A creature ran across my driveway I own 14 acres of woods and am surrounded by many more. I was driving down my driveway when a bipedal creature about 4 ft tall and about as wide as my thigh (I'm 5'6" 140lbs so not big) ran out of the woods to my left, across my driveway and into the woods/yard of the property on the right. It was about 10 yards away.
It looked like a tree on legs with small arms. No visible curves, hips or shoulders. Just straight.
It was brown, skinny, no fur or hair, lightning fast and light as a feather. Almost looked like it wasn't even touching the ground. Didn't hear a sound from it running and all the birds and other animals were dead silent.
When it ran it didn't prance like most animals or run like a human. It's legs were moving as if you were pedaling a bicycle. I saw the back and a bit of the right side of it.
I didn't see the front or a face. I didn't see a tail, ears or any other body parts a normal animal or human would have. About 2 months ago I was outside around 10pm and there were 2 owls hooting back and forth.
Then I heard this God awful screeching sound (wasn't a fisher cat or screech owl). I have no idea if that was related or not. I don't do drugs and I was not drinking.
I am not on any medication or anything like that. I don't know if it was for sure an alien but I don't know what else it could be. I did not see any craft or anything although I wasn't going to walk thru the woods to look either.

3 Bright Ovals scanned front to back and disappeared. I witnessed 3 bright but silent objects hovering approximately for 30-40 seconds and then a bright flash almost like the light was scanning from front to back but the light was intense almost as bright as a spot light on a helicopter. Then I was able to see something/someone lowered out of one of the crafts into the field across the street then quickly go back up into the craft.
Shortly after the 3 bright lights flashed and disappeared but could see the light trails behind them and still with out making any noise. I possibly have this on my home security system.

Three bright white lights in synchronized flight. Three separate bright white lights spotted on a relatively clear and quiet night. One following behind the other, traveling due east.
Why it was unusual and caught our attention is that they were extremely high in the sky, at first mistaken for stars. The lights were the size of a large star seen in the sky this night. The lights were steady, not flashing.
They were traveling quite fast as compared to the very visible planes passing nearby, and they flew in a synchronized line. They made no sound.

Large rectangular object with 4-5 flashing lights On 12/22/19 im driving home from a friend's house in oxford though a back road. A somewhat remote part I notice up in to the left a large rectangular object that seemed to be hovering. Had what i want to say 5 maybe 4 flashing lights they were flashing red but one was flashing green.
from what I can tell it was not a plane even though the airport is close by. As I look foward i see a police car driving towards me. My guess the cop was following this object there was no way he didnt see it.
I got nervous looked forward sped all the way home.I was only able to see the object for seconds an as i was driving, during the incident I thought about pulling out my phone but didn't have enough time. Talked to my friend and asked if theres any radio towers or anything in the sky in that area and he assures me no.
Whatever it was definitely wasnt a plane wish i could of look a little longer but i wanted to get home asap.

Extremely loud craft, not visible, woke two of us up at 3:50 am. At 3:50 am, 2 of us heard the loudest, strangest noise, it sounded sort of like a helicopter landing, but even louder, extremely loud, but I could not see anything anywhere. It was bizarre.
It shook the house. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

We saw a weird glowing light in the sky that appeared to be slowly moving and then hovering. Object had red lights around it that blinked slowly. We watched object for aout 90 seconds before it disappeared.
Second object came over tree line, about 500 feet in the air and then hovered, red lights blinking. We live near the airport so I called and I was the fourth person to report the activity. The second object hovered for about the same time as the first and then disappeared when two planes passed over head.
Planes were coming in to near by airport.

Gentleman phones air traffic control tower to inquire as to what he saw. First, I need to stress the following: I AM NOT THE WITNESS OF THIS EVENT. I am an air traffic controller relaying vague information collected by a caller who contacted me during my shift.
The caller reported seeing a "balloon" shaped object passing directly over the runway at the airport where I work. The caller estimated the object to be at 2,000 ft., flying from north to south.
Given what was told, I attempted to locate the object in the sky to the south. I was unable to do so. I saw nothing.
I contacted another air traffic facility; one equipped with radar. I explained to them what had been reported and asked them if they saw anything to the south of the airport that might account for this. The replied in the negative.
Additionally, a pilot who landed approximately 10-15 minutes after the call reported seeing nothing abnormal while flying to the airport.

Fast moving object that was hovering over trees and houses I am typing this because I saw a UFO with someone who reported on this site, and you said you were going to need confirmation from other witnesses. This object was the most unbelievable thing that I have ever seen in my life. It looked just like a jetliner thousands of feet in the sky, and within a matter of seconds it was hovering over trees and houses in CT.
After we saw this, we drove around the area a little more to see if there was any police action, or any families gathering outside of their houses because we wanted to share our experience with somebody else. I do know that it was not a helicopter, as my friend said in his posting. I was never a firm believer in UFO's, but this has changed my opinion regarding that subject.
My uncle is a pilot at the Oxford Airport nearby, and I explained this to him and he said that nothing would have or could have hovered the way this thing did. It had no sound, and moved like the speed of light. Please use this as your confirmation, as I am another witness to this event.

