Circle over West Suffield, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Definitely not planes or helicopters, as I see airport traffic all the time. They moved fast at first slowed down and stopped, I ran inside to call my 19yr old son & grab my cell phone. When I came out of house with my cell phone, I saw 2 which were smaller, due to having moved to a further proximity now and more red in color now moving left to right they stopped and then seemed to wiggle and went straight away (NORTH) from us extremely fast & got very small & disappeared in seconds.

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.

Looking out a window a trees blowing during a windy day suddenly saw a large triangle shaped object just in the distance. It was descending straight down in the sky and I could see an odd metallic gray to it. It continued to descend straight down and suddenly whisked away and disappeared.

I looked up and saw three bright white dots that looked like extremely bright stars in the shape of a triangle. They stayed in their formation but one by one they got dimmer and faded away until they were all gone.

Driving home on Ratley road in West Suffield, my husband and I saw on the left side of the road in a field 3 large triangle objects with orange lights. They were hovering about 100 feet from the ground, DEAD SILENT-and as we kept driving down the road they increased in height and headed North West. I had an instant gratification of fear, for I have never encountered such a suspicious craft. It looked like a SIFI movie.

I was outside because the bear knocked over my trash cans. There is a large horizon where I can see 300 degrees on the back side of my house. I saw something triangular with three lights near each corner and it moved slowly across the horizon on an ark. I saw it from about 5 miles away in the sky. It did not look like any plane I have ever seen in the night sky.

LAYING IN BED LOOKING OUT WINDOW AND SAW A BRIGHT FLASH TRAILING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. IT APPEARED GREENISH IN COLOR TO ME, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SHOOTING STARS AND THIS WAS A DIFFERENT COLOR THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN. ALSO SHOOTING STARS THAT I'VE SEEN HAVE ALWAYS APPEARED TO BE HIGH IN THE SKY, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT IVE SEEN ANYTHING THAT I THOUGHT COULD'VE ACTUALLY LANDED OR BURNED UP CLOSE TO GROUND, IT REALLY SEEMED TO GO INTO THE TREE TOPS. I WONDER IF IT WAS SOME SORT OF METEORITE THAT MADE IT TO THE GROUND, BUT SEEING ON HERE THAT OTHERS APPARENTLY SAW THE SIMILAR OCCURENCE FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
