Lake George, NY

I was in Lake George, NY, for bike week and on June 5th. Approximately 2130, my two friends and I were sitting in a park waiting for the fireworks to begin. I looked to the north and saw a redish/orange light all of a sudden that wasn’t there a few minutes ago. I watched the light as it moved very slowly across the sky. Then all of a sudden the movements became very rapid and started moving up and down and all around ….then it just stopped. I asked my two friends next to me if they see it and they had also noticed it. We watched for a few more minutes and then is slowly sank behind the trees in the horizon. About 10-15 to fifteen minutes later it reappeared to the south of us….many many miles from where it was originally seen. It seemed to hover and then move slowly and then it sped up and stopped. It stayed there until the fireworks began and then seemed to mover directly over-head of them. It stayed there and seemed to “watch” what was going on until the fireworks ending and just disappeared by seemingly moving higher up in the sky until it just disappeared It never came back.

Lake George, NY

My wife and I went for our usual coffee run up to Lake George in our car and I was driving we were heading north up Canada street when I noticed a orange/red glow in the sky I said to my wife (look someone is camping on the mountain with a camp fire) than we both realized that it was moving, we turned left by the school and stopped in the road and watched as it went over Lake George village, we were worried that it was a airplane with engine trouble, so we went right to warren county airport but it was all quiet, we went home called the warren county sheriff the officer said it was most likely a Chinese kite with a candle, NO WAY it went all the way across the sky from over the mountain from the north west to the south east in a controlled flight in a general heading to the airport.

Lake George, NY

At 10:03 p.m. myself, a former law enforcement agent, and my boyfriend, a high school teacher, observed a string of lights in the sky from the Assembly Point peninsula. The lights looked like a string of white Christmas lights that were twinkling brightly and then dimmed while gaining more distance upward. They seemed close at first, and we thought they were remnants of fireworks we heard earlier, but they continued traveling and dimming with distance. I tried to get my telescope to focus in on them, but couldn't in time. The sighting lasted between 7-10 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
