A family passing through, en route back to New York City, saw the lights, and the wife took out a Canon S95, recorded some grainy footage and (as is inevitable these days) posted it on YouTube. The title of the video: “UFO over Newtown, CT. January, 15, 2011.”
Project Blue Book,
the 1950s-and-’60s-era U.S. Air Force investigation of the phenomenon of “unidentified flying objects,” concluded that 90 percent of sightings had an earthly explanation, and the “UFO over Newtown” did not prove to be one of the elusive 10 percent.So what was it? A wave of swamp gas? A lenticular cloud? A weather balloon? It seems it was a solemn family remembrance.
