Triangle over Batavia, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On the night of November 7, 2015, my husband and I were driving along going through East Pembroke, NY when we saw a strange set of lights as well as strange shape. The road was Indian falls road. They looked a white color. This object seemed to be in the shape of a triangle. We had decided to pull over to try to get a closer look at it. My husband tried to take pictures but he couldn’t get the camera to zoom any further. We had seen it about five minutes before it disappeared. This object traveled very low to the ground, made no noise and moved about thirty miles per hour if even that. Wife's report. PD

The rectangle lights were in a straight line, with approximately five or six rectangles in a row with no spacing between. These lights did not look like the "Starlink Satellite" images or video, those looked like white dots, what I saw did not. I was looking north out my front window, and they moved in a horizontal west to east direction. The month and year were August 2022, I do not remember what day. The time was just before the eastern sky began to get light, but again, I do not remember the exact time, it was a year ago. What I saw went slow and steady in a straight line with no zig-zagging. It lasted under a minute before the nearby trees obscured my view. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to grab a camera.

I’m a skeptical believer. But I’ve never seen anything that defined a phenomenon until earlier this year. Driving home from Canada, my boyfriend was driving and I was looking out the window at the sunset. I caught a craft that managed to cross the entire sky in under 3 seconds. The craft was cone shaped with lights on it, and was approximately the height and distance of a landing plane. The speed was what was shocking. I’m a scientist, and the speed that this craft crossed the sky and disappeared was bewildering. I was in shock for a few minutes after. I knew it couldn’t have been any sort of man driven craft due to how fast it was going, and it was a miracle I saw it. I was completely sober and wide awake as well. Even though the sighting only lasted seconds, I can visualize every detail.

I was driving from East Pembroke to Batavia on Main street. Black, triangular craft flew overhead towards Batavia. Flashing white lights on back, flashing red light in center. Roughly the size of a car or perhaps up to the size of a jet. Tilted on its left axis. Moving left and right. Flew past a second stationary white object not moving at all. The triangle was moving very slowly. It was too slow to be a jet, too quiet to be a plane, too big to be a drone. Also did not look like a plane. If anything it looked like a huge drone. We saw 10+ lights in the sky that night and there were 2 that were particularly weird. We got to our friends house in Batavia and I texted a friend about it. My friend then sent me a few pictures of the same object witnessed by a friend of his. I saw it, my girlfriend saw it, and my girlfriends mom saw it while we were in the car and all agreed it was really weird. Then my friends friend who I don't even know saw it and took pictures. The friend of a friend also stated that the object's lights were changing colors in front of them which was backed up by the fact that the picture they sent had 1 green and 1 pink light on the back. The red light in the center was still the same color though, and we're 99% sure it had to be the same object. Shortly after, we heard a helicopter heading towards its location, but didn't get a look at it. We also saw multiple other suspicious objects that night, but nothing un-explainable the way that one was.

it started as me my wife, and my 11 year old grandson was taking a walk. we heard a chopper, and it came into view.. Suddenly, we noticed a large round bright white light moving steady without making any sound at all, other than the helicopter that was staying in a steady speed behind the craft, at a distance of about 100 yards. It was like the helicopter (was not) chasing the bright white light, but rather flying in formation by using distance behind the craft. We all got a very good look at this thing, and as it passed over us. I could faintly see a gray round disc craft!!!! I can say this for sure. I never really believed fully that there were aliens, as well as UFO's, but I do believe it now, as I saw one!!!! With my own eyes..

On Tuesday, November 21st, at around 9 PM at night while driving my friend home, she spotted 3 silent UFO’s almost directly overhead. I stopped the car and noticed the orange red objects flying slowly, and totally silently in an easterly direction. The shape of the ones I saw were elongated narrow triangles with rounded corners. We viewed them for several minutes until the trees stopped our view.

I still cannot get my boys to sleep....on our way home on Galloway Road in the field adjacent to the Baptist church there I saw an "upside down triangle" craft hovering about 4 feet off of the ground with 4 - 5 rows of lights on the different "levels"....after I exclaimed what I had seen my boys all saw it too....I pulled into the church parking lot and almost got STUCK! After getting free as it was slippery and the snow was just starting to pick up- my 15 year old JUMPED out of the back seat and started toward the sight trying to take pictures of it, I was terrified for him. At this point we all noticed that there was a 2-4 foot tall GLOWING NEON GREEN humanoid type being standing directly beside this craft. It would look toward my son with the camera, then back at the craft floating beside him about 6-7 times quickly to each thing, then after about 1 minute my 15 year old took off RUNNING full speed back to the car. He was scared becaus! e he said that the being was "noticing his picture taking". Of course our luck,,,,right when my oldest started taking pictures the snow really started to pick up and it did not help us to get very clear shots.... He said that he tried to take 4 pictures but could only take one...then on the way home as we discussed the incident- the other 3 pictures mysteriously appeared. Furthermore, when my son took off running towards me to get back in the car because he was scared- the car doors locked!!! My 9 year old, who was in the front passenger seat said "MOM! UNLOCK THE DOOR!" I was pushing the button but I could not unlock it! Then my 12 year old son manually unlocked his back door and let him in....and we took off! It was a scary, yet awesome experience for all of us. My oldest kept begging me to turn around and go back, but I would not, he said "something" told him to walk towards it, and also go back and see it again. Also, after we got home and e! xamined the pics we saw a donut shaped glowing orb that we did! NOT SEE in person....we are somewhat disappointed with the pics quality but my son was too scared to use his flash and like I said it was snowing hard.
