Glowing orb which suddenly vanished. I looked out of my glass deck door and saw a glowing light which looked odd and not like an airplane. It looked orange and white.
I ran to my room to grab my phone and caught it on video for a few and then it disappeared. I also saw aircraft activity near it but this did not resemble an airplane or helicopter. The encounter laster about a minute or so after I saw it but it could've been there longer.
I also have been noticing other glowing strange lights lately plus extra airplane activity and saw another white round glowing light last week but it was moving slowly. My and my girlfriend both saw the one last week but the one tonight I saw alone. This one looked lower to the ground and closer.
I also noticed my outside flood light which hasn't worked in 2 years flicker for about 2 hours a week ago which I found strange.

Several round orbs of light flying silent 1 after another right above the tree line I heard fireworks going off in the distance while on the phone in my driveway about to leave when 2 round bright orbs started to come over the trees so I grabbed my other phone to record as I thought there where no more 2 appeared from the same path following each other then another followed as another followed then stopped. I then left to follow them as I pulled down the street and took a left on jog hill rd 2 more following each other in the same path as the others so I quickly recorded them as they pasted over the trees I turned downed Daniel's farm rd I witnessed a cop car stopped in front of the Trumbull high school farm witnessing the same balls of light I saw. I tried to follow them but they began to quickly sped up and took off in the distance headed south it looked like toward Bridgeport, CT.
I was in shock with my girlfriend on the phone the whole time giving her a play by play. I took videos and still shots. Definitely where no Chinese candle things in a bag as ppl tried to say it was from my videos because these balls of light where intelligent and moving at different speeds.
I know I couldn't have been the only person to see this. Some ppl that night may have brushed it off as fireworks but these where no fireworks or plane or helicopter. Not to long after I witnessed 2 helicopters flying low and fast.
Maybe government idk.

As I looked in the sky being a very clear night looking for shooting stars, next to the big dipper I see what appears to be a star but after watching it move across the sky away from the dipper at a steady pace and I watched it just disappear in the night sky. It was really high no planes fly that high plus it was stationary when I 1st witnessed it. I never witnessed something so amazing.
Soon after towards the left of me I see a shooting star fly across the opposite side which I thought was crazy since I looked up to see if I would see 1 out of the blue and bam there that was. I don't know what else it could be but a UFO. Really cool to see.
Bright and lite up all around. White light.

Grid of lights moving slowly out of formation At Approximately 12:05am March 24th I was traveling southbound on Route 25 in CT. While looking in the easterly direction I saw what appeared to be 11-12 red lights in the sky. They were patterned in floating grid 3 across and 4 down somewhat equally spaced.
The lights were moving slowly towards one another and floating in what looked to be an intended pattern. Originally it looked as though they were forming a constellation, but they never seemed to form one for indefinite period of time. I pulled over to take a video and slowly they began to disappear.
Whether they merged into fewer lights, I am not sure but it did happen before I turned away with a couple of the lights. When I finally got to a point where a video was possible there was only one light left.

Unusual speed.

Lights on a strange cigar object. Hello Mr. Davenport.
I know of your work and other Ufologists, I have seen you and others on TV. My sighting tonight was something that seemed so strange, I feel like I should share it with others and an expert in Ufology like yourself for I never have seen a UFO sighting. This evening I was outside with a neighbor whittling wood for this is a hobby of ours and many like us.
I looked over to see my friend in a awe looking in the sky. I was startled by his facial expression, it was as if he looking on the the destruction of Gomorrah. I looked in the direction in the sky my friend was looking and there at the crest of the hill a cigar shaped craft, with strange holes (circle windows maybe, or lights?).
It was a few hundred yards in the air to my best guess, and about a half a mile away. I turn my to see my neighbor was gone, he was sprinting to his home yelling to me he wanted to get his camera phone. I watched the craft as it descended further away and higher! in the sky.
Two minutes or so had passed my neighbor returned to only find that the craft disappeared to the heavens. I want to share this experience I had with people who will understand and not look upon me as a leper. Lets face it the government wants us to adopt the idea that UFOs are fiction.
We have been ravaged my lies and immorality. Our government needs to understand that we the people know that UFOs are controlled by intelligent beings like us are more superior. This craft that I saw was far more advanced than anything I have ever seen or read about.
Thank you Mr. Davenport for your work in Ufology, and thank you for your time. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Strange Triangle Craft Jrod (the nickname of my partner) and I were coming out of the local Home Depot, after purchasing some dry core sub flooring for his basement. We decided to grab a slice of pie and a soda pop at the food stand stationed outside in the parking lot. After grabbing our little mid evening snack, we proceeded to walk back to the truck to head back to the job site.
As we were walking towards my truck, Jrod noticed a strange craft in the sky northwest of us. At first, I was convinced that the craft was a chopper, but soon realized that its movements were too "smooth" and that it was the shape of a triangle. At this point, Jrod became a bit frightened and wanted to go.
I, on the other hand, was completely fascinated and took a few more moments to study the strange craft. It was NOT moving at a high velocity and was moving in a very "smooth" motion. There was no noticeable sound and it seemed to act as though it was searching for something.
The only other relevant in! formation I can provided is that Sikorsky Aircraft is only located 10 miles away. Maybe this craft was one of there toys.I just don't know since I have no education in the subject of Ufology.
Whatever this craft was, it definitely made a mark on me. Jrod will not talk about what we saw so I have nowhere else to go to speak about this incident. I don't want to tell other people in my life for fear of being labeled, excuse my french, a "wack ass".
I think that this is also why Jrod would rather just forget about the whole incident.

