A spectacular sighting. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.
PD)).
