Military aircraft is ruled out as I live near drills, as they fly over my home every night, no engine noise detected nor flashing hazards per aircraft of any kind. This was something I’ve never seen in my entire life.

Was driving southwest on Pequot Trail approaching intersection of Farmholm Road and was distracted by a very bright greenish yellow light off to my right/front (N) of the vehicle. Object was fast moving, heading in a downward trajectory as if to hit the ground. Object appeared to have a round shape behind the light, which was in silhouette.

The object I observed was not unlike stars in the night sky in regards to appearance; it was however brighter than any star I observed (although not my much), and it was also larger than any star seen that night (again, not by much). The difference was that this “star” was moving and continued to do so for over 30 minutes during which time I observed several aircraft that were easily distinguishable as such and appeared to be much closer to the earth than the “UFO”. The movement of the object was very much like an insect on a wall.

It trailed around the sky, sometimes making loops; it had no apparent direction and it stayed in the same general area of the sky. The movements were slow but also jerky or even twitchy as if it were repeatedly speeding up and slowing down. The color maintained a constant white light and the shape and size remained consistent; it emitted no sound.

The sighting was observed around 1am at beach in southeastern Connecticut; there was a clear sky and not much distraction. It perhaps stayed for longer than the 30 or more minutes that I observed it. However, I left the area.

Line of lights in the sky near midnight over Mystic/Stonington, CT. Upon arrival home about 23:45 on 9/6/2015, I exited the car and glanced up into the sky. A line of lights was approaching me in the sky from approximately west.

At first I thought they were stars but they were so bright I looked again. The were bright amber, non-flashing and moving in single file towards me, about eight to ten or more in number. They did not appear to be high like an jetliner at 20,000 feet but not more than about three to five thousand feet.

They snaked a little back and forth single file across the sky towards me. I grabbed my phone and tried to get a movie of it, but the movie quality is not nearly as sharp and clear as they were. They did not blink like aircraft.

I ran into the house and woke my wife to come out and see them. She arrived outside to see the last few file past us overhead. They had not made a sound up to this point but soon we heard a plane and she assumed that was them and went back to bed.

I watched a little longer and the plane sound got louder and a plane appeared approaching from the south. It had different colored flashing lights on its wing tips and was clearly the source of the plane sound. It disappeared in the direction the strange lights had left, approximately north and east.

I have checked the video and only got about thirty seconds of the light show. The quality is very poor, but you can see a few of them on the screen. They were much brighter amber to the naked eye.

2:36am in Stonington, Ct there was a bar of light in the upper right sky about the sz of an inch, it tilted to right, then sped away This morning, August 11th, 2010, at about 2:36 am, I was driving home from Foxwoods casino, as I had passed our local movie theater a ways (regal cinema in Stonington,Ct), I suddenly saw a bar of light to my upper right in the night sky. It was white light like a bunch of stars linked together to form a line about an inch wide from my perspective. And it tilted down to the right a bit.

I was thinking how it couldn’t be a plane or anything like that because those are usually one dot and slowly moving. This was like if an edge of a coin were lit up in a line and it wasn’t really moving. Then it slowly tilted with purpose (again this was strange to me because if it were a man made prop or something far away the effort to so even would be quite difficult) like when you weigh something with those doctor scales and you get the lead weight right it kind of has this slow settling into place as it gets its balance.

Like that. It tilted in that ‘gaining balance’ way for another 20 degrees tilting down on the right side. Suddenly it looked like it was moving forward away from me for a moment and then I got this sense of a burst of incredible speed because the lights became smaller so quick they practically winked out they were gone so fast.

I was not tired. I was not drunk. I have never made such a claim before.

I saw my first UFO. I have no idea what it was alien, military, or otherwise but Unidentified Flying Object. Oh yes.

Bright sparkle in the north eastern sky that hovered and went below the treeline into the horizon I awoke about 3 a.m., January 24, 2008.

Lying down I was staring out the window. The window faces north; at about 1:00 in the eastern sky I saw a bright twinkling light. It reminded me of a distant fire fly.

I assumed it was a plane, but it did not move to the east, or west, nor did it come toward my home. From this distance it appeared stationary. I realized it was probably not a plane because there was no flashing light, nor did I see green or red light as you usually do when you see a plane pass by.

As I watched, it slowly disappeared below the tree line in the north eastern sky. I didn’t think it could be a plane then, because the direction was going away from me. I assume then, that I was not looking at tail lights at that brightness and sparkle.

The background was a tree lined hill and pastures. There are no suburban neighborhoods in that direction.

Orange and white light spheres in the woods This event occured during the summer at my parents house in Stonington CT. I was outside one night smoking a cigarette and I noticed two orangeish / dark yellow lights, maybe 100-150 yards away, traveling together from left to right through the neighboring woods. One was slightly higher than the other, but both were relatively close to the ground around 8-10 feet or so, and the shapes were spheres.

From where I was the lights looked like the size to that of a cd. They had a constant steady rate of speed which I would say was about 5 mph but did not illuminate the trees / wooded area where the lights were. They were just there and nothing else was lit up in the woods.

I spotted the lights in the woods a couple other nights that week, except they were across the yard in a different locations, or were spread out- it was like the lights were there, and then they were gone. Each time I saw the lights it lasted about 5-10 seconds and then they were gone. I did not see any other shapes than that of light spheres.

I thought it was strange, and told my parents. They did not believe me, but the whole thing was spooky. A few weeks later it was late at night, around midnight, and I was watching tv.

A very very bright white light the shape of a sphere and about the size of a tennis ball passed by in front of the window and was gone. This was different from the other lights I saw as they were orangeish, and this was a very bright light and scared the hell out of me. The room where the tv is on the backside of the house that faces the woods.

I had the feeling that it was watching me as it went by. Curious if anyone else has seen orange & white moving lights like this in the area. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.
