Saw red glowing craft hovering directly above sunrise highway around 12:30 am while driving. The craft hovered in place for a while then lifted straight up and zig zagged a little, staying in view. I was able to keep track of it from backseat of car for over 20 minutes, that’s how large this thing was! It was way too big to be a helicopter or plane- it was a giant red glowing object similar to reports and sightings I’ve heard from our area in the past.

Oakdale, NY

Watching television (Seth Meyers Late Night Show) in living room on couch beside shadeless window which overlooks open wetlands. +/- 00:40AM, a bright light green colored glowing sphere about the size of a basketball from my point of view became visible approximately 50' above the ground, perhaps 200' away, instantly appearing against a dark sky. The object descended rapidly below treetop level within a group of trees to approximately 20', made a 90-degree turn and sped off in a southerly direction showing a slight bright white haze on the trailing hemispherical north-facing side, but after perhaps 200' of perfect horizontal travel, the object disappeared or went dark itself. There was no associated noise as would be heard with a drone. It was silent. I ran outside, but no sounds could be heard, no object could be seen. No aircraft in the area at the time. Incredible experience. I wish I had my camera on hand. This is all the information that I can r! ecall.

The object was a deeper red in the middle and an orange on the outer circle. It flashed for a moment expanding its size then proceeding to slowly head Northwest at a moderate pace then changing course upwards, hanging for another moment and then just disappearing. I have a few seconds of video of the event before it vanished. One thing to note there has been a noticeable increase in military activity in the area the last 12 hours, including fighter interceptors and Boeing P-8 recon aircraft, seen earlier in the day.
