About 2am I got up to go to the bathroom. The window looks west at our barn with the forest to the right. I saw a light appear in the sky above the barn. It looked like a star just appeared. So it was far away and the light was the same size as the few stars around it. It began moving in a zig zag. Down and to the right down and to the right until it disappeared behind the tree line going towards highway 88. It left no trail. I had left my phone in my room so couldn't record it.

Delanson, NY
Was sitting outside my house, stargazing. I live in a pretty rural area so the sky is really clear and easy to see on cloudless nights. I heard what I thought was a helicopter flying pretty low and I didn't pay attention to it until it more into my line of vision. I noticed there were three lights and I figured, for a second, it was three flying in formation, BUT I kept watching and the lights stayed completely equidistant the entire time. I went to our back porch to get a better look and I saw the barest hint of a triangle silhouette. I watched the lights disappear behind the hills, the lights stayed totally equidistant and did not change (not at all like the brigades of helicopters I've seen flying together, even at night). One of them was red.
