LITCHFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Authorities in northwestern Connecticut say they didn't find anything after a state trooper and another person reported a large object falling out of the sky in Litchfield.

The Republican-American of Waterbury reports that a person driving in Litchfield at about 2 a.m. Tuesday reported that a green, glowing object the size of a whale fell from the sky and crashed into Bantam Lake. Officials say that at about the same time, a state trooper 10 miles away in Warren called dispatchers to report that something fell out of the sky and landed near Bantam or Morris.

Morris fighters made several passes up and down the lake in a boat looking for a possible plane crash, but didn't find any debris.

Authorities called off the search, leaving the mystery unsolved.

I'm seriously so tempted to go check this out right now, it's like a thirty minute drive from me.

it's more probable that the UFO was merely a time machine from the future that veered off it's course through the fourth dimensional space-time. then when it crashed into the lake, the people in it were gonna drown and shit so they beamed their asses back through the space-time continuum to reappear at a different time and place. hence, nothing in the lake.

"unsolved mystery" my ass. seems pretty obvious to me.

I've seen a UFO come down in the same general area before, too! we are on the verge of an impending alien invasion, and we Nutmeggers must band together to make sure that it doesn't happen.

This probably happened in lakes all over the world, and on December 21st they're all going to emerge and kill us all. Duh.

Whales can be vastly different sizes depending on their species, so God knows what kind of whale they're talking about

You realize a meteor the size of a whale hitting Earth is rare right?

bantam lake is pretty small. if a whale sized glowing object fell into the lake every single person who lives on the lake would know exactly what happened

i hope the cloverfield monster doesn't attack my grandparents, they live like 10 mins from there

if a meteor the size of a whale (I'm assuming here that they mean a Sperm Whale or a Blue Whale for an enormous size comparison) hit the earth, especially in Bantam lake which has houses all around it, it would have been much more than just a quick news article; it would have done some considerable damage.

That lake would have been completely fucked if it was a meteor. It also wouldn't have been green.

I guess it could have been green depending on what it was made up of but all I'm saying was it wasn't a rock or it wasn't the size of a whale. One of the two.

fret not; I'm assembling a resistance force to be ready to go when this monster comes topside.
