UFO falling so fast, nothing would’ve could’ve stopped in time before ground contact. Was traveling on Route 84 west, between exits 31 and 30, at 6:30am, when in front of me, off in the distance some three miles away one triangular shaped object (with three points aiming up) was descending rapidly straight down. It was bright white/silver thinking the sun was reflecting off of it.
As it disappeared I expected a large sound thinking it was going to crash and explode. As I was driving on Route 84 towards where I figured it crashed. Kept looking for any orange glow and/or smoke but nothing.
Tried to rationalize by thinking it was a satellite or other space debris. Nothing on the news.

An aircraft of some kind covered an extreme amount of distance, then seemed to disappear. I was leaving my house to grab my phone from my car when I looked in the sky and saw a bunch of flashing lights in the sky. I passed behind some trees so I assumed it was just a low fling plane, but as I looked closer, it had moved an extreme amount of distance.
At this time I went to take a picture wen it began to fade. However just as it was about to dissapear from sight it made a bright likght the vanished.

9:00 PM 3 people spotted green and red lights in the sky for 5 minutes before disappearing. While I was visiting my friend Me And 2 other individuals walked along the street at night with only the light of the 2 street lights to guide us when we spotted a green and a red light directly next to each other with no space between them. For 2 or so minutes we looked at the lights as they moved through the sky with only a little motion.
After a while one of the people with me pulled out a camera but the lights were not picked up by the camera. After that, we walked away just to notice they where following us slowly. We picked up the pace as it disappeared in the treeline.
After walking down the road, we saw it again for a short moment before it rapidly descended into the trees. This could not have been a helicopter because we couldn't hear it, and it moved in circles, unlike a plane. We rushed home and filled out this report as fast as we could.

(1)white-ish pink/(2)red-ish orange massive fireballs hovering over Southington, Ct. then darted across sky at a abnormal rate of speed. On December 29, 2014, at approximately 19:42 hours, my dog had to go out, so I headed to my back yard.
As I stood along the fenceline of the yard, which runs parallel with I-84, I noticed a massive and extremely bright-lit reflection in my neighbors 2cd. Story window. It was so bright, that it illuminated the area around the window pane as well.
At this point, I looked up in an easterly direction to figure out what could create such a glow and that is when I saw a very bright and very large white in color fireball with a pink-ish white in color tail like shape appear to be fixed in the sky however, within seconds of noticing it hovering, it shot across the sky with such a high rate of speed it blew my mind. It literally appeared as though it hovered for a second and then completely darted into oblivion, it literally disappeared. Now my first thought was a shooting star or meteor however, it didnt fly away or in a downward motion like when stars die out.
It lit! erally disappeared, like it shut its lights out. I am a retired firefighter with respectful credibility who is a "show me the evidence" kind of guy, so I chalked it up to some weird shooting star. Yes that's what I did, of course, that was until I went outside again for my break (I work 3rd.
Shift) and what I saw blew my mind! It was approximately 1:02 AM (now on 12/30/14) and I was standing up against my employer's building, which ironically is about 1 mile down the street from my home (north), when I witnessed 2 of the same shaped fireballs that I saw earlier in the night appear out of nowhere in the sky above my employer. They were literally identical to the first sightings object, but this time they appeared different in color (again, the 1st. object was white/pink-ish in color).
They were a very bright red-ish orange in color (and again, this time there were 2). They appeared completely out of nowhere as if someone turned on a light. They were side-by-side and then within a few seconds of appearing (in which they were all so simply hovering), they completely darted again across the sky so fast that if I blinked I would have not seen them.
I have NEVER been a believer in UFO's nor the paranormal, but one thing is clear, certain and for sure, what I witnessed both times was NOT a shooting star, they were not regular aircrafts and nothing about them was "normal" by any means. This time I called my wife, whom was in bed sleeping, to tell her because I simply could NOT wrap my mind around what I saw. Now I am not an expert, I am not an astronomer nor anything else in the related field, but this my friends was NOTHING from earth nor was it the standard meteor-type incident.
This was certainly paranomal!.

