Circle over East Haddam, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It appeared to be illuminated white with a light pastel green tint to it. The object left no trail of any sort nor could I hear sound. The size can only be speculated as visually it was approximately 25% of the size of the visual moon at this given time of day, which was fairly large. Could not determine distance, but appeared to be well w/in our atmosphere as it shot across sky on a straight line. I knew immediately that I had seen some sort of UFO, whose origin is the question…. Admittedly a lifelong believer but never a witness until now. It could be “ours” but doubt it. The intent of the E.T.’s is probably the question we might not want the answer to.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115543). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

4 adults witnessed a string of white lights to the West against a dark sky. The lights were moving very slowly right to left, observed for about 30 seconds or less and then slowly faded out. The lights moved in unison together, no movement among themselves. Sky was clear and dark. No blinking was observed.

I was leaving a friend's house around 9:40 pm. He lives on a large farm with wide open night sky view. Sky was clear, stars present and 3/4 moon full. I saw what I thought was a plane approaching from the northwest of the farm because it was a large white light moving slowly towards our direction. Something about it seemed odd though, because no sound and no green or red lights were blinking around it. It also seemed very large and a bit too low for a commercial plane. I continued to watch and told my friend to come outside and watch with me, because something seemed odd about it. He immediately was able to see it, as it stayed on a path towards southeast. We both commented that it seemed to slow when above his house. Again, I noticed no sound coming from it, nor navigational blinking lights one usually sees. He mentioned something seemed a bit odd about it, so we continued to watch it move in a southeast direction across the skyview of the farm and past h! is house. We continued to think it would eventually show itself in a way we could identify it as a plane, but then it just blinked out of existence while still quite bright, low and close to us. There were no clouds and it had not moved far enough away from us that it should have dissapeared from view. It continued to be quite large, silent, moving slowly. We considered satellite, but too low and then agreed there was something incredibly odd about its brightness, its slowed down movement as it got closer, and how it blinked out of existence, as if the light went off. However, the farm was bright enough from moonlight, and the sky bright enough as well, had there been a craft with a light gone out, you could have still seen the craft. And surely, we would have heard it like we do any other plane going over head at that close a range. Something felt odd and we agreed we had witnessed something that we couldn't quite explain.

The incident was not directly witnessed by human observers but captured on a motion-activated TC20 Trail Camera. We have emailed the AVI file of the event. To be honest, we are not sure this is genuinely unidentifiable. It could be some kind of reflection on the camera lens, but we haven't seen anything like this before and the image seems to have dimensionality to it.

Witnessed 25+ lights, single file, heading west to east, the beginning of the live was evenly spaced, towards the end the lights were bunching up near each other or were spread farther apart. No sound, solid light, could not judge altitude, therefore could not estimate speed, took approximately 25- 30 seconds to cross the sky from west to east.

I was driving around 3pm and saw it in the sky a huge circle/ flash in the sky then it was gone. It lasted maybe 2 seconds. Very, very white and big object with flash. The passenger was with me and we both didn’t know what it was. No other explanations or anything in the sky on a clear day that would suggest it could have been something else. We same to the conclusion that we saw a ufo.
