The report, as filed
Me, my girlfriend her mom, my two kids and my girls mom and her brother were watching the fireworks. They abruptly stopped due to malfunction. We were in the hills of Naugatuck, ct. we decided to start walking home after about 5 min because they were short and hadn’t known at the time what happened. In the sky we seen a glowing object we thought was a drown but was moving quick. It was circling around and around. Then stopped where I was able to pull out my phone camera and record. I recorded for 15 seconds until my battery was dying I looked down for one second and heard everyone on the street screaming, “did you see that”. It became really bright white and then streaked in the sky and disappeared. Amazing. If you zoom into the video you can see the energy around it. Very cool night. The kids were crying they were very shaken up. The colors didn’t get on video but was orange red and purple white and blue.

I am an experienced pilot and flight instructor, so seeing things in the sky is normal to me. What isn’t normal is how these two aircraft moved and hovered. Driving up Route 8 North through the S-turns before Naugatuck, I saw two white circular objects in the sky. They just stayed stationary for about 5-8 minutes before slowly beginning to move Westbound. They maintained equal distance apart and went the same speed when moving. The shape, white color illuminated by the rising sun, hovering and movements just seemed off and unlike standard aircraft.

A short time later approximately a half an hour a very large very loud helicopter with a spotlight on the front flew over my house in the same direction the UFO went.

I went outside with my dog. It was sunny with few clouds. The time was 17:30. I heard a helicopter, and looked up. A white helicopter with two rotors was going overhead. The helicopter was very low; I would estimate 150 feet off the ground. There were no markings on the helicopter. As I looked at the white copter a black oval object flew into my view. The object was small maybe six feet in length. I could see the sun glinting off of this object. The object flew directly at the white helicopter. I thought that it would collide with it. At the last moment the object veered away. It flew east up over the other building in our condominium complex then quickly veered south towards the Naugatuck State Forest at great speed. I continued down the hill with my dog to the end of our road. At that point, an unmarked single rotor black helicopter flew towards the Naugatuck State Forest following the path of the object.
