Southbury	2000 October 23	A witness noticed a solid, bright light in the east sky. The day before, he read a report stating that most people mistake UFO's for Venus because they do not expect the planet to be so bright. He ruled out that the light was probably Venus. He saw a second light, lower than Venus and to the right. Dimmer, and smaller, but bright nonetheless, and solid. He looked at the sky with concentration. Not a cloud in sight for miles, everything perfectly clear. He looked at the moon which appeared to be in the south. It was a crescent moon. This is when he saw the light. A bright, flickering object in the sky off in the distance. It was on the left side, lower than Venus, to create an equilateral triangle. He stopped and stared at the "UFO", it clearly wasn't a planet, or an airplane. In fact as he looked at the object, he figured that it was blinking about 4 times a second. The entire object wasn't blinking. It had other lights, and only a portion of lights, on the bottom half of it, were blinking. He wasn't walking anymore, and noticed that it was moving back and forth slowly and unsteadily. Then came an airplane. In a relative distance to the UFO. He have seen strange lights in the sky before, but this is the first time he believes it couldn't be anything else, not a flare, a plane, a planet, the moon, a balloon, or spotlight. It was some sort of craft. - NUFORC

As it came directly in front of him, it seemed to make a 90 degree bank and stop. The lights changed color from red to golden yellow. It remained stationary and very stable. He guessed the distance to be about 100-150 yards away. he watched the lights for roughly 30 minutes, then the object rolled back 90 degrees to a straight and level orientation. The lights changed back to red. The object then accelerated, banked left and disappeared over the western horizon. - NUFORC

They appeared to be large spheres and moved across the sky in about 20- 30 seconds. They appeared to be at an altitude above small planes but below high flying jets. Sometimes they pulsate and sometimes not. When they do show up it is usually in clusters within a 10-20 minute segment as was this sighting. Even with binoculars they still appear as orbs. - NUFORC
