Orbiting UFO spotted near rainbow Shortly before 7 pm on 3/27, my boyfriend and I went onto our balcony to take video and photos of a massive double rainbow that appears almost exactly in the same spot each time we have significant rainfall. While standing on our balcony, almost at the exact same time, we both recognize an airplane, seemingly flying through or next to the rainbow on the left-hand side. And then, above that, also to the left of the rainbow, we noticed something in the sky that we could not identify.
I immediately began trying to capture the image on video, but because of how far away it was and how old my phone is (iPhone XR), anytime I got close enough to the unidentified object the video would become unfocused, and I would have to zoom back out and try to find the object again. What we noticed was that it appeared two round or possibly square pieces were connected and seemed to be orbiting each other. I was able to catch some of that on video and I will attach that here.
We considered the possibility that it was two balloons stuck together, rotating around each other across the sky, but we couldn’t say for sure, and couldn’t shake the feeling of not being able to identify what we had just seen. In just a couple of minutes, the object shifted across the sky from incredibly far away on the horizon, to much closer until it moved behind our building, and we were unable to see the object anymore. We stayed outside for some time, trying to understand what we captured or see it again, but all we saw after that were easily identifiable as planes.

I saw a stationary orb of flashing lights in the sky surrounded by an aura-like electric looking mist At around 9:20pm on Friday, February 16th, 2024, I was out walking my dog up the hill of Dann Drive in Stamford, CT when I spotted a bright light in the sky to the west, which was completely stationary. It was a cold and clear night, many stars were visible and this was noticeably larger and closer than any star. It blinked multicolored lights (I think blue and red and maybe one other color) like an airplane so I thought that it likely was, until I stopped to stare at it in reference to the trees below it.
I realized it wasn’t moving - it was completely still except for a hazy, mist-like aura that surrounded it that seemed to be flashing with an electric charge. I couldn’t make out a shape of a craft if there was one - it was a little too far and all I could make out were what I think were three flashing lights and the electric aura. I fixed my eyes on it as I walked my dog further up the street, only 3 houses away from mine, feeling in my bones that I was witnessing something not of this world.
The feeling that overcame me was complete awe and amazement because I had never seen anything like it before. Not more than a minute and a half after the first sight of it, I took my eyes away and looked further up the street in front of the next house and quickly noticed a dark figure standing in the yard near the street and immediately feel like I’m being watched and it terrifies me. My knees literally started shaking and I dragged my dog to run back home and get inside.
I believe he had seen the figure too, because his eyes were fixated on something as I was trying to drag him away. It might’ve been someone out walking their dog, but whatever it was spooked the hell out of me and I felt an instinctual need to run away from it. Regardless, I wish I had more time to witness the phenomenon in the sky for longer, but the whole ordeal lasted about 3 minutes.
For as long as I saw it, the uap remained in the same position and elevation in the sky. I didn’t have my phone on me the entire time but when I went inside, I immediately texted my partner exactly what I saw and how terrified I was. About 8 minutes after I first noticed the uap, I heard and saw a helicopter circling the area, which seemed to confirm my suspicion that something strange might be happening.
I investigated further to see if there had been any other uap sightings in the area and I came across this database. The two most recent submissions from CT were from two days ago and they detail the exact same thing that I saw in the sky, and the videos confirmed it. I had to report my account too, in hopes it can contribute to research and/or discoveries of any kind.
I don’t know how long it was in the sky for, but it remained while the helicopters were around, but it was shrouded in what looked like a tiny gray cloud when I looked out my window to see if it was still there about an hour later. An hour after that, it was completely gone. I am not a UFO expert by but I am deeply invested and interested in UFO discourse and disclosure by the government.
I look to the skies in hopes of seeing something extraterrestrial every day! I finally had my first experience and I had to share it.

I was in my backyard, my partner and I were stargazing, when I noticed a far off floating star-like light. We watched it fly South West to East. It flew above us and circled us approaching closer, enough for us to see its shape.
We did not see metal, we saw light and it circled and right above us it gave us a golden glow, and then it flew away quickly disappearing. There was no wind, no sound, and it was other wordly quick. Watching it fly away, we noticed an odd-looking constellation.
Upon closer observation, it appeared to be either a cluster of U.F.O', a Mothership, or some other huge robotic looking structure in the sky.

I had been admiring an orange moon out my balcony window, when I noticed something floating and tumbling in the sky. At first I thought it was a runaway kite or balloon, until I noticed there was a duplicate shape alongside it. They seemed to have a reflective surface on them where only the outer edges could be seen.
They would fly normally for a few seconds and then they would fly in a tumbling motion. I grabbed my binoculars and when I looked at them they had very bright, but blurry white lights around them. However, when I looked up at them without the binoculars they didn’t seem to have the same bright lights at all, just enough reflection to see their shape.
If I had to guess their altitude, I would say 3500-5000ft. and a few hundred feet apart from each other. But I could be wrong since I didn’t know what I was looking at or what their relative size was.
I’m an avid planes potter and usually watch planes through my binoculars. Planes that leave JFK or Newark are usually at 10,000-13,000ft. Incoming planes to White Plains airport, are usually 1800-2500ft, but much smaller jets.
These UFO’s were in the same sky where I watch all the planes pass by, however according to my planefinder app, there were no planes over my place when I saw these objects. They made no noise and flew out of sight within 30 seconds, which makes me believe they were small. A regular jet, on a clear night, would stay in sight for a few mins.

4 Objects over CT, April 30th Sightings started at 9pm EST. All crafts were moving in a south (from the direction of Long Island) to north direction. 1st craft was in a trapezium was moving at an intense speed.
It almost appeared as a retreat from something. The 2nd craft appeared about 9:07pm EST and had 3 lights in the shape of a perfect triangle. This craft moved slower than the previous one, but still moving quickly.
The 3rd craft appeared about 9:19pm EST. It was a single light moving extremely slowly. For some reason this one gave me a bad feeling.
The 4th craft was moving at a moderately fast speed. It appeared to be 3 circular lights forming a triangle, but they were very close together. Are there any other witnesses??.
Full Report Text:
Orbs of bright light traveling tightly in formation over LI Sound. My husband called as he was approaching home to tell me to come outside with two of our children to take a look at some strange, bright lights that he observed over our area. We live on the Long Island sound in an area called Westcot Cove.
A short walk down to the beach area, we can see clear across to Long Island. These lights were orb shaped and very bright. My husband initially stated that he saw about 5 at first hovering over the area at a seemingly low altitude.
By the time we ran out and approached the beach, we saw about 3. They traveled very tightly together and made no noise, came down a bit lower over the sound and headed towards Long Island seemingly side by side. Once over Long Island, they just hovered very brightly.
One of the lights eventually dimmed and went out as did another. One remained bright the entire time. I started to think maybe they were helicopters but the brightness of the lights and the way they moved so closely together confused us all quite a bit.
Even when they moved away from us towards LI, they just seemed like balls of light. Light all around. We wound up leaving as the one remained and continued to hover around.
Maybe someone will post what it was by morning. Also, a dog in the area along the sound starting making a god awful howl while we were observing this.
