Around 8 pm, I was working at a wedding outside the venue at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake. I was alone outside setting up a photo booth, then looked out onto the lake. I see three bright, glowing orbs in a triangular formation quickly fly west, then tilt upwards facing me and disappear flying skyward.

We were driving and we saw something that we thought was first a hot air balloon, we soon realized It was not moving at all, It was a metallic color and It ended up having a flat top and a pointy bottom but still has rounded sides. We just kept looking at It because we felt crazy and thought It must be something normal but like we said It was t moving at all. Right after we started to pass some trees and by the time we got past the tree It was gone with no trace of It at all.

It was a long cylindrical silver shaped object that was stationary in the sky unmoving. The object then changed from silver to gold and changed shape from cylindrical to round but looked like it had a pole in the center. It then changed from gold to yellow greenish but metallic and looked like it had some kind of green light in the center or something that reflected sunlight. After all this it completely vanished into thin air like it never existed.

The object was still in the sky and not making a sound. It just sat over a military facility in Middletown CT on Smith Street and took off when a helicopter approached. The helicopter appeared to be in silent mode and circled the area for up to 30 minutes. I recently found out that others saw a silver disc like object and tried to put it on Facebook but it was taken down

Pill/cigar shaped, silver or white. No visable wings. Nothing audible to me. Discharged white trail about 2 seconds after it came into view. Disappeared seconds after it stopped trail. Disappeared into clouds. This is a very overcast sky. Seemed to move faster than a plane. i don't know how to estimate elevation, but it didn't appear to be any higher than a twin engine would fly. No lights that I could see.
