Disk over Burlington, CT

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Saw 6 hovering way up in the sky. We decided to pull over and follow them with the car to get a video. One started smoking, and as we turned a corner and came to a clearing (.5 seconds later) the disks had vanished. All we got on camera was the smoke left in the air from the craft.

I initially noted a very bright light in the sky that I have never seen before on my commute home. It was unclear how high it was in the sky and I first thought maybe it was a light on a tower. As i drove closer to where it seemed to be, I realized that it was moving in the sky. I ultimately got to a point where I could see that the light was actually on a craft of some kind and I ended up driving "under" it. I was looking up at it so intently that I worried that I would not be able to continue to drive appropriately, so I pulled off the road into a small parking lot so that I could get a better look. The craft was shaped like a 3-armed boomerang, with blinking lights on the ends. It was moving slowly and quietly in the sky and I finally lost sight of it when it moved away.

Burlington, CT

One night, me and some friends went to a local haunted cemetery in a small town in CT, famous for it's legend of the "Green Lady" it was around 12:30am. The road for this cemetery is on a dirt road in the middle of the woods. We turned down the road and proceeded to the cemetery. Coming around a corner there was a massive object hovering directly over the trees shooting some sort of light into the woods next to us. The object was in the shape of a disk, it had a radius of about id say 35ft. It had multiple colored lights of blue, green, red, and yellow arohnd the whole craft, the color of the beam it projected into the woods was yellow. We were all in absolute awe, and not to mention scared out of our minds. The craft didn't stay long once we came into view around the corner, it probably only stayed 10-12 seconds and the when it went away it just shot off in a diagnal line up and across the sky, when it did so it did not make any noise whatsoever. We tried to follow it by going onto the main road and started heading in the direction it went. We could see it off in the distance but was soon out of sight completely. Two out of the three witnesses, myself included, are in the United States Army. All have graduated high school. None of us drink alcohol at all, and have never tried any sort of drugs. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD
