Full Report Text:
Looked like a spotlight but mot attaches to anything. It looked like a search light from a helicopter. It was bright white.
It was near the highway, maybe 150-200 feet in the air. I thought it was a helicopter at first but it did nor have any navigation lights. It also was not moving at anytime we saw it.
It was not pointed in a general direction, there was no structures underneath it. I have no idea what it was.
Full Report Text:
It did not look like any airplane or helicopter or any other type of aircraft I have ever seen. I was in my backyard, sitting in my swing just watching two morning doves in the electrical line when the object moved across the sky, heading west. When I watched it, I noted how odd it moved, like it was floating, pausing but still moving.
I never heard a sound the entire time. I noted the shape was angled, tilted a bit and triangle shaped if turned. It was a goldish color.
I got my camera and zoomed in all the way. My camera does not do too well with clarity, zoomed in and when it is getting dark but it is still viewable in the picture. It started to move faster, and in the same tilt then disappeared.
But not really, just took off and I no longer could see it and the entire viewing was only a few short minutes. This is the first time viewing an object like this. The way it moved, shaped and that it was completely silent with no trail at all.

Triangular shape no noise On the night of December 20th between 7:35 and 7:40 pm, I was walking my dog and happened to look up towards the west and see movement. I thought it it was a shooting star or possibly a meteor shower. I had seen a shooting star two nights prior.
I tried to focus to see if there were more when saw what appeared to be an outline of a black triangular or wing shaped object moving silently overhead. I thought it may be a flock of birds, but it made no sound was moving faster than flocks of birds that I had seen during daytime and the shape appeared to be steady. The sighting only lasted about 5 seconds.
I lost the object when it flew towards some clouds. The conditions were partly cloudy with some illumination from the moon. Per intellicast the weather conditions were 33 degrees wind chill 25 visibility 10 miles and ceiling of around 5000.
Per my phone compass, the shape moved west to east. From my perspective looking up, the “wingspan” was about 9 inches. The shape was below the clouds.

Red sphere in the sky. One bright red sphere came across the sky over my house and then disappeared between the trees. What was it? ((NUFORC Note: Witness provides defective contact information.
PD)) ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) The light travelled from west to east. It was the size of a street light moving slowly. It went directly over my house.
I had time to go from one room to another on the other side to see it again. ((END ADDENDUM)).

Large green, illuminated light flew right in front of our car, reaching as low as 100 ft. Early Sunday 9/20/09 at around 12:50 AM, my boyfriend & I were driving down S Frontage Rd in Vernon, CT & began to slow down for the 4 way intersection with Bolton Rd. We were heading back to Boston after visting my hometown for the day.
At that time, we saw a white, greenish light moving in front of us at a speed we have never seen in our lives. It began up to our left & was shooting to over to our right. It flew right in front of the car.
It was really bright and moving in a downward motion very fast. My boyfriend estimates at least 1,000 mph, I couldn't even guess how fast, in my 26 years it was the fastest thing I've ever seen move by far. It flew over us within a matter of 3 seconds.
It probably started at 500 ft high and when we lost sight it was down to 75-100 ft. It looked as though it was going to crash into the woods nearby, but the trees to our right prevented us from seeing anything further. We decided to go straight onto the highway instead of t! aking a right to follow its direction – it was scary.
I don’t know how anything moving that fast in a downwards motion could not have possibly crashed. It would have caused major damage, it was probably the size of a car. I kept looking back at the woods to see if something had crashed, but I saw no indication, it was completely dark.
It was by far the most unexplainable thing I have ever seen in my life. We didn't hear any noise come from it at all. If it was an aircraft flying that close to our car, you can bet it would have been very loud.
For the few seconds I had my eyes glued to it, the best comparison I can think of - remember Homer Simpson's radiation bar that bounced around during the Simpson's intro? It had the similar shape, though we think the UFO was a little rounder. It had a whitish/light green color and a bright illumination like I've never seen. I wish I could find someone else who saw the same thing.
With the direction it came in, it flew right over a high! way overpass so I feel like someone else had to have seen it, ! however there were no other cars on the back roads I was traveling, it was a very quiet night out there.

3 bright lights in the shape of a Triangle I was on my balcony watching the last rays of the sun set when i noticed some bright white lights in the distance. On my balcony you can see planes approaching Bradley Airport in Hartford, Ct. I paid no attention to them at first assuming they were a plane when i noticed that there were no flashing indicator lights, just three bright lights in the shape of a triangle.
I continued to watch as i called my girlfriend from inside to come see but by the time she came out the lights had proceeded to fly over my building slowly and gracefully until i could no longer see it past my rooftop. It was shaped like a triangle with bright lights at each point. I could hear a low rumbling that got slightly louder as it flew over my building.
I could not see anything in between the lights just black, the stars were out and you could not see them between the lights, It appeared very high up and appeared no larger than your tip would look at the and of your arm fully stretched out it also did not follow any of the flight paths that the approaching/departing planes would take.
