The objects had a dark center, they were orange, they were in groups of two and three but some were singular in traveling while out walking the dog I spotted the first in a progression of objects, There was a baseball game going on in field across from my house and a game was taking place. It seemed as if the objects wanted to fly over but the bright lights caused them to detur to the east, they were lower than airplanes and they made no sound. I called my girlfriend and she came and witnessed it as well.
They were bright orange with a dark center and silent.

No sound. Hovered above neighbors house, then a straight line going ~300mph.looked like it was going slow but it moved fast.
My husband and I were outside on our back patio when I saw it hovering over the neighbors house in broad daylight. It looked like an orb with an arm on top (shaped like a Sunfish) maybe white/silver and red. It looked like it was surveying or taking pics.
It moved in a straight line, fast. It was about 3000-5000 ft in the air,.

Flashing red/white lights - whirring sound when lights were 'on'/visible - no sound when lights were "off"/not visible It was the sound of it that brought my husband and I outside. We looked in the sky from our front door and looked toward the dump/landfill and there appeared to be an airplane in the sky, but the sound was too loud for where the object was. It sounded as if it was directly over our home, but it was a few miles away.
The difference between the object and an actual plane is the lights blink quicker and never turn 'off'. The sound went "in and out" like really loud then lowered until there was no sound. In addition, the sound worked in tandem with the lights; as the lights brightened the sound grew louder and as the lights dimmed the sound grew quieter.
The object moved from left to right in the sky and moved in a linear motion. I was never able to see the craft itself, I only saw the lights. Finally, once the noise ceased and the lights were no longer visible, I couldn’t see the object anymore but suddenly there was an easily identifiable airplane to the direct left of where I was standing.
The sound never came back and I couldn’t see the object in the sky again. My husband and I witnessed this together. While my husband is skeptical that it was a “UFO”, he agrees it was an unusual experience.

Too Close for Comfort I was walking my dog about in the complex of where I live. As I am always looking up to the sky i noticed this very bright Oval looking light hovering very close. Too close to be a plane.
Too far to be a Drone. Just big enough and close enough that it was clearly visible. It was only 1 that I could see.
I know it wasn't a plane, for one passed it but below it with the blinking lights. a As I stood there looking up and I pointed like as to indicate I see you. After which it disappeared into the night clouds.

Leaving the restaurant walking up a slight hill to the car looking up to the moon partly cloudy with a large colorful halo a transparent round object crossed the halo darker then the halo slowly crossed over it from right to left. It was very distinctive even though it was see through.
I thought my husband was looking up and asked if he just saw that? Unfortunately he was not looking up at the time. There were no other objects in the sky such as aircraft at that moment, no lights on the UAP and no noise but I know what I saw. I didn't consume any alcoholic drinks while eating.

Two triangular craft 15 car lengths apart above the traffic lights moving along 84 East for a bit near Waterbury Above the traffic lights on 84 East leaving Waterbury, approximately 6 to 8 stories above the ground. Two small triangular crafts hovering in a forward trajectory faster than the car but not by much. The two craft had a distance of approximately 15 car lengths between them with the second adjusting course relative to the lead craft.
The craft were not helicopters but might have been some advanced large triangular drones of some kind. The craft were too low to be a plane in my opinion.

4 spirals made in one cloud, and 4 aircraft (UFO's) seen leaving the immediate area. Over the western skies of Waterbury, CT. I was traveling north on Rt 8, near western Waterbury, Ct.
I noticed 4 odd spirals coming out of one cloud in the sky. They looked like small tornadoes under the cloud, and one spiral traveling straight upwards into the sky. I started snapping pictures of the cloud while traveling the highway.
It wasn't until I looked at the photos later that I realized I caught something real in the photos. Four vessels can be seen in 1 of the photos taken. Their pitch (about a 65 degree angle) was definitely NOT from any plane flying.
It was a clear sunny day with only this one cloud in the sky. I have the photo but I don't know where to go to show anyone this photo. I seriously believe I captured UFO's in the skies over western Waterbury, CT, USA, at about 4pm eastern time.

Egg shaped object flying slow with no noise, and gained altitude until dissapeared. From our back porch was noticed an "egg" shaped object slowly flying in a straight path in a SSW direction. The object was traveling at a high altitude slower than an airliner.
The object was below a line of "rippled" clouds and ascended into this line cloud as it gained altitude. I took out my binoculars for a better view, and the object had a shiny type material as it could be seen with the sun hitting the object. The object the ascended into the cloud and disappeared as it did not come out of the other side of the cloud.
Also, after the objects disappearance, I noticed an airliner flying in a flight path that is not usually flown where I live. This airliner had its after burn exhaust on for a short time. I did not notice any course correction from this airliner.
The typical flight path where I live is in a NNE direction.

No moon was out. And two other planes could be seen but not going the same way, the lights on these planes were different color and flashing prior to the one before. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Last night October 8 at approximately 6:30pm I was watching the sunset as I sometimes do. I live in northern Waterbury atop the highest mountain with a beautiful view of the mountains and also surrounding towns. As I was looking out the window, I saw a large orange glowing object that almost resembled a lightning sphere, but without the jagged edges.
I've lived here for 13 years and have never seen anything in that area that would be light play or a reflection of any type. I called my 9 yr old son over to the window to see it. As we were looking at it 3 distinct objects started descending from the sky.
At first, they looked like giant orange fireballs but we were able to clearly see that they were actually a orange glowing trail behind 3 solid objects that were quickly descending down towards the ground. You know when you see a plane fly by and it leaves the trail in the clouds behind it? Well, thats what these looked like. I could clearly see at the beginning of the orange flame like trails, 3 solid masses.
They appeared to be black or dark grey in color. They were descending from above the unmoving large glowing orange object that we first saw. I would imagine a meteorite or anything else crashing into our atmosphere would look similar to what I saw.
I was immediately scared and actually called the Waterbury Police to make a report and spoke to the officer who responded and came to my home. Whatever they were they each left a trail of what looked like fire behind them. Within 10 minutes there were helicopters that proceeded to cover the general area where I saw the strange lights.
It would have been over the Naugatuck/Waterbury line near the I-84 interchange with Rte 8. I heard and also saw at least 2 army blackhawk helicopters that seemed to be working together that scanned that area and all the way into Thomaston or atleast thats as far as I could see from my view. They had extremely bright lights on though not the entire time as though looking for something.
At one point I could see at least 4 helicopters (some not loud like the army ones) covering the general area at the same altitude they were originally vis! ible from and then lower to the ground. They did this up until close to 12:30 in the morning. There is no way they would waste that much money on fuel and man power on a phone call from one citizen.
Clearly something came down that shouldn't have. I have noticed strange lights and irregular movement in this area before but nothing at all like what I witnessed last night. I'm actually still scared about what I saw and would feel better if anyone else saw what I saw or has any information on what it was.
I wish I could just shake off the feeling that whatever came down last night wasn't good.
