Nope. Still not quite there.

Plausible

Green, glowing object falls in Bantam Lake
UFO witnessed by motorist, trooper

LITCHFIELD — An unusual report in the eerie overnight hours rousted firefighters in Bantam and Morris from sleep: A large, green object fell from the sky into Bantam Lake.

It glowed, dispatchers were told.

It was huge — the size of a whale, they heard.

says in the comment section that some other people saw similar bright green objects in completely different areas of the country....Gas City IN, White Plains NY and Detroit although it is hard to tell if they are all talking about the same day since the actual [alleged] event happened on 4/10 and not 4/12. :dunno:

LITCHFIELD — As the buzz about the glowing green object that reportedly fell into Bantam Lake around 2 a.m. Tuesday, April 10 entered day two —and went international — the lark of a UFO story took on a more serious tone and also saw its silly side embellished.

So what was it? The answer comes from professional meteorologists. According to the National Weather Service, there was a meteor shower that morning.

I have looked and looked for this report here:

Anyone else with better knowledge of how to find a meteor shower report?

Another lengthy excursion into what's up (or down) in Bantam Lake, from the Litchfield County Times:

Week Two on the Bantam Lake UFO (or Meteorite): No, the Dead
Fish Weren't From This, Yes, 'Smoking Gun' Is Investigating ...

..Hitchhikers...IMO

"Yeah. Listen, I'm Zaphod Beeblebrox, my father was Zaphod Beeblebrox the Second, my grandfather Zaphod Beeblebrox the Third..."
"What?"
"There was an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine."

Litchfield County Times again, this time rather stating the obvious:
