NUFORC Sighting 98841

Occurred: 2013-06-22 22:00 Local
Reported: 2013-06-23 05:21 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes

Location: North Haven, CT, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

About 8 round amber colored lights ascending from a very low altitude to what appeared to be a few thousand feet. They were over route 5 in north haven.

I drove directly under 3 of them no more then a few 100 feet high and they were just hovering in formation glowing extremely bright as if on fire.

Some never moved while a few of the lights flew around and appeared to interact with eachother in pairs doing circles around eachother at very slow speeds.

They were definitely not airplanes or helicopters because there was no sound and the light was a color and brightness like I never saw on an aircraft.

I circled the block after watching for about 10 minutes to go get a closer look and they were gone.

I pointed them out to others who saw it too, it even brought local traffic to a crawl as people looked up.

I never reported something like this before and I'm not sure what I saw but I can confidently saw it was not an aircraft I know of.
