Dark object high in sky remained motionless. While watering flowers in the evening, I saw an object high in the sky which was motionless. The object was black and did not seem to Rachel advertise the sky as a plane would.
I was able to get out my phone and tak. e many pictures before the object disappeared. Upon scrutinizing the photos later it seems that it was not an object but a hole in the sky which constantly changed shape.

Witnesed 2 star like objects slowly move across the night sky then dissappear I was out walking my dog and happened to look straight up at the clear night sky and witnessed 2 white star-like objects moving slowy toward the ESE. The best way to describe these is that they resembled two large stars the size and brightness of Venus. After about 2 minutes the first object suddenly dimmed out and disappeared, followed 10 seconds later by the 2nd object dimming out and vanishing as well.

In Stratford, facing west. Sky cloudless, no wind. About 30 degrees above horizon a fast skimming yellow fireball that traveled about 20 degrees from south to north by northwest on a straight path above horizon line.
Have previously observed various meteors/bolides, but this object was nothing like them: No trail or scattering of light; was a discrete yellow glow resembling a teardrop shaped bulb inwardly lit. Streaked swiftly (no sound), with a slight declination to its path just before it simply went out - no fading. I would not ordinarily bother to clutter this website with what I considered a bolide or yet another firework/Chinese lantern misperception, but this seemed genuinely unusual.

Several orange lights moving in unison across the night sky. As I was opening a gate at a parking lot, I looked up and noticed perhaps 10 or 11 bright orange lights moving slowly across the sky. They moved across to a certain point and then each one appeared to just fade away gradually as they reached that certain point.
There was no noise at all and the whole event took no more than 5 minutes. I told my coworker about this event and he informed me he had seen the same phenomenon a couple of nights earlier!.

Saw a grey, triangular object with two lights hovering in the sky. I was driving home from my girlfriend’s house and saw two lights low in the sky. I thought that it was either a plan landing at the local airport or a large helicopter, such as a Black Hawk, from Sikorsky.
However, as I turned down a street it seemed to change direction with me. I figured it wasn’t a plane then, so I rolled down my windows to hear if it was a helicopter. Not a sound.
I thought it might be a blimp then, but as I turned down another road it changed directions with me again. It came from my left side and hovered directly above me as I was driving no more than 200ft. I had a clear view of this unknown object.
It was grey and triangular with the two lights on two points of the triangle. Trying to focus on the road I looked down and when I looked back up it was gone without a sound. I couldn’t find any trace of it in the sky.
When I arrived home shortly after, I got out of my car and tried finding any moving object in the sky, but no such luck. If only I had gotten out of the car and taken a picture!.

At aprox. 10:40 I looked up in the sky noticing the amount of stars visible when I spotted a series of stars (UFO) starting to move South. The shape was somewhat of a diamond with 2 seperate lights following.
Reminded me of a kite. I called for my boyfriend and son (he's 8) to witness with me. The UFO was moving forward and also back and forth and left and right.
At one point it appeared to hover and move back and forth. While my son was watching with me we saw it turn around and then come back again. The type of turn reminds me of a wide turn in a car.
Last I seen of it it was traveling South moving closer to flying over my home. It was headed in the direction of Bridgeport Ct. There were airplanes flying and this object was higher in the air than the smaller aircraft flying.

I saw the object hurdle through the sky very swiftly. It was a bright, flaming orange and reddish color, and appeared to have a tail to it. It moved on a straight line but too quickly to be a plane.
There were two other visible aircraft in the sky at the time, and you could easily see their lights and airplane shape. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Driving to buy a car.on the highway about three miles before the exit for stratford. I looked to my left to see a disc that was like reflecting metal or a mirror in the sky.
Freaking out slightly I kept it in my head the sun was on the opposite side of the sky starting to set also round. But it sat there and riding down the highway the trees were passing in front of it. Then it was gone.
Scanning the sky rationalizing some type of weather anomaly I looked up and there it was. very close. Helicoptors were coming from all directions at it.
Then it disappeared. So at that point I lost it.my bf was driving telling me to calm down it was nothing.
I looked back and it was far back in the distance and there were helicoptors upwards of ten surrounding and coming in on it.then it was gone. Getting off the highway.
I was just contemplating all the thoughts of what it could be in my head. We arrived at the house to look at a used saab for me and we took a test drive. I was in the back seat.
We went down a long road and I saw this huge gated factory. I asked the woman what it was.she said sikorsky airport they manufactur helicoptor engines.
So there was my answer.reflection of a test helicoptor. Maybe some type of directional things in the sky for the testing of the helicoptors.
there was my answer. So we bought the car and left it there untill we obtained the paper work. we drove off in my bf rx7 and missed the highway we saw a small diner and the lights on and in the car were dimming so my bf backed into to look at the car.
looking out the front window I saw the biggest brightest circle/disc and it was close really close.and helicoptors were swarming it circling it and more and more were coming across the sky at it.then it was just gone.
blink of an eye.so now I am losing it.and the car is fine so we take off back in the direction we came.
Then it happened again the car was bucking lights going off everything. then it went dead. It was freezing.
I pressed my faced up against the window to see what looked like the same ufo (call it that now :) and I literally opened the door falling out from excitment.It was cold and the ground was frozen and muddy.I was just staring into this disc that looked like it was sitting on the tree tops.
no sound.helicoptors flew in all around it and they were coming from all directions the yard I was in went up a hill and it started to move very very slowly unlike before.I saw it move and the helicoptors moved with it.
all I could here was them and barking dogs.I couldn't see cause the street lights were out were we broke down.I ran looking up crying my eyes out from happiness disbelief some type of spiritual experinece.
idk but I ran as fast as possible in my heels sticking throught the ice and mudd and it went up over the hill and disappeared.I could still hear the helicoptors so it was still there.I was disappointed it was gone.
I turned around to walk back and in the sky far in the distance was 20 to 30 of the same disc/circles in what looked like a pattern sitting in the sky.but further away cause they were smaller.then they started blinking out or flying away (not visible to the eye) just gone.
they were all gone. The lights helicoptors everything. I am so a believer now.
it's not funny. I want to go back and sit around the same area to see if it is something that I can rationalize with that is common to us or something that is so unidentified openly and get the proof.if anyone would believe me.
You know I honestly told two people because I knew that everyone would think I was joking or losing it.
