It was hovering over our family farm slowly hovering than it stopped then the light it emitted stop. The object was cigar shaped with lights emitting on one side and it didn’t make a noise or sound and it hovered slowly and then it stopped briefly over my home and the lights went out on the cigar shaped object.
Full Report Text:
A long series of evenly spaced lights (about 15+ on each side) which moved slowly. The shape was incredibly long (30-50 ft.)with lights on each side.
The lights were spaced uniformly on each side. It looked like a faint cigar shape, very long and thin. The lights were bright as a star.
We were able to watch it move slowly, tilted in a vertical direction and then it disappeared as if behind something, but nothing was there. The lights were very bright, and they dimmed as it started to ascend. We both watch the sky, and we have never seen anything like this.
No other aircraft was around at the time. When we first saw it was so bright, and started to move as we both looked at it, dimmed and disappeared. It lasted no more then 5 minutes.

Orange fireball sighted in Woodbury, CT While in my bed ready to go to sleep a very bright orange light appeared outside my window. I got up and saw that the orange light was located at the top of the hills located approximately five miles south of my home. I witnessed a bright orange glowing object that resembled an intense sunrise, along with colors in the surrounding sky above.
I then thought that it may have been a fire, but the orange fireball appeared to move further away from me, over and behind the hill. As this happened the light faded and the sky returned to its normal nighttime color.

Low flying lights sighted performing strange maneuvers across a year time frame (still active) Every once in awhile about a year ago, I decided to start looking out the window from my apartment at night. One of these times, I saw a light that seemed to be moving across the sky. It was too low to be a plane, and had no sound.
Just a strobing light. Fast forward to about a month ago, when I decided to start actively looking out my window. The sightings of these strange lights seemed to increase.
They cannot be seen at all times of the night, so I decided to sample every so often each night. Sometimes I would see them, sometimes not. Fast forward to a few weeks ago.
I decided to buy some binoculars to see if I could make out the craft attached to these lights. After locating some lights on a few nights, I managed to lock on several times with my binoculars. There is no craft attached to the lights.
They are just strobing lights floating across the sky in odd ways. Fast forward to about a week ago. I started consistently looking out the window to find the lights.
To my amazement, they had stopped. I had been seeing them at least once every 3 days. Therefore, I decided to take it easy and stop consistently looking out the window.
Fast forward to the reporting date. On a whim, I decided to look out the window. I assumed it was mostly done, and I would not see anything more.
To my amazement, in plain sight - 3 strobing lights. I was caught off guard. All of the lights were just strobing across the sky, starting from different points.
I decided to grab my binoculars to see if I could lock on to one of them. I picked one and tried to keep it in view. As soon as I did, it started to zip around.
Every time the light strobed, it would instantaneously zip to another position. I had a hard time tracking it, but didn't think much of it because it was in the view of my binoculars, therefore it was not going very far (perspective). I went away from the window to try and process what happened and then went in for another go.
Since the binoculars weren't doing me any favors - there is no craft attached to the lights, I decided to look with the naked eye. Again to my dumbfoundment, this is where things got eerie. There were still 3 lights.
All throughout the sightings, the strobe pattern had been gentle. It is very much like a standard plane strobe pattern. One light started strobing crazily.
Its strobe pattern sped up and started zipping left to right in the tree line. I located the other light near the ground and it started to strobe much faster. After about 2 seconds, it shot 50 feet into the air instantly at every strobe.
At this point, I was scared, so I stopped observation and shut the window. I cannot ascertain if these lights know that someone (or me) is watching them. Additionally, these are not planes or UAVs.
For one, there is no visible craft attached to the lights. For two, there is no sound. And for three, planes and UAVs cannot perform the maneuvers being seen.
Since the appearance of the lights is almost daily outside my window, it is safe to say this is a hotspot (in my opinion). I am inclined to get the correct gear to video tape these lights; however, I honestly was too scared to go outside and do so this time. Furthermore, what about next time? Will I be too scared? For reference, I live in the Woodbury Knoll apartment complex.
CT 64 is right outside my window at a distance of some feet. Across the road there are some buildings. This is seemingly where the activity is taking place.
I do not have a good idea of the range at which the lights are from my window, but they are very low to the ground and fairly close. I am performing the sightings from lat / long coordinates: 41.526603, -73.
181202. If you draw a line from the origin coordinates to lat / long coordinates: 41.525573, -73.
182087, you will see where I am looking to see the objects.

As above I saw a flickering very bright red and white light in the sky. It looked much bigger than a star. I watched it for about 10 minutes, it was perfectly still and did not move.
Suddenly it was gone, like someone switched the light off. It did not look like an air craft. It went away too fast.
I stood there for another few minutes to see if it came back, but it didn't. It was a very clear night.

Rounded lighted object seen over Woodbury CT Me and my mom were driving home when suddenly a rounded object with lights appeared in our view. We watched it thinking it was an airplane but the lights did not blink or strobe. As we were looking at it it got lower to the point where our car actually went ahead of the object ( this is how i could tell it was low because if it was high like an airplane we wouldn't have been able to pass it and to where the angle we had to look at it had to change ).
We stopped, now questioning what we were seeing. The object continued to move past us ( to my view it was moving to my right and I was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, looking out the drivers side window) until suddenly, and i mean INSTANTLY, stopped and shot away into the other direction (away from our car, to the left of my view, and towards the rear of where our car was faced).