From my viewpoint near the west end of Whitney Ave. Trumbull I saw a greenish fireball traverse low in the sky traveling west. It appeared higher than treetop level against the sky and it lasted 2 to 3 seconds.
I am not sure if this was some sort of pyrotechnic or really something more astral in nature. There was no sounds Just wondering if there were additional sightings.

huge elongated dic with red/green flashing lights hovered over school field for over 20 minutes, appeared as though it might land. On 4-30-08, at 9 p.m.
, I took my dog out for a brief walk, and as I turned the corner to re-enter the house, I noticed an enormous elongated disc with red and green flashing lights all over it hovering over the field directly next to my house. It did not make any discernible sound. I watched it for approx.
10 mins., then put the dog into the house, and phoned the police non-emerg. #, to ask if anyone had reported something strange over Trumbull high school athletic field.
The officer who answered asked "Do you mean Madison School? Yes, people have reported seeing something over Madison." I said no, Trumbull High School. The officer then asked "Does it look like it's trying to land?" I said no, I had watched it for the past 10 minutes, and it was just hovering in place, making no sound.
He said they had recv'd. a number of calls, and for me to tell him if it looked like it was going to land. I phoned two neighbors, who went out and called me back, telling me that they saw it, too.
I went back outside, and continued to watch it for another 10-12 minutes. It hovered in the same spot, mostly, then once it raised and lowered slightly, and once it turned to the side. After it turned to the side, it began to move toward the Agricultural Science school and the animal pasture outside the school, descending as it moved.
It looked as though it might actually land over in that direction. I watched it reach treetop level, then I rushed back in to call the police again on the non-emerg. #, telling them that it looked like it might try to land.
I went back outside, and it was gone completely, nowhere in sight. I phoned the police the following morning to see if they had determined what it was, and the woman officer who answered the call said "No, but we filed an offical police report, based on what we saw." I asked her if the police had seen it, and she said yes.
I spoke to a reporter from the local paper, who wrote an article about it, and he found out from the police that they had received a call earlier that night of 4-30-08 that an "Anonymous caller on 911 reports massive spacecraft landing." That caller was referring to Madison School, not Trumbull High School, which is where I saw it. The two schools are miles apart.
The reporter confirmed that there were no outdoor activities at the schools that night, no science clubs flying kites or anything. When the reporter asked the police if they had seen it, they denied that they had. What I saw was as large as a house, and was only a few hundred ft.
off the ground when it was hovering for over 20 minutes.

very large elongated disc-shape with flashing red/green lights. hovering, made no sound, saw for 20 minutes. I was outside with my dog on 4-30-08 at 9p.
m., when I turned the corner outside my house and noticed a VERY LARGE craft hovering a few hundred ft. over the high school athletic field adjacent to my house.
It was silent, it did not make any sound whatsoever. It was a very large, elongated disc-shape, with flashing red and green lights all over it. The body of it seemed to glow from within ever so slightly.
I watched it hover for approx. 10 mins, after which time I came into the house and called the police non-emerg. number, to ask if anyone had reported seeing such a thing.
The officer asked "do you mean over Madison school?" I replied no, over Trumbull High and Hillcrest schools. Evidently, someone had seen something earlier over Madison School. The officer asked me if it looked like it was trying to land, and I said no, it was just hovering.
I also called 2 family members who live in other parts of towm to see if they could see anything, none of whom did. I went back outside to continue viewing, and the object was still there, hovering and occassionally ascending and descending slightly, as well as turning slowly from side-to-side. I went in to call a neighbor, and both of them called me back saying that they also saw it.
I went back outside and continued to watch it, I watched it for about 20 minutes overall. It then started to descend more, wavering somewhat from side-to-side as it came down. It got to the treetop level over in the direction of the Vocational Agricultural School, and I ran back into the house to phone the police to tell them it seemed to be coming down, and when I ran back outside it was gone from sight.
I phoned the police this morning, to ask if they had determined what it was, and they said that no, they did not, but they filed an official police report, based on what they saw. Evidently, some police personnel had also seen it.

Brown rolling cylinder w/o sound nor light that seemed to have paddle-wings or changed shape as it proceed. The backgound - a clear evening, sun just setting. Object seen directly overhead.
Traveling in straight line. Speed seemed paced as if musing. Brown, cylindrical shape no lights or obvious features, except it seemed very large, larger than normal aircraft.
Altitude apprx. 800 ft. Viewed at first as an aircraft in a barrel-roll, because it spun as a stunt pilot would.
As the object proceeded, the view was no longer overhead but from behind, as it left almost straight away. The observation from here presented wonder for how long a pilot could continue such roll, as it was continuous and without falter from its course. Then when far enough away the observation was astonishing.
The view of a rolling plane from behind would show its wings on end, becoming mere lines to the eye's perspective, yet this view showed a continuous and slow roll with large flat oval-shaped wings very visible from behind, [or the object was shifting in form from round to oval and back, which is where the mind and the eyes refused to agree.] Not until after it went beyond the tree line did observer realize that it was not a conventional aircraft.

The craft object that I witnessed was very strange that had translucent like energy moving through it. While driving in the car I witnessed a circular shaped craft the color was grayish silver. It looked like it had energy moving through it.
I had only looked at it for about half a minute then it started moving really quick and was going in one direction and then I thought it had changed and shifted in another and was one really fast.
