Oval over Cicero, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home, when I saw an oval, almost eye-shaped orange, glowing shape in the sky. It caught my eye, and I immediately found myself trying to find a logical explanation for it. Unable to find one, I just kept looking, and it seemed suspended in the air. The object was rather large, and I saw another small one off in the distance, but this one was far enough off to not have much of a shape. It just looked like another star, but orange. At this point, I started to pull over to attempt to get a picture, but before I even came to a complete stop, the larger of the two objects disappeared into the distance at a speed which seemed to be an extremely high rate.

At 7:15 pm I was sitting at my picnic table and seen something that has absolutely changed my life in the sky northwest of my property I seen a huge blimp sized and shaped craft that was brightly lit white no flashing or colors just a bright pure white light in the still blue and clear sky’s exited I ran into the house to get my wife by the time we got back outside it was far away and barely visible then gone. Then about 2 hours later I witnessed it again same place in the sky but this time I watched in amazement for the whole 20-30 second duration as this huge Goodyear blimp shaped and sized craft zoomed away at a speed that made it just disappear into a tiny dot of light then gone. I live within 5 miles of an international airport for over 10 years and see aircrafts all day and night this was no craft that I’ve ever seen outside of a science fiction movie.

As i was getting out of the hot tub (outside) i was looking up in the sky when is seen a fairly bright light moving east to west at a rate of speed that is not a airplane or a satellite...as i followed and wondered what that was, on the same path there were 5 of the same shape/light following, almost looking like a string of pearls. Never seen something moving that fast.Almost every night out in the hot tub star gazing and or watching them (tracking via app) air planes, but never seen this before

21:30 To the NNW, there was a very bright white pulse of light, brighter than any star, for about one second. As the pulse diminished, a white object could be seen, moving NNW, quickly diminishing to the intensity of a star, and then invisible. 21:45 To the North, another bright pulse of white light, but could not detect any movement. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite responsible and sober-minded. PD

One conventionally lit, large aircraft was following a smaller object, which had only one light in the rear, and a soft glow to it, with an elongated, triangular shape, with a cross piece towards the rear of its fuselage. Estimated altitude 1,000ft. They were headed westward, matching speeds until no longer visible from my vantage. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite responsible and sober-minded. PD

September 21st, 2016 Cicero, NY 21:07 Three reddish lights flying in close formation, heading NNE. Estimated altitude 1,000-2,000 feet. Two smaller lights in front, a larger one in the rear. The two front lights moved side to side, "bobbing" back and forth, the rear light stayed on one linear course. There was no flashing or blinking, but the rear light intensified for about 2 seconds. All three continued NNE until no longer visible. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite responsible and sober-minded. PD
