CONNECTICUT — Residents in Connecticut document an extraordinary number of UFO encounters, but no one had been giving much thought to what effect all those spaceman sightings are having on our health.
That changed following a Freedom of Information Act request from a British tabloid that unearthed a report by the United States Defense Intelligence Agency, dating from 2010.
The report — “Anomalous Acute And Subacute Field Effects on Human and Biological Tissues” — is a corker. It investigates injuries to “human observers by anomalous advanced aerospace systems,” drawing upon recently unclassified material. Some people suffering from strange burns and peculiar neurological ailments have also reported close encounters with UFOs, and the report tries to connect the dots.

According to the document, the “biophysical characteristics” of the injuries are well understood, and aren’t rocket science. The “energy related propulsion systems” the DIA analysts reckon caused the burn injuries and neurocognitive effects most definitely are, however.
Propulsion systems like one a Westbrook resident said were visible beneath an orange globe flying overhead around 4:30 in the afternoon on Dec. 15:

“I took my big telescope outside which I never do and I saw something in the distance and I knew right away it was something not of this world it was changing colors yellow red orange and then it was changing size so I had my cell phone and I followed as best as I could with this telescope and my cell phone and the footage that I got it is unbelievable it’s truly amazing because if you slow down the video you see that there’s actually almost like a propulsion underneath…”
The Connecticut photographer entered his observations into the National UFO Reporting Center database, which keeps track of all the strange noises and bright lights attributed to UFOs — or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, as the cool kids now call them.
Two weeks later, a Burlington resident reported another too-close-for-comfort encounter, commuting home about 6:45 p.m. The UAP was moving slowly, and “I ultimately got to a point where I could see that the light was actually on a craft of some kind and I ended up driving ‘under’ it. I was looking up at it so intently that I worried that I would not be able to continue to drive appropriately, so I pulled off the road into a small parking lot so that I could get a better look. The craft was shaped like a 3-armed boomerang, with blinking lights on the ends.”

Dog owners know: their four-legged friends are highly attuned to when the status of the neighborhood quo changes. A Danbury resident said canine companions throughout the area and all still inside their homes began barking (“unusual this time of night”) as glowing white balls appeared in the sky and began moving erratically on Feb. 4 around 11 p.m. for eight minutes.
The Danbury homeowner said there was “an aura or haze” around the objects, and was not the only sky watcher to make that observation about the unidentified objects over the past few months. Two nights later in Stamford a resident reported the same “aura or haze” around “pulsating flashing red blue green lights” before they disappeared after 15 minutes, shortly after midnight.
“There was an aura or haze around the object” spotted about 500 feet above a Watertown home on Feb. 21 around 8:30 p.m. as well. Maybe the haze is caused by a cloaking device on the fritz, which would explain an awful lot.
As frightening as all these hazy, flashing colored lights can be, the real terror kicks in when they start to make some noise. About 10 minutes before 8 p.m. last New Year’s Eve, a Shelton resident wrote that the ring of lights they saw sounded like “there was a helicopter trying (to) land on my apartment it was so loud, my ears began to ring.”

The widespread use of drones in suburban neighborhoods doesn’t make the job of separating alien spacecraft sighting wheat from terrestrial hobbyist chaff any easier.
A Wilton resident stepped outside to grab a smoke around midnight on Jan. 20 when, “Right above the tree line I see what at first I think is a very large drone. I think my brain registered it as a drone because of the flight path and height. It appeared to be very low to the ground and moving slow. It almost hovered or drifted like a drone would.”
But as it moved closer, the observer realized it was closer in size to a “large plane,” shaped like a triangle, and “moving slowly at a steep ascent yet the trajectory doesn’t make sense with airports in the area.”
That triangle shape is a recurring theme. Mathematicians say triangle geometry is “filled with beautiful results and unexpected connections.” Occultists say they are a “summoning symbol. The UFO data say they may be ET’s favorite ride.
A Lisbon resident spied a triangle-shaped craft eight times, complete with flashing red and white lights, over a six-month period, before reporting a visit on Jan. 27 that lasted about five minutes.
The one that appeared on Mar. 9 at 6:38 p.m. was a noisy, “massive black triangle with curve corners, a red, yellowish, and blue round set of lights under each side,” according to a Harwinton resident. It hovered overhead for about three minutes.
“Since it was dark out and the craft was black, I believe I was only able to see it because of the lights underneath it and being underneath it as well,” the woman wrote. “They were not blinding, so I could see the entire shape of the craft which hovered over and then very very slowly moved completely over roof then gone in seconds.
“Needless to say, I was in awe.”
The resident, who identified herself as a 66-year-old grandmother, said she has been unable to get a full night’s sleep since the encounter, “not through fear, but the unbelievable experience I was lucky enough to have.”
Maybe the DIA will be adding insomnia to its list of anomalous advanced aerospace system encounter symptoms.