5 fire-orange colored spheres,moving quickly and without sound in Woodbury We were driving from Washington, DC, to Woodbury Ct on Rt 47 at 10:00 pm on Saturday, September 7, 2013. As we were passing Painter Hill Road my teenage son noticed what he thought was a very bright star. Then he said "Oh wow, it's orange and there are a bunch of them".
We pulled over, turned off the car and lights. We were both able to capture what we were seeing with our phones. We thought we were seeing a group of helicopters, mostly because of the speed they were moving, but then realized there was so sound coming from them at all.
It was a very dark and still night with light drizzle. So whatever we were seeing was below the cloud cover. We got out of the car to see and film better.
The group of lights reminded me of what a car cigarette lighter looks like when burning. The orange color was very bright but looking at them did not hurt your eyes and they did not seem to emit any radiant light. One light would fade out then back on.
The group went over our heads and one light faded and disappeared even though I felt it was still moving. Then the rest were gone. This lasted about 4 minutes.
We then drove back to Woodbury, slowing down in the open areas to hoping to see the lights again, but did not.

Bright star-like lights moving in ways meteors and satellites do not move. A star-like object moved at a steady speed in one direction from about 45 degrees from zenith due West to slightly West of Zenith and slowed down to a complete stop. Did not stop suddenly.
Two streaks of light flew rapidly across the Western sky from North to South. The stationary light that stopped near Zenith stayed there for about 20 minutes and looked like one of the stars until I went inside to get another witness. When I went back outside it was gone, but other star-like objects were moving in non-straight paths and seen by another witness.
((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

It was augest 22, and we were driving home from my brithday party when I saw a disk with a slightly domed roof hovering in the sky. We were driving home from my brithday party and I looked up in the sky and saw a ufo hovering in the sky (it seemed like it was at a very high altitude). I could tell it was metalic because the sun glemed off its surfase.
I could see enough of the craft to tell it was a disk with a slightly domed roof. As I looked at it I said to my mom "look! its a ufo" she responed "ok cool I belive you (in a sarcastic tone)" I turned to argue, when I looked back it was gone. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this young man, and he sounded quite credible to us.
PD)).

Flying objects, Similar to planes, but almost postive they weren't planes. I am only reporting this because it is similiar to the guys report in Enfield. Unfortunatly, i do not remeber what day it was.
Though it could n ot have been more then 2 weeks ago. I was driving from bethlehem to naugatuck. Crossing route 6, i saw this thing.
that looked similiar to a plane, it was really low, REALLY LOW and going down at an angle. When i got to route 6 not even 30seconds later i looked to the right and there was nothing. My boyfriend was behind me and he told me it was an Helicopter.
Well i got to middlebury where westover was and i passed westover and i looked up and i saw the same thing! but this time it did look like an helicopter because it fast across the road. It had wing lights on the very edges and a light on what seemed to be a tail. but there was nothing else then that and it was just SITTING THERE and then it started to move away.
very very very slowly. So by now i am freaked out. i called my boyfriend who went another way and when i drove by hop brook in naugatuck, he called me.
He said there was one over his head where he was in nauagatuck. He said it was real low but he rolled down his window and it sounded like a plane but he wasn't sure. I just think its really strange and bizarre.
We saw 3 of these "things" within 30mins, in 3 different towns. All in the same vinicity. I do not think it was a plane.
((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. We have assigned a date for two weeks prior to the date of submission of the report. PD)).

Oval orange glowing object hovers over Three Rivers Park, shoots laser-beam to ground. Not a balloon! I went to the sliding glass doors to tell my dog to stop barking. It was dark out, and I saw an orange glowing object up in the air, about a hand width above the distant tree line, over Three Rivers Park.
It was glowing as if from within, and I could amke out a slighlty hazy flashing red light on my side of the view, and a white or pale greenish-blue one just on the far side of the object. There was a stopped vehicle with headlights on, that had pulled off the road, facing this object. I figured this driver saw this, too.
I was cooking, so I had to tend to the stove, and then returned to see the thing still there. It was perfectly silent, I got my dog to stop barking for a minute, I opened the door, and heard no sound at all. He started barking again, and as I watched this object, it just disappeared! My dog stopped barking when it disappeared.
My boyfriend had been in his office, and I had said nothing to him about this. I went to the TV to see if there was something on the news, meanwhile I heard my boyfriend say, "What's that thing out there?" Then he said, "This thing out there was up in the sky and it just shot a white laser-like beam of light down to the ground, then disappeared!" He described the same object that I had seen. I went to the door, and saw thatt he car was gone, or at least his headlights were off.
I had checked the news after that, and there was nothing about that. I have not gone to the park to see if it left any signs in the snow, and don't want to, really, thugh someone should, I guess. After the object had disappeared, I noticed the normal air traffic had returned.
Planes usually appear as tiny pinpricks of light, as do stars, but this was as big as a thumbnail held out full stretch.
