Formation over Long Beach (Long Island), NY

The report, as filed

To whom it may concern , on 4/13/15 looking south westerly around 9 pm at the night sky in Long Beach, NY, I witnessed a very spectacular unidentifiable event that I have never seen in my 48 yrs of life. This was without question, something that must be from another world. The orange lights looked as if it was a huge fountain of the largest fireworks ever that were stopped, (freeze framed) for 10-15 seconds. Suddenly they started moving forming a not so perfect circle, then forming a v-shape, then a not so perfect line. Then one by one disappeared. I have never witnessed a ufo before but now I have. I am true believer and their were several witnesses around me. BTW, the Long Beach Herald investigated and assured that there were no Chinese lanterns sent up anywhere that night. Even if there was, this way too far and were controlled.... ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Yes Peter it was 100% the 14th. I just went back and checked my records because it was right after my coaches meeting. Yes, you may use my videos just leave my full name out please. ((END ADDENDUM))
