Unusual path and abrupt changes of direction by a star-like object in the sky On Sunday, May 2 at around 8:45 PM I was outside on the deck of my significant other's house in Westport, CT with a group of 6 people when I casually looked up to the sky at the Big Dipper. I saw what, at first, appeared to be a star / plane-like object (yellowish-orange in color) moving fairly normally downwards in the sky near the 2nd star of the Big Dipper handle at roughly commercial airplane altitude. But then, a few seconds later, what caught my eye was that this object performed a sudden - albeit slight - turn in direction (no more than 30 degrees).

It wasn't a gradual, arc-like turn but rather a pretty sudden turn on a point in the sky. A couple seconds later, it repeated a similar turn on another point in the sky. 4-5 such turns were made within the span of 15-20 seconds so that after that time the object had completely changed its direction and was now heading upwards in the sky on the other side of the same star of the Dipper.

and then it (g! radually) disappeared. From a physics standpoint, it was as if something had entered the atmosphere, took this unusual path, and then exited the atmosphere. I am 43 years old and I had never seen anything like this before.

It became obvious that it was neither a plane nor a meteor. I thought that it could, perhaps, be some kind of satellite capable of making such sudden turns.but I later discovered that such motion was impossible for satellites as well (unless something catastrophic was happening with the satellite).

Just when I thought I'd seen a one-time unusual event.about 5 minutes later I see a similar yellowish-orange object appear just outside the the far side of the Big Dipper pan and slowly making its way under the pan and towards the handle. This time, I quickly called attention to the object to both my girlfriend and another guest at the gathering (he was about 60 years old) and they both confirmed that the strange object was neither a plane nor a meteo! r.

The object continued on its trajectory across that part of! the sky making a gradual arc (straighter than the first) in that part of the sky until it had passed the Big Dipper handle. It then gradually disappeared afterwards. This object's somewhat erratic path lasted 30-45 seconds.

Blue circular light falling from sky I saw a blue circular light in the distance outside my window. Larger than a star. It caught my eye, then moved vertically for about 7 seconds and disappeared.

Two circular, rim lights blinking and one irregular lower altitude black amorphous My wife and I were out in the back-yard laying on lounge chairs, looking up at a passing plane and discussing what causes contrails, when she pointed out another object in the sky. It was around 6PM and the sky was completely clear, good light. This other object was flashing, but not moving, from what we could tell.

It appeared to be circular or slightly oval, with 3 or 4 lights on the outer edges evenly spaced, again, flashing maybe once every couple of seconds (Not sure, didn’t think to time it.) These lights were very bright, bright to the point that when they were on, the object became somewhat of a bright smear in the sky. When they were off, you could see faintly that the shape was roughly circular.

The contrail of the plane that had just passed (going north) was still visible. The blinking object appeared to be at around the same altitude as the contrail, although, I am no pro at determining such a thing. So, what do you do when confronted with something like this? Well, you look for more like it of course.

We scanned the sky and didn’t see any other similar objects. However, coming from the north going south and close to us, maybe 1000ft up we saw a moving black object. It was an irregular shape and it seemed to change shape as it moved which made us wonder if it was some sort of deflating balloon that had been released.

However, it was moving at a pretty steady speed and there really wasn’t much wind. I don’t know how big this thing was and will leave it at that for now because my gut tells me it was unrelated and probably some normal thing. The first object had moved east while we watched the black thing.

It had to have moved relatively far because it was noticeably smaller. Then we noticed an object identical to this one coming in from the north, apparently moving in the direction of the first object. By this time, it looked like the first object had stopped moving again, but I could be wrong about that.

Hard to tell from that distance/angle. The similar object was clearly on an intersecting path and soon the two met and then from that point on you couldn’t differentiate between them and they slowly faded out. I can’t say much about the speed of the first object because we didn’t see it move to the other location.

However, the object that “caught up” with it was moving fast. We are under a major flight path, see planes passing all the time. The second object was moving as fast as or faster than the planes we see passing by.

In that moment I thought it was faster, possibly much faster, only because we had just seen a plane pass by and I think memory of that influenced my analysis. But who knows, really? At times like that you’re not exactly thinking about making accurate measurements. Of course, I did not have my phone, having left it in my office, but even if I had my phone, I doubt the pictures would have given much because of the altitude of the objects.

For the black object maybe, it would have helped because that was closer, but again, I think that was something likely to have a down to earth explanation. I shared this information with my daughters and they had nothing productive to say, so I gave up on telling anyone else until now.

Green fluorescent sphere over Saugatuck River. While driving on I-95 South last night at 9:40 pm, I observed a fluorescent green sphere traveling up the Saugatuck River at a slow rate of speed. The object descended as it made its way toward I-95, then appeared to disappear from sight as it approached the rooftops of the houses that are located on the riverbank.

There were bright orange lights on the object that turned off within 10 minutes Orange fireball that hovered sunk and reemerged headed from west to east, 90 degree turn, headed north for approximately 1/4 of 1 mile. The Orange glow went completely out as if a switch turned off and the object could only be seen as a dark object in the sky until it disappeared.

White-orange lights, in row, slowly crossing sky At Compo Beach, after the annual Westport 4th of July fireworks display, my son and his friends observed five lights moving across the sky. A little over a week ago, on 06/25-2012, my wife reported a dramatically similar phenomenon at this same location, and reported it to NUFORC. My son and friends were also there at the earlier occasion and saw the lights then too.

According to my son, this sighting was pretty much the same thing as he had seen previously, except this time the lights appeared to be higher in the sky. In the first sighting they appeared very low. Since I'm reporting this 2nd hand, I hesitate to provide more information.

