Wavering Silver Light Over Wallingford: Eyewitness Sees Large, Rounded Object

What Happened At 8:52 p.m. on a summer evening, a Wallingford, Vermont, resident witnessed an unusual sight in the sky. The eyewitness said they saw a circular object about the size of their house, silver in color and surrounded by a halo or haze. It appeared about 45 degrees above the horizon, ringed by a glowing yellow light.

Movement and Impressions The object moved at varying speeds: fast at first, then slower, then fast again before slowing once more. It traveled up and down, from left to right, and eventually headed north toward North Clarendon or Rutland. The eyewitness said it made no sound, appeared relatively close to the ground, and did not resemble a conventional aircraft. They tried to stop it by waving their hands, but it continued north.

Possible Explanations The eyewitness speculated that the object could have been a large drone or an experimental aircraft, given its size and silence. However, its silver halo and surrounding yellow light are not typical features of commercial drones, so the explanation remains uncertain.

Why It’s Interesting The report describes a rare combination of features: the size of a house, a silver color, a luminous halo, and movement that alternated between fast and slow. Together, they make the object difficult to identify at a glance. The eyewitness also described a sense that “the object was aware of being watched,” adding a psychological dimension to the UAP report. Though unverified, it adds another mystery to NUFORC’s database and invites professional investigation of similar sightings.

Summary The sighting lasted five minutes. The witnesses (in this case, the lone eyewitness) reported no unusual sounds or smells. No video or photographs are available, so the account is limited to the eyewitness’s description. If other reports emerge from the area, they may help clarify what happened.
