Plainfield, Connecticut Helicopter Chasing A Small Bright Light

Posted: December 30, 2007

Date: Mid summer 1980 Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

I was at my parent's house for a family get-together. My parents, my father's grandparents, my two brothers, and myself decided to go for a late evening walk around the neighborhood. It was a warm, very clear night. During our walk, my brothers and I noticed a helicopter about one thousand feet above the large cornfield adjacent to our neighborhood. Living in a rural area, it was unusual to see low flying helicopters.

We proceeded to stop and stare at the helicopter for awhile. After about 30 seconds or so, we realized the helicopter was chasing a small, bright light around the sky. The small light would sometimes dance near and around the helicopter. Other times, the small light would very quickly dart away from the helicopter, come to an immediate stop in the sky, and remained fixed there until the helicopter flew over to it. It was reasonably obvious that the small light was a real object, since light appeared to be radiating spherically from it.

After the scenario had played itself out for about three to five minutes, the small light suddenly erupted into a large, bright light about the size of the helicopter and disappeared. Shortly afterwards, the helicopter left. During the entire event, we could only hear the sounds of the helicopter. Immediately after the event, we briefly spoke to each other about it but have never discussed it since.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
