(NewsNation) —Something unexplained is happening over a reservoir in Connecticut.

On the back deck of a community center in Fairfield County, a woman named Diane says she noticed a light in the sky, potentially an unidentified aerial phenomenon, during what was otherwise a routine shift in April 2022.

“I’m always a skywatcher, so I was wondering if it was a plane. But the way it was moving, there’s no way it was a plane,” Diane exclusively told NewsNation’s Brian Entin.

She’s the second witness to come forward this year after a reported close encounter with a UFO near a Fairfield County reservoir in April 2022.

In an exclusive interview last month, Robert Klein, a 25-year law enforcement veteran, told NewsNation’s “Banfield” about a similar incident, during which he encountered a spherical object approximately the size of a “Mini Cooper,” hovering just 30 feet from his patrol car.

Ben Hansen, host of the Discovery+ show “UFO Witness,” has been investigating the suspected UFO sightings in Connecticut and says several more witnesses have come forward.

“I was absolutely impressed by the impeccable testimony of each of these witnesses,” Hansen said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Banfield.” “The credibility and the fact that they’re describing such similar things.”

Hansen has analyzed air traffic and determined that Diane’s sighting could not have been an airplane.