Two diamond shaped objects over 84 Southington While merging onto 84 east from Cheshire into Southington, my daughter and I saw two diamond shaped objects hovering above the highway. One of the objects was higher in the air while one was closer to the ground. The two objects were a light golden color that pulsed every 2-3 seconds.
My daughter saw one of the objects change to red in color. The event happened very quickly as I stated earlier I was entering the highway and exited at the first exit there after. I did see several other planes in the air at least one seemed to be a small passenger plane.

After fireworks display, many people including ourselves saw very fast moving objects one after the other moving west to east. Speed verified to be too fast for hot air balloons by retired Sikorsky Aircraft engineer. This man was extremely bothered by the unexplained objects.
Yellow-orange flame like light however very large for something moving so fast. They were below cloud cover at first but one after the other they elevated above the clouds. The whole episode lasted about ten or fifteen minutes.
As soon as one disappeared into the clouds the next came to follow it in thesame flight pattern. No sound very, very eerie.
Full Report Text:
A fireball-like object twice the size of a star appeared and moved north with great speed, followed by a flash of light. At the specified time, looking into the partially clouded sky to the north, and object about two to three times the size of a normal star appeared. Red in color, with a purplish haze encompassing it, it appeared almost on fire and streaked with remarkable speed to the north.
There was no noise, however moments later a flash from the north could be seen reflected off the clouds. The flash may have been a coincidental lightning flash - however, after remaining watching the north for some minutes, no other flashes occurred. It also could not have been a shooting star, as it was sighted with clouds behind it.
The observer, myself, is a 22 year old male with 20/20 vision, no history of mental illness, no physical illness, well-rested, not taking any medications, and not under the influence of any drug(s).

Floating thing Came from off campus class with classmate. Was dropping him off when I said look at that. We looked at each other like, "do you see that?".
It was night time so I stepped out of my car so there was no obstruction, not even the window. This saucer shaped thing was hovering slowly and moving slightly side to side for about two minutes. It was a dull shine, not like the stars or the moon.
I looked much bigger than a star and was also closer than stars. Went to tell someone else and of course it was gone. I told the security gaurd we saw something weird.
He said that thing in the sky, I know, I saw it too. Very strange, just glad I wasn't the only one to see it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

Connecticut Siting - Daylight - 2 Silver and Black Saucers - Separated but moving as if they were one. At the time of this siting, I had just quit my job at a small anodizing factory. At Noon I punched out my time card and just walked out.
I walked East for approximately one quarter mile. This area was a commercial area of the town. High traffic area.
The sky was absolutely clear and not a cloud to be seen. I noticed a flash approximately 150 to 200 feet in altitude. My first thought was that this was simply a plane and I glanced up.
I saw two saucer shaped objects. They were about 50 feet apart from each other. The objects were silver colored on the top half and black on the bottom.
The saucers had no lights, no windows, emmited no sounds, and were seamless. As I watched for a few minutes, the objects were hovering and moving in unison. It was as if they were acting as one, maneuvering in exactly the same way.
I estimate the diameter of each object to be perhaps 50 feet or so. As I watched I was under the impression that I was also being observed. It was lunch time and this being a high traffic area, I was amazed that no vehicles were seeing this event, so I tried to stop traffic as I pointed up to the two saucers.
during this time the objects were ascending and descending slowly as they moved from side to side, circling. They had a slight wobble and were not spinning. I decided to try desparate measures to get someone else to see this, so I was about to step out into the oncoming traffic, and at that moment I watched the objects take to space at a tremendous speed.
Since I had no other witnesses I have never made this public until now. I have had other sitings but never quite the same as this in broad daylight. ((NUFORC Note: Very nice illustrations of two saucer shaped objects accompanied report.
PD)).