This was a lit up object moving slowly, then jumping quickly and hovering above the woods and homes of Connecticut. We were driving along a windy, suburban Connecticut road when we saw what we thought was a jetliner high in the sky. There is an airport nearby, about 6 miles from where we saw this object.
It turned around in the sky and was heading towards us, shining a bright light towards the ground. I turned to look at everyone elses speechless faces, looked back and it was within 100 yards from us above the treetops hovering near large colonial homes going down beyond the treetops where there is a golf course. It looked like a large minivan or ambulance without wheels or wings, with an ambulance-like door on the back of the object.
It looked as if the door was lit-up, or glowing. It was absolutely not a helocopter or an airplane, because we rolled down our windows and heard nothing. ((NUFORC Note: Student report.
We will request confirmation from some of the other witnesses. PD)).

Large Cigar shaped object very close. This is my 3rd report on this site. I seem to be one of those people who are fortunate (or maybe unfortunate?) to see these objects.
I am not sure of the exact date, but my best guess is around March 1980. At that time I worked 2nd shift at a small shop in New Milford, Ct., but lived in Waterbury, Ct.
, maybe 30 miles away. I was driving home from work on Interstate 84 around 12:30 A.M.
It was a beautiful night. There was a very bright full moon, and it was perfectly clear. I had just passed though Southbury Ct.
There is a large hill as you come to the exit for Oxford, Ct. From this hill you can see Waterbury in the distance maybe 5-6 miles away. I was driving east, and I was coming down this hill.
I looked to my left over the 4 lane highway. Just above the treeline on the other side of the highway I saw what you would first believe to be a blimp. This object was dark against the bright sky and I could see it clearly.
It looked to be almost 100 feet long, and 15 feet high. It had no undercarriage of any kind, nor wings, or vertical/horizontal stabilizers as blimps usually have. It was round on each end.
It really did not look like a blimp. It was too long and narrow. Most blimps I have ever seen are much fatter than this object was.
It was maybe 150 feet to my left, and was flying VERY LOW. It did not look to be more than 30 feet above the trees that lined the highway. So it was maybe 60-75 feet above the ground.
This object was going east just like me, but slightly faster. I was probably going 65 MPH, I estimate the object to be travelling at around 80 MPH. The first thing I did was roll down my window to see if I could hear it, but all I could hear was the wind blowing past my car.
I left the window down so I could get a good look at it. Fortunately, there was no traffic at all, so I was able to take a pretty good look. What looked extremely strange and shocking about this object is that it had 3 large, perfectly round port-holes on it's underside.
They looked exactly like the port-holes on a ship. They were windows. I could see inside this object.
A blue light shined out of each port-hole downward into the trees. All I could see inside this object was blue light, but I am positive I could see into this object. Then, as the object gained on me, I could see another perfectly round port-hole on it's rear end.
I could also see inside this window. But this port-hole was different. A green light shined out of this port-hole and out behind it.
I was looking into this port-hole. But all I could see was green light inside the object. None of the lights were difficult to look at.
Now, the object was starting to get pretty far ahead of me. Then it did something that amazed me. At the bottom of this long hill the highway curves sharply to the left (north).
When this object came to the curve it made a smooth left turn. It was following the highway! That was a very strange thing to see. By now I was getting to the bottom of the hill myself and the object was getting pretty far away.
I lost it in the glow coming up from Waterbury. There is one more thing I want to say. I know many people mistake common objects for UFO's.
But I have thought about this object for many years, and do not believe I am mistaken. The ONLY object this remotely resembled would be a blimp. But I am sure it was not for several reasons.
1) It did not look like a blimp. I could see it clearly. It had no undercarriage for pilots, nor any wings, vertical or horizontal of any type.
2) It was quiet. I have seen the Goodyear Blimp and other blimps many times. They are quite loud.
You can usually hear them many miles away. Even though I was driving, this object was so close I should have been able to hear it clearly. 3) It was too low.
I cannot imagine anyone flying any aircraft just above the trees like this. Even if the military had some secret aircraft, I sincerely doubt they would fly it at such a dangerously low altitude. 4) It followed the highway.
I guess an aircraft could follow a highway, but I can't imagine why. I made a picture of this object on my computer using Paint. I am not an artist, the colors are not right at all, but it will give you the idea.
It was a pretty easy object to draw. You are welcome to use it if you wish, but please do not disclose my name or e-mail. Here is the link for my drawing: http://imagebay.
