No of observers: 3

Location: East Killingly, CT, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large saucer shape object moving slowly across the sky, bright illumination which appeared to come from the inside, red light on the bottom part of the saucer, lots of white light on the object

The saucer object was witnessed by myself (legal secretary), my husband (computer salesman) and my daughter (junior in high school). We observed a saucer shape object (by that I mean a classic shaped saucer) which was illuminated from the inside, had a red light at the bottom and lots of white lights around it with a row around the middle. Coming out of the trees it looked like a glowing light when it came into view, crystal clear with no obstructions, we could not believe our own eyes, it looked like a flying saucer, we were paralyzed with shock. We kept saying no this is not right, it must be a blimp or plane or something, but we saw what we saw. It flew in a complete straight line and we followed it for approximately 10 minutes. When it went behind the trees we went looking for it, but it was gone nothing we could not understand were it went it was too big to hide. We are normal people who do not see flying saucers, but I am telling you we know what we saw and unless somebody shows me the object again, it was definetly a flying saucer.
