PITTSFIELD
1980
C. Middleton of Pittsfield and her family were fishing atop Tolland Mountain, just over the border from Sandisfield, when they witnessed an astonishing sight. "There was something hovering right over the trees," Middleton later told the Eagle. "It was round, and had two sets of lights." She observed it long enough to notice that one set of lights went clockwise around the equator of the object, with the other circling it clockwise. The object hung suspended over the treeline, absolutely silent, for about three minutes. Then abruptly as it appeared, it vanished over the mountain, leaving Middleton with a lifelong conviction in the presence of mysterious objects haunting our skies. (Source www.advocateweekly.com)
July of 1981
D. Perrault, along with his father, C., and girlfriend, A, watched an inexplicable ovular object hovering over Pittsfield for about 45 minutes. At first, it seemed like a meteor, shooting across the sky. Then suddenly it stopped. Like the object described by Middleton, this was also ringed around the outside with lights, flashing red and white. "No way it was a plane or satellite - it shot across the sky too fast," Perrault said.
That same summer, a substantially different, but no less intriguing UFO was seen by another Pittsfield man. While walking his dog, he looked up to see the stars blacked out by an extremely large, dark thing in the shape of a triangle. From the bottom he could make out glowing orange lights. As it passed over him, he reported an emotional reaction that seemed quite strange to him later on: "... I didn't panic, nor did I respond as if this was anything other than an ordinary experience. I just ducked my head, pulled on my dog's leash and walked into the night."

A line of lights extending from Pittsfield ma into NY state on Christmas eve at 8.40 pm clear black sky. We saw 35 to 45 UFO's disappear as they arrive at certain point in sky..... Spaced as if landing or docking inside a larger unseen ufo.... hard to believe nothing was reported. (Source Story Submitted to this website)

I take a nightly walk every night down the same street, so I would consider myself fairly familiar with the different land marks of the area. It was a very clear, cool and calm night with lots of stars out, no breeze, low humidity and no clouds in the sky.On this nightly walk I had barely rounded the corner on the block headed away from my house and heading east when I noticed an orange glowing object in the sky. At first I thought it was just a plane, this thought only lasted a few seconds as I realized it was heading in a westerly direction towards me and also ascending very slowly. In this second I stopped and watched it. It was about the size of a street lamp when you are standing under a street lamp but did not shine like a street lamp. In fact, it just glowed and cast no light. It made no sound. Was rectangular in shape with the longer ends being on the top and bottom. The top may have also been bigger. It also had a weird halo underneath it. The color was a very rich orange color. It did not fluctuate in color or intensity. It was hard to tell distance at night but I would say maybe 200-300 yards away from me? Maybe more? I turned around and began to quickly walk home realizing I could not explain what I was seeing. I pulled out my phone and texted my partner that I “See a UFO”.The time of that text was 21:58. I was scared mostly because it appeared like it would fly over me if it continued. I thought about filming it but for some reason didn’t feel like I had time.
As a quickly walked home, keeping my head over my shoulder to watch the object, I turned the corner to the street my house is on I saw the object pulse about 2 times and then shrink in size before completely going out. It then blinked 3 times exactly and was gone. These blinks were not pulses. They were your “off and on” type blinks. I would say the total duration that I saw the object was no less than 3 minutes but no more than 5 minutes. (Source NUFORC.ORG)
