Saw a fast moving object. While waiting in front of my house with my two kids and wife for school bus to arrive, we saw a fast, shiny, object moving high in the sky. The object had no white streaks, or flashing lights the way a jet does.
It appeared to be moving very fast then it slowed down and then it moved fast again.

thought it might be a low flying helicopter.proceeded south and noticed 2 yellowish orange lights where the initial flash came from. I then pulled into store parking lot, almost under lights.
grabbed my binoculars and got out of the car.looked up and could see nothing but blacker than the sky and still 2 lights.leaned down into car and said to my wife,do u see that?what the hell is that? Looked up,now 3 lights in triangle shape, hovering.
still no sound, and had a Feeling it or they seen me.whatever it was ,was big,based on light pattern,and i would say it was about 400 yards in the air,i am not positive, but i would say 3 or 4 football fields in the air. still not seeing anything thru binocs but blacker than the sky triangle.
i put binocs in car, look up and its gone.do a 360 and the only thing i see is a small rectangle of! light as bright as the first flash i seen, heading north/ northeast and getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared from my view in a heartbeat. still dumbfounded.

Connecticut sighting - blunt triangle shaped craft cruises over dense suburban neighborhood at night. I was coming home from work and had just pulled into my driveway. I exited the vehicle and glanced over the top of my house to the north.
I always do this when I come home from work. I do not know why. I live in a pretty dense neighborhood (my lot is .
18 of an acre), but being a weeknight it was quiet.no dogs barking, no people out so pretty typical. I live in the flight path of two airports, one that houses mostly business jets as well as recreational aircraft; the other regional jets to international flyers.
I also am subject to the hospital emergency helicopter, aka LifeStar, from time to time and also grew up in the flight path of a military base and get buzzed by the Met Life blimp once a year due to a PGA Golf Tournament that is run a few towns over, so I am pretty familiar with what I should and should NOT be hearing above my head. Like I said, I exited the vehicle and glanced above my house to the north. My routine.
I was stopped short because I heard something that didn't sound right. It was a low steady frequency with absolutely ZERO movement to it. It did not sound mechanical.
I focused my eyes to where it was coming from. Then up and above my house and over the tops of the trees this massive vessel/craft/ship appeared, strong and steady. It was a long, blunt triangle shape.
Think of a triangle with the tip cut off. On each of the 4 points there was a steady bright white light I took to be the indicator lights. Between the back 2 white indicator lights, there was a big bright red light that blinked, not fast.
slow and steady. On the blunt tip between those 2 indicator lights there was what seemed like a wall of lights that only shone straight ahead.like headlights per say.
This ship was either very low or very big. As it passed overhead heading in a southerly direction, I just stood there, quite literally frozen to the spot, mesmerized by what I was seeing. I had my iPhone in my hand but I didn't want to take my eyes off it even for a second so I could be present and remember what I saw so I could keep every detail in my head.
As it passed,it was all I saw, all I heard and nothing else mattered. I was not scared. I was more, interested and curious.
After I got my senses back, I went inside and drew a picture so I wouldn't forget what I saw in the morning.
Full Report Text:
Object being chased by two other fighter jets. My daughter and I were walking our dog. I looked up, hearing a loud scream of an engine.
Looking up we both saw a jet screaming towards another object disappearing behind as it made its pass. When the jet reappeared it circling back with its after burners glowing blueish. Then from the front another plane made a pass by the object and just as I reached for my phone to take a photo The under belly of the fighter plane lit up and what I could only assume it was shooting at the object perhaps.
This was when I was able to take one photo of what was going on. After I snapped a photo. The planes circled back following the object off in the distance.

Driving south on 91. Bright light in the distance. As we got closer saw it wasn't moving.
Got a good look, almost under it. October 25 2015--~1am Driving south on interstate 91. Had just merged on to 91 from route 3 in Wethersfield.
Saw a bright white light in the distance off to our left. Pointed it out to the 3 girls in the car with me. As we got closer (still a bit away), thought it was a circle as we saw the lights around the outside.
The closer we got, could see it very clearly---I thought it was a triangle shape but with a blunted front. Bright white light in the center and lights around the outside perimeter. Girls had more time to look (I was driving) they said full triangle.
It was hovering in the same spot the entire time, looked to be over Wethersfield around exit 24. Entire sighting was probably only about 30-40 seconds. From the time we got on 91 at exit 25, until we passed it around exit 24.
Very Cool. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Observed a light that seemed to be blinking/twinkling. Light moved in various directions fairly quickly and would also hover in one spot for various periods of time. Appeared to be very high in the sky, made no audible sound.
Definitely not a helicopter. Movements were nothing like any aircraft I have ever seen. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

