The report, as filed

April 14, 2018; Darien, CT 02:35 AM. At home sitting on witness's roof terrace that has a view of Scott's Cove. Noticed an unusual bright light in the sky and its reflection on the water. Observer thought it was a star or planet so a photo was taken, then it started "zig zagging really fast and stopping for about 40 minutes or so" then flew out of sight. All of this is on on video but the background is too dark to see a reference point. (MUFON)

Darien, CT

I was driving after dropping a friend off late at night and I saw what I thought was a star at first. But the. I realized it was much larger than a star and was about the size of the moon in the night sky. I was confused at first and thought it was a reflection of some sort or a light from someone’s house. But the road I was in is a quite backroad and there is no large lampposts and I was no where near the closest house on top of this it could not be the moon as i could clearly see the full moon to the far left of it. I saw it and instantly got a feeling of dread. I continued to see it until I passed under a few trees soon as I passed it was there for a second and then blinked away. I was not a strong believer until this night and nothing has happened to me since then.except when I got home I remember walking inside but nothing after that and woke up the next morning with just a faint remembrance of it. I’m submitting much later than the actual date it happened as I didn’t know this organization existed until now.
