odd, flashing object i could only describe during recording as "flying police car" saw an object in the sky, thought first plane, then noticed the odd lights, not in a plane shape, along with weird flashing, and at first thought the lights were red and blue like a police car but in the sky, so i took my phone out and recorded it. noticed later it had multiple lights, red, orange, yellow, blue, green and white. 15 minutes later a jet flew over in the same direction, looked like jet, acted like a jet, did not match what i got on video.

Bright, Red, Illuminated sky, at 3:30 am I've lived here 33 years, i now the landscape, i've reported odd military drills before, I've reported fireballs and shooting stars different astronomy groups before. This i've never seen before. I'm, used to second and third shift life style so i'm always up late in the night, but this, no, never seen it before.
Beyond the trees, in the direction of Hampden, Mass., directly north of us, and emanating from the sky, not the ground, the sky is an reddish orange color, and emanating enough light, for me to see the silhouette of the trees, while the moon, is behind us high in the sky with a blueish tint. I will enclose 3 pictures from an iphone 5, 2 in the backyard, and one from the front of the house, with porch lights, and house lights on, and yet this red light is seen behind the house, causing a silhouette of the house.
I live in the woods, we never have light pollution like this there is no city in that direction, it's nothing but small towns, and woods in that direction.

irregular military activity in civilian airspace this is not really a ufo report but more of irregular military activity in a rather none military area. I witnessed first a pair of UH-60 Blackhawk gunships with flyby wire missiles loaded traveling southward which is odd. Being on the other side of the state from Skiorsky it not odd to occasionally see a single hawk in the air, but to see 2 let alone armed gunships in the air is rare.
What happens next is what makes me wonder. flying low enough as to either land, or to be below the radar screen a c-130 flys east to west and this is not the first time i've seen one of these flying in this direction and altitude in the last month more actually the 7th time. There is no air base in the region that supports these aircraft certainly not in a east to west manner that they are flying.
There is the westover air force reserve base however it is north of my location and the distance is too soon for the planes to be on a landing approach, these c-130's have been flying lower then normal air traffic approaching the much closer bradley international airport and are on an intersect course with normal air traffic, which i also find to be very odd, as the FFA tends to be anal when military planes due such a thing.

Red orange fireball but with what seemed like edges of structure underneath. Moved west for 20 seconds perhaps, paused then dipped briefly, and then rose and disappeared.

Military flyovers more common, no miltary base for miles i was in my house when i heard a rumbling, Sounded like a jet, nothing out of the ordinary how ever it was loud and distintive so i figure its either a low flying jet heading into bradley international airport (south west of me), or a miltary jet heading to West Over air force Reserve base(northern of me). So i step outside and look up to the west and see the jet and the jet trail, but i'm still hearing the nose and notice almost parrell is a second jet. some distance away i would have to say but seeing to jets matching speed and general direction strikes me as odd, and as they fade away under the tree line the noise i can still hear, and i look to the east, to 2 more jets.
They're not to low, normal distance from ground for normal everday jets. Exceptthey're cruising quit fast, with both direction and speed i know they're niether circling to land at bradely nor west over. I notice with the one now diretly over head from the wing span, general shape, and th! e spilt in each jet trail after the exuast that these birds have 2 engines per wing, and the cool flat grey of the air force, maybe a c-5 or a c-17 again not out of the ordinary, except they're going fast from an odd to vector to an unknown destination and even wehn we first entered the war in iraq i've never seen more then 2 of these in the air like this at the same time.
Thats when i noticed a 5th? aircraft for the last set as they head west in between the 2, this one was either smaller or higher up, no sign of the ussal jet trail and was matching speed. However as they're heading towards the sun i figure it could just of been a glare as it soon disapeared. In the Last year when comes to air traffic, i've seen a few things out of place in terms of military aircraft.
most things are ussal, A-10's flying either from bradley air national gaurd or from West Over (both currently deployed in the middle east)C-5,s C-17, C-130/ac=130s, black hawks (CT home of skikorsky afterall) and chinooks. but then theres times were things are odd, i remember seeing here abotu a report in neiboring enfield about 4 f-15s flying overhead, and i remember that night with my brother seeing and hearing them but with being night i could not identify them as f-15's but just airfighters in formation minimal lights on them going rather fast and low in both a residential area and a general area for comercial airfact to circle. Back here in somers myself and a friend witnessed in daylight back in janruary a fligth of 3 f-15's crusing low enough to read USAF on each wing headed towards west over, and last summer my self and my neighbors got to see a little ar! iel show by a lone f-22 doing barel rolls and the short at high speeds and low altitude.
I know of not, in terms of air bases, anywhere out here that support f-22's. In short what is certain is air traffic in terms of military has picked up alot latley, and they're quite noticable.

