Similar "bright-star" sighting as other reports. Similar "bright-star" sighting as other reports. Around midnight above tree line mid sky a bright star is visible.
Most of the time it is not moving, suggesting it is perhaps the North Star or part of a constellation. Sometimes it appears to be very slowly moving - not fast enough to be flying, just enough movement to be noticeable. Beyond the situation (the star) something seemed slightly off.

Teenage Boy Basically I was trying to fall asleep on a somewhat cloudy day with a full moon. I was having trouble falling asleep because at the lake near my house people were shooting off fireworks because it was the day before Memorial Day. There are skylights in my room that are angled at 45 degrees so while I was lying on my side I was staring out one.
I can usually see aircraft towards the top of the window flying around but it’s just planes and such. While I was staring out the window a pencil shaped object that had lights on it went flying by. It was close to the ground and traveling very fast.
It made no noise and was going in a straight line from east to west. I do not do drugs or drink which is why I am very confused about what I saw. I did further research about UFO’s in Old Lyme and found out a similar story that described the same craft I saw which took place five years earlier.
Thanks you for reading.

a large object with two slow flashing lights. slowly moving near D.E.
P fishing area While I wad fishing along the Connecticut river at around 11 pm there was a large object in the sky. It was moving east to west. I was able to see the silhouette of the object, which was very large.
It had two slow blinking lights, one in the front and back. It was not moveing at a fast past, like hovering with no sound. Without turning the object started moving north and became out of view.
This was not a plane because there were some in the distance.

Full Report Text:
spots in the sky that appear suddenly and disappear just as suddenly . photographed On 1/3/09 I was photographing a sunset and noticed a white spot appear in my camera below cloud level that hadn’t been visually preceded by anything in that part of the sky. It didn’t appear to be a plane due to the absence of blinking lights or any lead up to its appearance.
It clearly didn’t seem to be a satellite since it was below cloud level. The event became more peculiar because then a second bright spot appeared next to it for about a minute and then one of the two disappeared (a hard thing for a satellite or plane to do, if that’s what they were.) After three minutes, I lost view of any spot in the nearly dark sky.
The reason I decided to report this is because I photographed a series of eight very clear images of that three minute span and continue to be baffled by looking at those pinpoints of light below cloud level. If viewing the images is deemed worth your while, I need some guidance as to how to do so. The fact that there is such precise time related data on the camera further prompted me to write a report.

extremely fast pure white object over old lyme no noise or trail standing in driveway, as usual looking up towards sky facing west . night was typical, clear with few large low clouds. moon was bright could see tops of clouds and a bit through them ( like a full moon in winter ) was about three cloud patterns, two close together, the third in line closest to me with a bit of distance from the other two.
I happened to look more straight up towards twelve oclock, i then saw what i could describe as " short fat number two pencil rounded not sharpened at both ends" it was pure white colored(bright white) , i just caught glimpse berfore it went into first cloud, as it went over second cloud it lit up cloud like lightening, but only for a split second. it made no noise, had no trail like a shooting star, and looked like it was moving in a straight line ( not arched up or moving downward, perfect like an arrow ) biggest thing is how fast i first saw until it was gone with no noise whatsoever and how straight with no trail front or rear!! someone else over eastern connecticut shoreline had to see it that night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
