Nov 8, at approx 8:35 pm, driving west on rte 372 in Plainville, CT, saw 3 bright lights in a row, close together hovering over the rte 72 extension highway that goes into Bristol. As I got closer the lights flew over the Trumbull Ave. neighborhood and then headed near the YMCA along Rte 10 North bound, over the cemetery and towards the area of Robertson Airport.
This object seem to change shape to a butterfly with colored lights when it was near the YMCA, but went back straight line of white lights. Lost view of it as it flew North.

2 Discs moving by commercial planes at rapid pace. Me and my friend were sitting out side having a smoke. We are on the approach for Boston Airport.
The last few nights we have see lines of jets flying to Boston as always. Tonight, we saw the flights as always but with a twist. There were 2 saucer like disks, a bit larger than the commercial flights going along abreast, a lot higher than the planes.
No sound or lights, just a reflection from the setting sun. It passed 2 airlines like they were traveling 2 times there speed. We have had a bunch of sightings in the last 2 months!.

Two orange/pink lights following each other. I was getting in my car to go pick up my Daughter from work. I sat in my car and started it and closed the door.
I am a smoker, so I put the driver side window down. Looking up at the stars and noticed a big orange/pink light coming out of the South West. I got out of the car to get a better look, and it had a bright orange/pink glow all around it when it was approaching and when it was departing.
As the first one passed at a slow speed, I looked and about 5 miles right behind it was another one. The first one had no sound at all. I alerted two young kids of about 13 and told them to look up.
They were freaking out. I ran in and grabbed my camera and got a shaky video, but you can clearly see the 2 crafts one in front of the other. Really cool.
I will upload the video in its raw form, if I can. Going out to look a little more.

Saw a irregular shaped object low flying in the distance with two red blinking lights one on top and on the bottom. Was driving past Tunxis Community College, on my way back from Bristol Walmart, and happened to catch a glow of light as I looked up. I proceeded down Plainville Ave.
past Tunxis, when I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a very bizarre irregular black craft, low flying in the sky. I pulled my car over to get a better look when I noticed a very bizarre shaped craft with two red blinking lights one on top and one on the bottom of this object. I have never seen anything quite like it in my life.
Perhaps it was a drone of some kind? It proceeded very slowly to move west towards Bristol and out of view. I could not estimate size of object other than it appeared irregular in shape, with two blinking red lights.

Pretty bright light, like a star coming down from the sky, just seconds. This is the second time i see it, in the same place.

During and a thunderstorm small blue orbs of light appeared in the sky and near the ground, flashing During a severe thunderstorm I stood outside in the drive way, and also watched through the window of a door. First, there was only one small orb of light - pea sized near the roof of the neighbor's shed. It flashed periodically.
I knew it was not in the sky because it was below the tree line and in front of the other houses in the background. It was around 30 feet from me. Nearly an hour later, as I went to watch the storm once more, there were three of these lights.
One was in the far corner of the next-door-neighbor's yard, the other was coming from the sky, through the trees, and another was above the neighbor's roof. Though they seemed to be different distances from me, they all remained the same size. They were small blue orbs that flashed periodically.
At this time I also noticed that there were at least two helicopters and one airplane flying over town - an unusual amount of aircraft activity occurring during a dangerous thunderstorm.

Huge fireball with a firey tail shooting across the sky I was at my kitched sink looking out the window when I saw a HUGE fireball shooting across the sky. It had a tail and although I thought I'd hear a crask, I didn't. It just disappeared or burned up.
I seemed really close, the closest shooting star I ever saw. ((NUFORC Note: Possible meteor. PD)).

Orbitting light dissappears then becomes two objects Me and my wife walk in the mornings before the sun comes up almost every day of the week. It was a clear sky so we were admiring Jupiter in its bright glory in the western sky when I noticed an object, nearly as bright as Jupiter appear behind Jupiter and move quickly towards the north-east. At the time I thought it to be the International Space Station as I’ve watched it travel overhead and the brightness and speed were very similar.
I continued to follow its progress across the sky until when it reached nearly overhead, it disappeared for a moment and then reappeared as two identical lights traveling along the exact same course at the same speed as before it disappeared. The objects appeared to me to be in orbit and when the one object became two they were separated by about a ½ fists width at arm’s length. When I got home from work later that day I checked one of the orbital spotting websites and did see that the IIS was traveling overhead near the time we viewed the event.
I've been an avid night sky watcher for over 35 years and in all those years I've never seen anything like this before; I have no clue what could have caused what I saw. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Rectangular object moving across the sky. My Girlfriend and I went out on the porch to have a cigarette and she said (What the hell is that?). I looked up in the northwestern sky and saw a very large rectangular object that seemed to be about 1000 feet up.
It was about 100Ft. long by about 75 Ft. wide.
It had four light orange lights, one on each corner with a solid beam. It was moving to the southeast at a moderate rate of speed. I would say a little faster than a jetliner.
We could hear no noise at all, which we both found very strange. I ran in to get my camera but by the time I came out (about 15 seconds) it was to far away to capture on film. My Girlfriend does not believe in UFO’s, but she is definitely starting to after last night.
