Trooper, motorist: Mysterious object fell from sky

Litchfield, Connecticut- Firefighters this week responded to a 2 a.m. report of a mysterious object falling into Bantam Lake.

 

The object cast a greenish glow, police said, causing concern that a small plane had crashed. But the firefighters found nothing.

The object could have been a meteor, which glow as they streak through the atmosphere, a police dispatcher said Thursday. 

The Republican-American of Waterbury reported  that a person driving in Litchfield around 2 a.m. Tuesday reported that a green, glowing object the size of a whale fell from the sky and crashed into Bantam Lake.
