Here are some of the most eventful accounts that have been reported in 2019:

A Farmington resident said, "One big mothership that emitted two smaller crafts, all changing colors. The two of us saw 3 odd looking lights in the sky. We were trying to see if they were moving or not, and they were only hovering. About 1 minute later, we saw one of the smaller crafts start to speed up really fast, stop and hover, then continued to speed away and disappear completely.

The second smaller craft did the same exact thing. But then, we saw a HUGE light, much bigger than the two smaller crafts combined. The bigger craft actually seemed to have emitted the smaller two objects actually. The big one moved only slightly, but then started to speed up quickly, disappearing moments after. On all the crafts, there were these triangular lights, flashing around the craft, red, white, and the craft itself kept on changing from a yellow light to a white light."

And this from a Wolcott resident, "Chevron shaped UFO with 2 very bright lights on the front flying west to east. I was looking out my window then I saw 2 very bright lights through the tree line and they started moving up and closer until I could see them flying right over my driveway, the UFO made barely any noise and it was flying west to east and at the time I saw it the UFO couldn’t have been more a thousand feet off the ground."

In Shelton a resident said, "Around midnight, I came out to my front porch. In between the trees I noticed two bright white lights with a band of five to eight smaller lights under it. The lights hovered above the tree lines without a sound and it was illuminating the dark road (there are no street lamps on the road). It seemed to be getting closer to ground very slowly. Then the motion light detectors went on at my house as well as the neighbor's. At this point, I went inside."

In Branford an observer said, "From western sky a bright white light was observed meandering and hovering at a very low altitude over the water as it approached and flew over the shoreline. When viewed overhead, it appeared to be shaped like a cylinder with wings attached. One wing was tipped with a red light, while the other side had a green light. The craft was humming audibly and proceeded to fly easterly towards North Branford, disappearing over the tree line."

And in Bristol a person said, "Ball of light UFO at incredible speeds, turns then vanished. I was standing on the sidewalk near a park and I looked up and saw an extremely bright circular UFO going at incredible speeds towards the tree line and then it took a left 90° turn instantly and vanished about 2 seconds later. It was incredible."
