"I was taking a walk outside my home last night. Being a commercial airline pilot with over 30 years experience, I always looked at the sky. But last night I saw a number of orange and red lights approaching from the west. I got my binoculars and called my neighbors to come outside.

The object, by this time was a great deal closer and seemed to be right over route 8, just east of the hospital. The lights were shimmering like distortion from engine heat, but I could not hear any sound. The UFO passed over route 8, cars in both the north and southbound lanes began pulling over and stopping.

The UFO displayed a semi-circular pattern of very bright multi-colored lights.

Five motorists started screaming, as the object became visible, a number of cars lost power and had to pull off the highway. I'm surprised this was not in today's newspaper.

A cover-up I suppose."

Another witness, requesting anonymity, posted the photo he took here:

"Now you heard those motorists on Rt # 8 screaming from outside your home?
Do you still fly or did they finally ground you?"

"Has anyone noticed the increased airplane and helicopter traffic in the West Torrington / Goshen area?
Is there government activity going on that we should be concerned about?
With all of the UFO activity going on this concerns me.

"Yes I live off of Harwinton Ave and yes I'm a retired pilot.
I don't appreciate the rudeness. I'm just stating what I saw."

"WHY would any UFO that just traversed light years to get here have any need for something as mundane as lights?
Turn signals? (If so, at least they're using them!)

Imagine for a moment possessing the technology required to arrive here from the East Cupcake Galaxy.
Do you suppose you'd have to hide and be secretive about your presense? (sic)
Nah! I'd smoke right up Main St., mocking your puny decorations as I go. Or...check out your shopping carts!
HUBBA HUBBA!
Go in peace."
