Pine Bush, NY

Date: August 19, 2019 Time: approx. 23:00 EST Location: Ulster County, NY, low in the sky between Burlingham, NY, and Walker Valley, NY, Sighting area: about 10 mins West of Pine Bush, NY, looking West Sighting duration 5-10 mins. Description: Seen just above the tree tops at a distance of approx. 2-3 miles, a bright flashing light, rapidly changing colors. Larger and brighter than a star, and not flashing regular FAA lights (as I observed the object a normal plane did fly overhead for contrast). Lots of stars out, too, but this looked nothing like a star. Mediocre quality iPhone video taken that, at least, shows the rapid cycling of the flashing lights. Viewed through binoculars, however, the distant object almost appeared spherical, and the different colored rapid-cycling lights were much more obvious. The object appeared motionless until it drifted away south and was gone from view behind tall trees nearby.

The picture is a bit shaky but you can see a big bright object flying over that barn. I estimated it to be about 4000 ft up. It was sort of saucer-shaped with a black bottom and a bright white dome top. It had no flashing lights, no red lights, no blue lights, or anything like that. I was driving along, and it went out of sight behind the tree line. I'm sending the photo that I took, and a pic that I created on Paint. I drew the picture before looking up any other photos because I didn't want my memory to be corrupted.

Pine Bush, NY

Son was playing with neighbor's kids in the backyard, when they all observed two large oblong fuzzy shapes that appeared to be glowing yellow-orange from within. Tilted at about a 20-degree angle, the two objects flew slowly and silently in formation from north to south. Son and friends observed objects for a few seconds, but when my son ran around behind a tree to take a picture, objects had disappeared.
