Un white UFO changing colors in Connecticut

Summary

In February 1967, two witnesses in Torrington, Connecticut, observed a bright white object that appeared as bright as a flashlight. Over time, the object changed colors to red, white, yellow, and orange. Although mostly stationary, it suddenly moved quickly southward and disappeared. One witness used a telescope and described it as triangular with an outer ring and lights at the center. The description suggests an unusual celestial or aerial phenomenon.

The Air Force responded that Venus might have been responsible, citing the planet's brightness and position. However, the witness noted unusual color changes and movement, which didn't match a star. The official response didn't fully resolve the uncertainty, and the witness remained interested in a clearer explanation.
