Full Report Text:
Airplane West Simsbury Very Bright Reflective Silver Driving car in West Simsbury, saw silver airplane off Old Farms Road. Expert opinion years later would state that it most likely would have been aircraft from Simsbury or Bradley Airport in normal air traffic zones. The object in the sky was very shiny, which I became reminded of when using aluminum tape recently.
Based on expert opinion it most likely would be an airplane, just reflecting a high amount of light. This is not abnormal in itself as the sun is bright at these times in the summer, the unsettling detail was that the airplane itself was so glowing with shine. This brightness has not been observed since this event years ago in 2006.
I would state that even though it apparently leans towards a normal aircraft, it was so shiny with luminance that I have not been able to explain. There were other cars on the road, though I am unaware if anyone else thought anything of this airplane incident. ((NUFORC Note: One of many reports submitted by the same source, who elects to remain totally anonymous, and who provides no contact information.
Probable hoax?? PD)).

small blimpish looking spacecraft that was silverish/metalish in color that wasent moving and disappered once i looked back up at sky I was outside with some friends at around 5:00 at night during the summer. It was a cloudless, blue, sunny, day and while I was walking with my friends I looked up at the sky and I noticed this thing in the sky that kindof looked like a blimp, but was way to high up,(about the same hight as a plane would be) and was completley silverish/metalish, and was also very small and not moving at all, it seemed as if it were suspended in the air. Well I was looking at this and while I was looking a friend asked me if we should go to eat now and i looked down at him and said "yeah" and when I looked back up it was gone and I looked all over the sky for it! Now as I said before it was a cloudless day so if it was a regular plane, blimp, etc I would of been able to see it once I looked back up, and also I took my eyes away from the aircraft for about three seconds to answer my friends question.
To this day I still dont know what it was and I have never seen or heard of anything similiar to it yet ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. Dramatic UFO event reported from same town on Friday, November 17, 1995. PD)).

West Simsbury Late 1995 Nightmare Imp Woods Alien Misinterpreted Estimated Timeline September 03 1995? West Simsbury, CT Masters School - Mountain Pass Located near Saddle Ridge. Observing waterfall at end of street in woods, acquaintance rushes towards my location saying that "someone" is coming after us and we need to leave at once. I look up mountain ledge and see as well a "person" so blacked out that you can not even tell who or what they are - this beings features are so blurred you can't take any descriptive readings.
Chased about half way out of woods by this "person", entity has not been seen since this occurrence by myself. Shortly after, the entire area would flood with overflow from an old storm. I believe at the time we were in 7th grade and enjoyed playing near the forest.
Have heard from others strange things have happened in these exact same woods and sometimes you need to steer clear of these places to be safe. Perhaps someone else has had a similar experience. I would not say it is demonic in nature, perhaps closer to alien like activity which is why I believe it may be of interest here.
Supernatural in the same sense, we can push aside such folklore and myths of the past to suggest it may have been some type of extraterrestrial, not the traditional cliche grey though something much more fearful scary and sinister, a reason to look your doors and windows at night. It may be taken as demonic by some except that would be not be the full understanding of such a being and how it would see us. I am not sure if it "radiated" we ran so fast away from this being of great dark power.
The closest approximation of it's appearance would be a nightmare imp from Doom. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=90383333 I doubt this artist's vision can give it justice though.
I advocate for others to share if they have run into this same situation, whether it was a hallucination, dream, or something else. Perhaps it could be something far worse. None the less people need to keep their eyes and ears open for such a "person" as it is worthy of study.
This has been discussed on the web and no one has really offered a rational explanation beyond the obvious; it was a hallucination, or even a imaginative reaction to the shadow people folklore, perhaps a hysterical occurrence of normal origin mistaken. My own opinion on this matter is if you encounter this being you could stay to see exactly what this person is and what they are doing, though it may be wiser to turn a blind eye and run very fast never looking back. You would be better off protecting yourself than learning what this exactly is and leaving it alone at just that.
