Lucy Biggers shared multiple videos on X (formerly Twitter), saying she saw five drones hovering over the Fairfield Train Station around 6:45 p.m.
"No one else noticed them because unless you're looking for them, they just look like planes or drones!" she wrote. "But I swear these were something different!!"
The fixed-wing drones are easily mistaken for small planes.
One Daily Voice reader said she was leaving the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford Thursday evening, Dec. 12 when she saw what she thought was a double star.
"I watched it as I was leaving Hartford and heading south down 91," she said. "I realized there were several of them at different altitudes. I headed over the bridge to Glastonbury/East Hartford and could see at least 6 of them. Some were stationary and some moved. I drove back to West Hartford and could still see them in the sky…some were much higher and fainter. It was very odd."
New Jersey politicians have been urging officials to investigate the unexplained drones that continue to perplex residents.
At a press briefing Thursday, Dec. 12, National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said, "We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.
"The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they’re working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources, using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin.
Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we have not been able to — and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities — corroborate any of the reported visual sightings."
