The report, as filed

The floating object appeared South of my location the sun directly overhead on a cloudless sky . No trees to block vision , not looking through glass or window. Easily seen . It appeared to be very large and appeared to be less than a mile away. Hovering approximately 400-500 ft above trees in the distance .The objects shape was like nothing I’ve ever seen . Large flat top ,left side straight down and smooth right side appeared to be an upside down staircase and tapered down near the bottom. The side that I saw was completely silver in color and with no movement disappeared with blue sky’s where it was . At that moment I told the other witness to turn around and to see it appear again in the same location when we both saw it appear again and disappear again with no movement at all . Approximately 20 seconds and never saw it again . A friend of mine who lives right near the location of what I saw has a motion sensor video close up and very good quality taken! week or so earlier . Very very interesting. I’ve never seen a video this close up .This must be seen . I will have him post it .

Stafford Springs, CT

As we got under it, it appeared to have a glowing pale light underneath but was still a bright red all around and looked round like a ball or slightly oblong and kept slowly moving as we drove the opposite way under it. My fiancé was driving too fast and the road was busy so we didn't get a chance to turn around before we couldn't see it anymore. Maybe someone else saw it too because a lot of people were driving at this time.