3 Flaming Balls over Wethersfield CT On 9/15/13 at 8:22pm - Wethersfield, CT - Walking by myself on State St towards Main. Looking to my right (south), I saw a bright white light, 5 to 10 times bigger than any star or planet that I ever saw. It was just off the horizon, over some trees.
It might have been stationary at first, but within a few seconds I noticed it moving to the north (towards me) at about the speed of an airplane. After a few more seconds, I saw that there were 2 more on these objects, following the first one in single file - all together, 3 round bright white lights, moving together in unison and precision, in uniform motion, as if they were connected by a rope. Then they changed into round red flaming balls.
It looked EXACTLY like these orbs were engulfed in red fire. I did not see any fuselage/body of any type. Just 3 flaming balls.
They kept moving north at a very uniform speed, rising steadily, until they were in front of me, about 45 degrees off the horizon. At no time did I hear any sounds emitted from them. They then changed direction and started heading towards the east(away from me) and quickly faded out, one by one.
There was no noticeable wind blowing which could have caused them to turn 90 degrees. They turned with their own power. Just to be thorough, I'm not entirely certain that they actually turned.
They might have just stopped and started rising and getting smaller as they faded away. As there were no clouds or anything else that might have been used as a reference, I am unable to make an accurate determination as to their size, speed or distance from me. If I had to guess, I would say they took the approximate path, and speed, of a small single engine airplane which was in the process of climbing to cruising altitude.
If that's correct, then these objects would be about 10 to 20 feet in diameter. I've been looking up in the sky for 50 years and never, ever, ever, ever, saw anything like this. Straight out of X-Files.
(Note - I had just made some very clear affirmations to myself about expanding my consciousness and awareness out in all directions into infinity, and for eternity - past present and future - and in all dimensions. I had just finished this affirmation and was focusing on these thoughts when I looked to my right and noticed this phenomenon in the sky.).

Spherical object appears in sky above building, circles to the right and drops below roofline. Video available my daughter, while trying to record birds chirping using the video recorder on her mobile phone, recorded a spherical object above the roofline of the building next door. The roof creates an artificial horizon and it is difficult to determine distance from object.
It comes into view from the roof line to the right of the chimney, goes up and around in a circle to the right and disappears back down below the roof line. Duration of object in line of sight is approximately 3 seconds.

I was looking over the horizon in the direction of Glastonbury, I was in Wethersfield accompanied by my girlfriend. We both saw lights about 1 mile in the distance in a cluster shape or formation, seeming yellow at first. These lights would disapear and the reapear on the other side of the formation.
These "transports" happened at least 4 times. It was slowly moving in our direction. Then as they got closer, but still at least a half mile away, most of the lights seemed to disappear and then only three remained.
It was a triangle with a red blinking light at the top and two solid yellow lights at the bottom. It hovered in the air, not moving, for at least 3 minutes as we watched. Then it began to seem to sway back and forth once or twice then began moving to the lower right of the tree line.
Before it was out of site it slowly changed direction and went to the lower right instead. Not moving straight, like any regular aircraft. It was hardly visible as it moved through the trees until out of sight.
Several minutes later the same object or an identical one went to the same exact spot in the sky and stayed hovering for the same duration of time before following the path the other took. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD)).

Metalic Cylinder with Humanoid Occupants Was working at my computer station late afternoon and looked up out the large picture window and spotted a 16 foot high round metalic cylinder in proportion to a soda can silently hovering over the parking lot of the adjacent office building next to the power transmission lines. There was a blueish green luminous shaft of light emitted from the center of the cylinder's bottom, almost like a flourescent plasma. The upper half of the craft had a large clear window and had two male humanoid occupants in brown military like uniforms observing me from about 75 feet away.
I got excited and wanted to share the sighting with someone and went to the business downstairs and found the store owner. We went outside and the craft had moved down the powerline a few hundred yards and was a small, not identifiable speck. Skeptical, he suggested that my sighting might have been a helicoptor.
It clearly was not.

On back to back nights, as a teenager hanging out with my friends we all witnessed strange activity in the sky over Wethersfield. Walking up Nott Street on approx. The night of the 15th something with an unusual light pattern flew over head very quickly and we all thought it very odd.
The following night my friend Tony and I both witnessed a bright blue glowing circle in the sky that was there for about 15 seconds and disappeared quicker than we could look at each other and exclaim, "Did you see that?". I found this page and remembered this experience. When I looked and saw another spotting in Wethersfield at that time I had to share this story.
