BRISTOL -- A Nicholas Drive resident reported to police Sunday that he saw an unidentified flying object about 1 a.m. Sunday hovering near the Douglas A. Beals Senior-Community Center.

The resident said that while he was walking his dog, he looked up and something that looked like a bird with flapping wings -- but it was the size of an ultralight airplane and produced "a whirring, almost mechanical sound."

There were no other reports of anyone sighting the object.
