Teardrop over Seymour, CT

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

The report, as filed

This incident happened during the late fall or winter about 2 years ago around 7pm. My girlfriend got put of work at 6pm from stop and shop in seymour Ct amd came home to my mother's house in seymour on culver st right from work which was only a few minutes away driving. When she got home she asked me what I wanted for dinner and I told her I was in the mood for some burgers from my favorite burger place called Valley Burger Shack which is on south main st in seymour only about 5-10 from where we were but it was starting to get late and the place closes at 8pm so I put in the order and we left the house around 7pm. We were heading down south main st towards Ansonia CT with my fiance driving our toyota camry and me in the front passenger seat. It was dark out at this time and the leaves had fallen off the trees at this time of the year. This road is a one lane road going in each direction woth houses to our left and the naugatuck river to our right with woods on the other side of the river with some houses mixed in. We were almost at our destination when a huge shadow started crossing the road in front of us. When I looked up to see some faint lights and a craft the size of a football field was silently gliding over the road above the house to the left heading over the street going over the river to our right. It was so low it felt like I could throw a rock and hit it being just over the top of the tree line. As soon as I spotted it I point up towards it and said to my girl do you see this spaceship to my amazement with her jaw dropped she answered oh my god yes it is huge and so fucking low as she slowed down the car so we could watch this thing slowly creep across the road and over the river and in the direction of Oxford ct. It lasted no more then 10-15 seconds I didnt even try to find my phone because I was in such awe of what we were seeing I was afraid to miss any part of the experience. It was so low we were able to see details the craft. It had no wings and wasn't a triangle or saucer shape. It had a few lights underneath it but they were really faint and dim. If it was farther up you probably wouldnt see the lights. Its shape is hard to describe. The best I could descibe it because it was so big was sorta tear drop shaped and since it was night and we were seeing it from underneath we could tell it was metallic but wasn't smooth it had alot right angles and detail. If I was to pick a craft it mostly looked like from TV is it resembled the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars but 10 times bigger. From other sitings ive seen online this was significantly bigger and different shaped. The only one I seen online that was bigger was the one in Phoenix but that was a triangle sorta boomerang shape. This was solid from end to end. I couldn't believe something that was this big could be so silent or be able to fly at all. When we rolled the windows down to see if we could hear it there wasnt a sound at all not even a stong breeze sound just nothing. like a balloon floating weightlessly over us. Ive seen strange things in the sky before but I never imagined I would be this close to something this amazing.

On this night I was out on my back deck having an evening cigarette. I was stargazing as I often do and was looking straight up at the constellation Cignus when I saw a very bright bluish light. It was about the size of 4 average stars clumped together as seen from the earths surface. It appeared in one place then disappeared then the same light appeared about 2 degrees to the east. I was facing north. If it was the same object it was moving extremely fast. Much faster than a meteor entering the earths atmosphere. Then it was gone. The night was clear , about 50* with no wind. What I saw was there and was not a reflection or a plane or helicopter. I live under a flight path and see aircraft all day. This, if it was a craft, is something I’ve never seen.

My wife gets out of work at 6:30pm and asks me what where do I want to go for dinner so I tell her lets go to Valley Burger Shack thats only a mile or 2 from our house so she picks me up on her way home and we head to pick up dinner. On our way down South Main St in Seymour CT (the road VBS is on) my fiance is driving and I'm sitting in the passenger seat of our silver 2014 Toyota Camry with our windows half down while we smoke a cigarette. It was a clear fall night with unusually warm weather for this time of year in CT. We are traveling North on the street towards the town of Ansonia. The left hand side of the road has houses and the right side of us has the Naugatuck River running parralel to the road. Out of no where I noticed an enormous shadow engulf the street in front of our car and at the same time my girl also notices this which forced us to look up to see what is creating this. At our surprise amazement and just pure shock and awe we see a flying rectangular craft the size of a large parking lot silently glide just over the tree tops in front of us coning from the left over the houses then cross the road exiting over the Naugatuck River to the right. It was traveling very slow and we were able to watch it for about 15 seconds before it disappeared over the ridge on the other side of the river heading in the direction of the town of Oxford. The craft seemed so low that I thought it was possible to hit it with a rock maybe 100 ft above the trees. The craft did not seem shiny or smooth but instead looked like a dull dark gray metallic color with lots of right angles and detail to the craft. It had very faint white lights positioned under the craft the I could only discribe as being like licence plate lights. They were so faint that you would not notice them if the craft was higher and were only noticed upon us looking up to inspect the ship. With us having our windows half down we were unable to hear any type of sound coming from it. It was as silent as a balloon floating through the air and even seemed to float like a balloon in its movement not slowing down or speeding up just gliding. I thought of trying to find my phone and record it but we where in such shock and amazement at what we where currently viewing that I was afraid I would miss it and not have enough time to achieve video proof unfortunately. At least I had my girlfriend with me who witnessed the same encounter. We were not using alcohol or drugs and we were not impaired in any way. I also thought it was strange that we were the only car traveling on South Main St at the time of the encounter as it was only 645 pm amd was only dark for an hr or 2 and the weather was clear. There are usually many cars on this street at this time but its not uncommon to have a break between cars for a few minutes. This was also a residential area with many houses close together and a some what dense population of people. I never heard anyone else mention seeing this or any news reports about this but I did hear of a story that happened around the same time in Oxford CT the next town over that was the direction the craft was heading. I read on the News app NewsBreak that a lady in Oxford was sitting in her car in her driveway at around 10am when a creature that resembled at 4 ft tree with legs that ran extremely fast in front of her car across her driveway and into the woods. I do not know if these two sightings are related but I do think it is possible seeing that it falls in the same time frame and geographical area.

One fast-moving, blue/white light fell from the sky then zoomed off. Very large and low flying. Looked like a LED comet with no tail.

New pertinent information related to this sighting. Direction of travel was E.S.E.compass heading is approximately 120 degrees. Object flew in a straight line as far as I could see. If it maintained this course it would eventually end up in the close vicinity of Montauk Point, the site of the decommissioned Montauk Air Force base.

At about 20:50 pm EST in Seymour, CT, US I stepped out onto our deck facing roughly NW and saw a circle of lights. Looking closely there appeared to be about 8 lights of multi colors. At quick glance the lights appear to be white almost like a diamond bracelet. As I looked with greater attention I discovered at least 8 of them just sitting there in the air. Very unusual, in my sixties I have never seen anything like it. None appeared to be clearly moving although atmosphere may have created that affect. Looking at them at time I could see several colored light emissions. Some were brighter and closer others smaller and faded due to distance and clouds perhaps. I looked at the 2 clearest ones through a pair of Sears wide angle 40x binoculars and they appear white, initially like an enlarged snowflake, but as I studied it, trying to hold the binoculars steady, the spheres seemed to have horizontal channels across them from top to bottom and appear to be shifting which again may be atmospheric affects. I have taken numerous photos using my 16 megapixel Samsung Galaxy 5 smartphone and its burst shots. In the photos and binocular views there appeared to be a haze surrounding the sphere. I have also captured it via video but none of the shots show much more than white. When enlarged there appears to be rectangular structures in the center but that may be to do with the optics of the camera I suppose. It is now 22:20 and the all are still in place.
