Colorful spinning ferris-wheel-shaped object seen in Northwest sky.

Seen in Northwest sky was a bright, flashing ferris-wheel-type shape just a tiny bit bigger than other stars.

It was facing north/south and we saw it at an angle.

We got our binoculars to get a (somewhat) closer inspection of it.

It was spinning and flashing brilliant rainbow colors and appeared to move quickly to the side or up and down in micro-second bursts about a quarter of a centimeter or so.

There were also little flashes of tiny white lights to the right and to the left of it... I saw 2 to the right and 1 on the left.

We live close to Westfield Air Force Base and Barnes Airport in Westfield, MA, and there were 3 planes that came from that direction and went directly toward it and one dipped below the horizon and disappeared, and the second came about 5 minutes afterwards and flew higher at it and then dipped below the horizon. A third plane went by and continued northward.

There was definitely SOMEthing strange going on.

Large, stationary object app. 100ft above ground, with lights

At about 9:30pm on 26th March, I was driving east along Route 27 between exists 62 and 63 when I spotted a large object in the sky. It was on the north side of the highway and appeared to be stationary. I watched it as I drove for about 9 or 10 seconds, but it did not appear to move.

I asked my father, who was sitting in the passenger seat and was more familiar with the area what it was, and he said it looked like a UFO.

The object looked like a very large plane, with illuminated windows and some lights around the sides. I could not make out the outline of the object, but it seemed to be somehat triangular. It was about 100 feet off the ground and about double the size of a large aircraft. It made no noise. When I returned to that spot in the daytime, I saw no structure that large that it could be.

The area is undeveloped and flat with no large structures of any kind except for two gas or water tanks about three quarters of a mile from the highway, but they had nothing that looked like windows and they were small and spherical.
