Circle over Chicopee, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
1900 hours during a snow storm looking in the direction of Springfield, Ma., from Chicopee, Ma. Center to the left or East in the night sky there is a VERY bright object with 3 circular lights in an oval pattern very low in the sky. Bright enough that there is an illumination at almost ground level from the object. Then to the West at a further distance in the night sky there is another similar object in the sky. It does not seem as bright due to the distance. Both objects have been stationary in the night sky for over an hour so far. Craziest thing I have EVER seen. Also, after about 15 minutes or so I noticed cars stopping to observe the Bright object to the east. Also, we started hearing alot of sirens after awhile.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144867). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

A large square white and gray colored object was circling in and out of the clouds over Interstate 91. It was not a cube, but a square shaped object with rounded edges and corners, approximately 50’-60’ long on each side, and about 20’ in height. The underside resembled a bottom of a Lego piece consisting of five dark gray circles. The object did not resemble or fly as any known aircraft, and it was far too large to be a drone of any sort. The object was flying in and out of the clouds in a circular pattern, but it wasn’t consistent. It seemed to be a circling in and out of the clouds in a random circular pattern, changing where it entered and exited the clouds, but remaining in the same general area. Almost as if the “pilot” was having fun flying around. This sighting went on for about five minutes as I drove east on I-90 in Chicopee, MA. It was a partly cloudy day at approximately 4:20pm in late November 2021. To this day I’m still trying to analyze what I witnessed that day. I cannot explain what this object was, but I know I’ve never seen anything like it before, and I will never forget it.

The object was rocket shaped with a sharp nose that had short long fins. It was black and seemed to have an ash or burnt look about the surface. The object was about 20 feet from the passenger side of the car window. It was traveling east to west along the Chicopee River. Its speed seemed slow in a strange unnoticeable way. The object caught my attention because he said,"I think I just saw a UFO". I looked to my right and the object appeared. When I said," Its like a black rocket, he said no it was a bright flash in the sky.

I was at my job. I work at chicopee Wal-Mart. I work outside as a cart pusher, I was standing outside, when one of my coworkers spotted a white silver object. It was flying at a low altitude, so it was easy to watch this object as it moved across the sky. It was a clear day, so there were almost no clouds in the sky. As I watched the object, it faded away and disappeared. This object appeared to be a solid structural craft of some kind. It didn't change color or leave a trail. No other objects came out of it. The object didn't make any noise that I heard. 3 other coworkers reported seeing this object, as well. (( Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

I was standing outside, facing West, and observed 2 round whitish yellow lights, one right behind the other traveling east. There was light cloud cover, so I couldn't see anything other than the lights which caught my attention because they were moving much too slowly to be an airplane or helicopter. Both objects were completely silent. My cell phone totally shut off and my daughter said the tv stopped working. Lights in the house also seemed to flicker and dim for the few minutes the lights moved over the neighborhood. I live close to Westover air reserve base but everything that ever flies by makes some sort of sound, these didn't. Within 1 minute of me first observing the lights I could hear the helicopters start their engines over at the air force base. Within 3 minutes of the helicopters starting they were flying over my house more quickly than I've ever seen, headed in the same direction as the lights. They were totally black military helicopters, which I've never ever seen fly at night. Usually, they're only used in training during the day mostly on weekends as that's when the reservists train. The lights caught my attention at first because of their slow speed and silence, my suspicions were confirmed as soon as I saw the black helicopters proceeding so quickly, as if on a mission, travelling the same exact route that the lights went in.

Was inside. My sister said there was something strange over her house while we were on the phone. I heard something over my apartment around the same time and looked outside to see a triangular shape (even sided) flying overhead.

Probably just a meteor, had a long white tail.
