Disk over New York City (Brooklyn Heights), NY

The report, as filed

Early evening of Friday the 23rd my girlfriend and I were walking our dog towards the east river in Brooklyn Heights, when we spotted a red light flying unlike any other aircraft we’ve ever seen. It moved at a high rate of speed, low in the sky, but above the planes and helicopters taking off from local airports. First one craft was spotted as it moved extremely fast and then stopped on a dime, hovering, and then descended slowly in the sky, to then stop and hover again. Multiple red and white lights, and one green light appearing and disappearing in very peculiar patterns unlike any traditional aircraft lights that flash on and off. We located another one in the sky moving in the same pattern with one green light. As the first craft moved very slowly in the sky coming closer to our location you could see the red lights on the craft wrapped around the structure which allowed us to make out the shape as saucer like. Both crafts not in unison were zipping back ! and forth until they made their way southeast in the sky and we lost visibility.
