Full Report Text:
LAYING IN BED LOOKING OUT WINDOW AND SAW A BRIGHT FLASH TRAILING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. IT APPEARED GREENISH IN COLOR TO ME, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SHOOTING STARS AND THIS WAS A DIFFERENT COLOR THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN. ALSO SHOOTING STARS THAT I'VE SEEN HAVE ALWAYS APPEARED TO BE HIGH IN THE SKY, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT IVE SEEN ANYTHING THAT I THOUGHT COULD'VE ACTUALLY LANDED OR BURNED UP CLOSE TO GROUND, IT REALLY SEEMED TO GO INTO THE TREE TOPS.
I WONDER IF IT WAS SOME SORT OF METEORITE THAT MADE IT TO THE GROUND, BUT SEEING ON HERE THAT OTHERS APPARENTLY SAW THE SIMILAR OCCURENCE FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
Full Report Text:
I am a 19 yr old college student who was in my room on 2nd floor, when I heard my mother yelling if I wanted to see something cool to run outside and look to the left. I went outside, expecting to see a animal or something, but she told me to look up and I saw 3 orange lights in a formation coming to a stop moving west to east. Then I saw one start moving in quick little movements then it stopped then the other one started to do the same then they all disappeared into the distance moving north.
After I went to the internet and googled strange orange lights and saw pics of what looked like what I saw. ((NUFORC Note: Please see other report from West Suffield for a sighting of the same objects. PD)).
Full Report Text:
When letting my dog out approx 8:45pm, I was checking out the stars, when I turned around and saw 5 large bright orange lights flying in weird formation, 3 on top row, and two on bottom row, but not perfect, making 2 triangles moving from left (WEST) to right (EAST) in complete silence for a couple minutes. They moved loosely changing formations. Definitely not planes or helicopters, as I see airport traffic all the time.
They moved fast at first slowed down and stopped, I ran inside to call my 19yr old son & grab my cell phone. When I came out of house with my cell phone, I saw 2 which were smaller, due to having moved to a further proximity now and more red in color now moving left to right they stopped and then seemed to wiggle and went straight away (NORTH) from us extremely fast & got very small & disappeared in seconds.