But my son took a short video which I will email to NUFORC.

Low, silent procession of orange 15-20 lights slowly flying over Westport to over Long Island Sound Driving car along Compo Beach, on cloudy, overcast night. Just dropped off my son to see friends. No moon or starlight.

Saw two or three large orange lights flying, low, slowly over Westport proceeding toward Long Island Sound. Lights about the size of a shirt button at arms length. While almost directly overhead, they appeared to be flying low and slow.

If lights were not low, then they would have had to be huge. Saw another light following first lights, then another, then another. All moving in straight line toward Long Island.

Pulled car over to watch as more lights continued to add to the widely spaced procession of lights. Fifteen to twenty in all. Car windows rolled down, but could hear no sound.

Another car stopped at a stop sign - not moving - as lights flew by. Returned home and texted my son who saw them also, but said they looked red to him.

Large saucer in the sky over Westport, CT! Late at night, I saw an enormous saucer in the sky above my house. This town is right near the Long Island sound and the ocean, and the saucer was floating through the sky towards the water. There were no lights or sound, it was simply illuminated by the moon.

Shortly after first noticing the object, it disappeared behind the tree line, as there are tons of trees in this area. Did anyone else see this???.

White dot motionless in sky begins to move- sheds into two white dots The sky was blue and practically clear- except some stratus clouds. A white dot is stationed motionless in the sky. Two planes pass right under it, showing that this dot lies somewhere higher in the stratosphere.

These "stratus" clouds pass over it, which dims the object, so it's obviously higher then these clouds. As the sky clears and the sun shines you can see this white dot much clearer. After about 20 minutes it, the white dot starts to move across the sky at a steady pace, as it moves a fair distance it appears to shed another white dot.

So now there are 2 white dots traveling across the sky, and they end up traveling out of my range of vision. This is the third time I have seen these shapes. All three in different parts of the country.

Can never explain nor figure out what type of UFO this could be.

A PICTURE TAKEN OF THE MOON AND VENUS REVEALED THIS THING I THOUGHT TO BE A SHOOTING STAR. NO REPORTS OF SHOOTING STARS WERE REPORTED FOR THAT DATE/TIME/AREA. JUST NOTICED A FLASH OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CAMERA FLASH.

DIDN'T THINK OF IT UNTIL LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS LATER THAT DAY. I HAVE ATTACHED 2 PHOTOS. ONE CLOSE UP.

LOOKS LIKE BLUE TO RED (MAYBE HEAT COMING OFF IT AS IT ENTERED THE ATMOSPHERE?) IT WAS 5/24/2006 AT EXACTLY 4:37:42AM. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Westport, CT possible sighting We (2 NYC suburb professional females, one late 30's and the other early 40's) were driving down I95 South from Fairfield CT to Norwalk CT. It was early evening 7:30pm? (dark) about 2 or 3 years ago. I am sorry I do not remember the exact date.

We saw an object in the sky that looked like a stealth bomber (black, triangular) with bright lights along the edge of it. It was hovering to the right side of I-95 over homes! We turned to each other at the same time and asked "what is that?". We rolled down the windows in our car but could not hear any noise.

If it were a plane or a jet, we certainly would have heard something. It appeared to be hovering extremely low to the ground. If it were a plane it would have been moving very quickly, and would have certainly crashed at that low of an altitude.

We don't think anyone else saw it except us. It is a very busy highway and surely it would have been reported in the newspaper (it was not, we looked for reports!). As we were on I-95, a very busy highway, we could not stop.

I (the passenger) in the car, turned around to see if I could see more, but could not. We had no explanation for it. We saw the Peter Jennings report and our sighting seemed very similar to other sightings.

My friend and I frequently mention this sighting to eachother and how strange it was. Both of us to this day, remember it very clearly. We just wonder why no one else saw it.

((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; indicates that the date is approximate. We suspect many probably did witness the object; they just didn't report it. PD)).

Summary : Two men in 20's, witness a beam of greenish light on merritt parkway. maybe metor, very fast and split in two right over us. We are two men in late 20's business perfessionals.

Looked like maybe a metor. very fast and very bright! a greenish look. we were in car travelling about 55 mph.

it stood out, and split apart and continued across the horizon. hard to say the height of it. but it was close enough to notice the light instantly.

it was pretty large. again it had a neonish green appearence!.

Silent, very slow moving, pulsing red lights under perimeter, passed directly overhead, making 90 degree change of direction, S to W. I was returning home from me job, across the main road (Post Road), on the 5mph entrance road to the Lansdowne Condos, when I noticed out the windshield, that a craft was passing very slowly above me. I immediately stopped, to just observe it.

I could hear nothing. I rolled my window down, and still heard nothing. It was a crystal clear night, so it was extremely difficult to guess at it's physical size.

There were trees lining both sides of the road ahead of me, that I estimate were about 40 feet tall. The roadway was about 30 feet wide. From my vantage point, if the craft was just clearing the trees, I would estimate that it was at least 50-60 feet in diameter.

But, since the evergreen trees were not illuminated by the pulsing red lights on the underside perimeter of the craft, and there were no street lights illuminating the underside of the craft, I could not clearly determine it's elevation. It may have been several hundred feet above me, in which case, from my vantage point, it would have had to have been as wide, or wider than a football field. If it was at the lower elevation, it seemed to just hover over the same road that I was traveling, and seemed to have changed direction, to the right, above the T in the road, exactly where I made the same turn.

I quickly drove to that corner and turned, and the craft was no longer in sight.
