Egg shaped object flying over Tolland to then disappear. On the night of april 22, 2018, my girlfriend, my friend ((male name deleted)), and I, were pulling out of my driveway to bring my girlfriend home when a large oval/egg shaped object that was a white with a green kind of glow to it flew passed my vehicle, and then after about 10 to 15 seconds, it’s like the lights went out and it was gone with no track of it moving in a different direction or altitude. As we got to the top of my street, which peaks the top of a mountain, we looked around all directions and it was nowhere to be found.
Thinking it was just a plane, but if it was, we could easily still see it from the peak of the hill. At that point we all couldn’t believe what we saw, but we know for sure by the way it was flying and how it just disappeared it was not something of this planet. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be eloquent, and serious-minded.
PD)).

Motionless Orange light in the sky, moved quickly away as we approached. Prior to March 17, 2017, I treated UFO reports as simply more sensationalist seeking hogwash. I still don’t know what the object was, can’t even explicitly define it as a UFO, but what I and my wife saw that night while driving in Tolland, CT, 12:45 AM was very strange.
Orange light motionless in the sky. We watched it for a while as we tried to determine if it was a planet or an airplane heading to Bradley airport. We dismissed the plane theory because it was not moving.
Dismissed the planet theory because it was too big. At one point my wife said it’s a house on top of the mountain, to which I responded there is no mountain in Connecticut that high. I made a left turn to go up a hill to get a better look.
As the car rounded the corner at the top of the hill we saw the orange glow like a huge sodium lamp in the sky. I stopped the car and that’s when the bizarre behavior began. The previously stationary light moved quickly to the right, faster than a helicopter or any other aircraft, but slower than a meteorite, made sweeping left turn and disappeared behind the trees.
There was no sound, I had opened the car window. I took a picture of my location with my cell phone but when I checked the picture, the GPS coordinates were not recorded. Weird and frightening.
My wife can verify. We were not drinking, neither of us do drugs, and we were not dreaming.

Strange object in the sky following a plane. Around 6:20pm on Tuesday October 16, 2012. I was walking through this truck yard in Tolland CT.
When I noticed this plane flying real low towards me in a SE direction. After seeing this plane flying towards me I noticed this other object move towards south direction it then stopped dead in the air. That’s when I pulled out my iphone and started recording this video http: //youtu.
be/nyV_-5Y42qg. Right after I started recording this it was as if the plane had noticed it and took a hard right. When the plane made that turn that object started to follow behind it till it caught up to it.
Then the object proceeded to fly circles around it as if it was curious of what the plan was. After a couple of circles around the plan the object flew off at a very high rate of speed. When I was in the yard I was facing North NW, the plane was flying straight towards me and the object that was in the sky chased it was coming from the south.

A large bright white light with spikes of light shooting out and then retracting . A large bright white light with spikes of light shooting out and then retracting has been appearing nightly for over a month. We assumed it was a star or planet.
Last night we watched it move to the right faster than a star would move. Then it moved back to the original position. Then it moved towards us and then it moved far away backwards at speed even planes cannot move.
Then back towards us. Then it stopped moving. We have no idea what it is now, but someone should look at it and explain it.
Our elevation is 700 ft., +41° 50' 24.26", -72° 22' 31.
59" (41.840073, -72.375441), and we have a large view of the sky.
It looked like there were briefly some blue rays of light at one point but I am not sure of that.I am sure there is a good explanation, it would be really nice to know since I see it through my window while I'm in bed. I did take photos of it with my Iphone.
when you enlarge photo two other lights appear next to it one on each side.

2 red blinking orbs. 2 red blinking orbs flying at a steady high speed approximetly 1 mile appart from each other. They where completly silent and I could not tell the shape of the objects.
One of them stoped blinking completly for about 4 seconds,then started blinking again. About 10-12 seconds after these objects dissapeared from my view i could hear the sounds of a loud jet but could not locate it. These objects appeared to be exactly the same as one another and where deffinetly not conventional aircraft.

The triangular thing was slowly gliding just above the tree, (about 3 stories high) during the summer of 1984. It also was the size of a football field, the thing was huge and silent. Just glided silently.
Just as I was about to tell others about the sight, the tail lights (along the back edge) turned off. And it blocked out the night sky. This is not the only sighting I have seen.
