This is not the first time I've seen what could be UFO over Bridgeport Connecticut but they never look like the typical UFO. I don't see ships or crafts. I see lights. I can differentiate if I'm seeing stars or other planets. But every time I see one it's in the form of light. It was just a big round ball of light racing through the sky. It caught me off guard because I was on my way to do an Uber eats order. I did a double take and again couldn't believe I was seeing this. There were trees and stuff around so it kept cutting in an out but then I saw the plane. It wasn't a regular plane because of how fast it was going, it was literally on the ass of this light ball and it literally just look like a jet chasing a ball in the sky. I know it sounds crazy but I see a lot of unexplainable things that I never really share, only with friends because I know how crazy I'd look. I new it was some type of plane because I saw the wings and the lights but it was moving too fast to be a regular plane and it was too close in proximity of this light ball.

It was similar to the brightness of a cop cars siren coloring and tone, it was as quick as a shooting star when in motion, it was going up, slightly back and forth, and erratically. The object moved, emitted lights, and had no sound other than a slight thundering sound in the distance. It did not engage with any other aircraft. There was no trail or haze. It was the size oof a dime and a quarter of a football field away from me. The shape of the craft was triangluar and wedge-shaped. It was a clear night sky no rain no clouds just the UFO. Musa Elsheikh and Ahmed Musa had no impediments whatsoever at the moment of the sighting.

I was walking back to my car with my girlfriend and my family when she pointed out something in the sky. I look up and I see two amber/orangish looking lights that are in line with each other. They were moving quite fast and the there was no blinking like an airplane does. They were silent as well. They then turn and go a different direction before disappearing in in the sky/clouds. They became harder to see because it seemed they were now flying away from us. My family also saw the lights!

We saw the UFO reflecting off the moon. It was a saucer shapes metallic craft. It was going up and down left and right really fast it was amazing about 15 people saw it.It had no lights the only reason we saw it is because it was reflecting off the moon.

I witnessed from the terrace of my apartment in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the southern part of the sky a red ball about the size of a quarter of the moon that night fly from east to west at a downward trajectory from the top of the trees about the same height of the moon whiz at a high rate of speed downward and disappear. It was unlike anything I had ever seen and I am a constant watcher of the night skies. It lasted about seven seconds. Planes go by all the time and fly horizontally and look like specs. This was large, came out of nowhere almost as if it came from another dimension. It disappears out of my sight line and although I watched for a while longer did not reappear. I am sixty year old and not prone to fantasies. I love looking at constellations and planets. For instance I can see Orion and Jupiter from my terrace. I worked as an administrative assistant and taught children. I currently take care of my 82 year old mother. When I was young our school had a planetarium which started my fascination with the night sky.