i made a report on the 16th and being a nigth person and smoker im out side alot i find it odd i see this object a 2nd time 5 days later, stars and shit u would normally see continulousy (spelling?) i find this odd also its out 2 hours earlier in a higher location in the sky i tried calling my friend across town who witnessed it last time, but he was unavlible so i call my other friend 3 towns away in east windsor, who i told about the first time, and she did she it right where i said it would be, and as she saw she was in time to see it change colors again from a white to a crimson red, the other difference this time is it was shooting off what appeared to be like fire works, for the alttitude, location of the horizon and the fact it wasnt seen starting lower, but above the object, i can cancel out the odds it was a firework or a flare the other issuse was there was a beam of light to the right of it at an angle, in which it was, if u did that old trick where u extened ur arm out stick out ur thumb, cover one eye, and notice u can ussally block the moon . this beam from the object was long enugh to not be blocked, meaning it would appear to be longer then the moon when visible, my street light also flickered, a few times after beam was shot out, and my cell phone with full battery shut off and wont go back on, i currently have it in the charger i've also notice that since the incedent, there has been an increase of small cargo jets headed to West over air force base, smaller then a 737, but shaped different, kinda like the ones the air force or navy use for radar, and shit again if you have any info on this please contact ((e-address deleted)) i mean seriously i told my friends about it the first time, and i have 2 witnesses 1 for each account, DAMMIT I STOPPED GOING TO THE BAR OVER THIS.

1-2 diamond objects, low on western horizon, changing colors, hovering, and within 1/2 nearby air force jets headed toawrds object lets be honest on this one, i go out for a smoke, im a late night person of the age of 21, and sober for a 20 hour period prior to this, and so im ((deleted)) in the front yard, whos around i live in the woods right out in Somers, Ct off of Route 83? i notice a red light coming up from the horizon, my thought is typical jet. it stops. thats nothing new.
from the distance and angle it could be turning.except its barely over the tree line, so its pretty low on the horizon. heres when i knew what it wasnt, im lookin at this for about 5 mins and it hasnt moved, it looked like it was twitching, and the color changed to blue lil odd, so i call up my friend on my cell phone whom lives on the other side of somers, bout 4 min drive from the state prison.
i tell em to look at the star low on the horizon on the western sky, he thinks im seeing shit, i hear em gasp, at the same time we're seeing it change colors again to green and expand, next thing we know theres 2 of them, one above the other, this last for 10 mins as it moves south on the horzion, he decides its time that he needs some sleep before he starts assuming and finding himself writing this as well. i watched it for an addtional 15 mins and watch it converge into one again, i decided to give up when i notice the usal night time animal noises stopped, and having about an acre of property seeing neighbor hood cats and raccons running east ward up into the monutians leading to stafford and hamden, im thinkin, wait, animals fleeing away from it.if they're scared i should to, as im going back in, theres also a noise around this time i couldnt describe, it wasnt animal, but it didnt sound like an aircraft either the last great thing.
if anyone has info on this please contact me at ((e-address deleted)) the event happened starting around 1:30 am on june 16, 2006 in the north central ct, south central ma, area ((NUFORC Note: We presume that this is intended to be a serious-minded report, but we are not certain. PD)).

Object with 4 light beams and high pitch grinding sound in the Connecticut/Massachusets border line on 9/3/2001, 5:16 am. The flying object was observed at 5:16 am on September 3, 2001. The direction of the flight was from West to East directions in the Connecticut/Massachusets state border.
The object had distinctively observable 4 ligth beams (similar to high beams in the cars) alligned in rectangular format and a flashing white ligth in the center. But, it could be in a diamond format from my point of view. The sound of the craft was very unusual for a plane or a helicopter.
It almost sound it like a metal to metal rubbing with a very high pitch grinding/roaring sound. The time I observed was at 5:16 am with a clear night view in the background. The 4 beams on the corners and the center flashing light were pointing downwards, making the area below the craft relatively brite.
The speed of the craft was steady, with a speed comparable to a slow flying helicopter. The altidude of the craft may have been in the range of approx. 1/2 km to 1 km.
The whole observation may have been in 5 to 10 seconds time frame while, the object was still visible through my window. I am wondering if anyone else has reported anything similar in this time period.
