Low flying UFO, "S" shape flight path, then flew into the ocean. Hello, Last night (12/5/2016) at 8:05 p.m.
, in Niantic, Connecticut, I saw a craft in the sky that maneuvered unlike anything I have seen in my 30 years of life. The aerial craft was low, flying traveling at an incredible speed. It was making an “S” shape in the sky and had a steady red light on it.
It was flying from East to West. I saw a green light blink twice from it with no steady interval. I stepped out onto Main Street to fallow it.
I thought about taking out my phone to capture it, but I couldn’t take my eye off of it. I was struck with fear and awe. Then it did a 180, shot back to the east, and shot straight down into the estuary several blocks away.
I was not on any drugs and had only had half a beer.

Full Report Text:
Two strange lights hovered above the surface of a lake, broke the surface, and disappeared. It was a very windy morning, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. I was inside standing by the kerosene heater, and I was thinking about yesterday.
I heard geese squawking outside so looked up to look out the window toward the lake. The geese were flying just shy of the surface of the lake; but they weren’t what caught my eye. The waves were surprisingly rough because of the wind, and hovering above the waves were two blue lights.
One light on the right was slightly higher than the other. The two lights were separated by at least a foot. I couldn’t take my eyes off them.
I ran to the sliding glass door and pressed myself up against the glass to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. I yelled at my mom for her to look. She ignored me.
They hovered slowly forward, and then, suddenly the lights as if reacting to something, dropped and broke the surface of the water. It went under. I slipped on my shoes and ran outside.
I watched the surface of the lake for at least a half hour. The lights didn’t resurface. I’m still waiting for it to come back up.
Whatever it was, it was small, and the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

flashing light with incredible speed and manuverability I was anchored in my boat 4 miles offshore about 500 yards from bartlets light. It was 8:30pm when we arrived.At that time the visibilty in the fog was about a half mile as I could just barely see the white light on the light tower.
By 10:00 pm the visibility went down to zero.We were the only boat around as the other 3 left because of the fog.We were planning on fishing all night so it didn`t matter to us.
About 1:00 am,my partner went to the front of the boat to lay down.I stayed in the back in my chair,still fishing.About 10 minutes went by and I happend to look up towards the sky and saw a green flashing light.
My first thought was the fog was just thick at low-level and I could see up some,and I could see an airplane so I began to look for stars or clouds,but could see nothing else but this green flashing light.After about 10 seconds this flashing light began to zip from left to right,with each zig-zag a little higher or lower than the previous.That began to freek me out because I`ve never seen anything move like that or that fast in the air before.
I called for my partner who was up immediatly.He saw it and we watched it as It headed straight down towards the water, again, very fast.I thought it was going into the water,but it stopped at water level and the light was stationary as to be in a *hover*.
At that time it was in front of us,just to our left.After a few seconds of the hover it began to move slowly by us on our left,still at water level.After it went by and was off the back of the boat we saw it go straight up,only about 3 blinks of the light,then it was gone.
He said to me WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT! I have no explanation as the way and the speed at which it darted and being the visibility, it had to be within 100 yards of me,and neither of us heard a sound,and it was dead calm out there. I am now a believer. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness at length, and he seemed to us to be exceptionally serious-minded and credible.
PD)).

Oh, what a night ! Two (2) saucer-shaped, glowing green objects and one (1) brilliantly glowing sphere gliding over the lake. My father, mother, sister and I had just finished dinner. When my sister, who left the table first, went to the front part of the house, yelled suddenly "Mom, Dad - look out over the lake.
" When we heard that, we rose from the table and looked out the kitchen windows. We observed two (2) saucer shaped objects over the boat landing area, which was located approximately one-quarter of a mile away. They had a light green aura.
My sister and I ran out behind the house and up the hill to observe from a better vantage point. When we turned back around to look at the objects, we noticed a third object over the water of the lake, which appeared to be approximately three hundred (300) to three hundred and fifty (350) yards away. It's appearance was that of a sphere of approximately ten (10) yards in diameter, that was glowing from within with an intense, pure, bright white light which reflected off the water and tree tops.
The third craft moved slowly in a south-easterly direction at approximately five (5) miles per hour, crossing from the water onto the land and above the trees. Meanwhile, our attention was recaptured by the two (2) saucer-shaped objects. While my sister and I were observing the crafts and concentrating on them intently, I noticed that cloud-like formations appeared flanking the objects.
Both craft then seemed to move within the cloud-like formations. One of the objects and it's accompanying cloud-like formation faded from sight over a period of approximately five to seven seconds. The other cloud-like formation was at this point still visible.
Shortly after the first cloud disappeared, the remaining vessel emerged halfway from the cloud-like formation, as if to be playing 'peek-a-boo'. Then I suddenly felt a shiver throughout my entire body, and began wondering where the first craft had disappeared to, and if it were behind me. I turned to look and there was nothing there.
That was when I realized that I was dealing with something that was beyond my experience. ! We both ran back down the hill and into the house. When we looked back out the window, there was nothing there.
Though this event seems to be something of a dream, I do know that it really happened, and that it has made a large impact upon my life and the way that I look at things. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).
