Triangle over Glens Falls, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walking my dog with my wife near the Hudson River we saw a triangular shaped gray craft. It appeared to suck water up into it for about five minutes then sat about 15 to 25 feet above the ground for 15 minutes. It appeared to be about the size of a single seater plane. My dog was shaking and whining the whole time and that's what made me believe that perhaps this was something strange. I asked my wife if she had her phone and she did take pictures. She hasn't sent them to me yet but when she does I'm loading them onto my computer and sending them to you.

Walking on the bike trail with my wife when she pointed out 3 triangular objects following each other in a line. They were grey in color and had 3 lights on the back and the bottom. I estimate that they were at 9 to 10 thousand feet and very very large. I'm thinking it's military but my wife insists on me making this report.

Outside of a local convenience store I saw 5 people just looking up in the sky. I looked up and saw a dark grey triangular object with what appeared to be a hole in the middle. It was pretty high up and yet it was very large. My estimate would be 20,000 feet but I'm no expert and yet when I put my hand up to cover some of the sunlight it was about the size of my thumb. It made no sound and slowly rotated to the west before shooting off.

At 10pm last night, 2/18/16, I observed two points of light jumping around a small portion of the sky. A red light at 2:00 o'clock and a white light at 8 o'clock if we use the clock face illustration. When I first focused my binoculars on them they immediately exchanged positions -the red went to the 8 o'clock position and the white to the 2:00 position. Then they began do jump back and forth like for 30 to 45 seconds. I could not tell if the moved between the intervening spaces or if they disappeared and re-appeared. It was happening too fast to adjust my eyesight. At one point the white light seemed to the circle the clock face. I had to look away after 45 sec or so because it was straining my eyes. I couldn't track one light without it becoming the other, but they seemed to return those same clock positions, and pause for a second or two. This was the ultimate in watching erratic lights in the sky. I don't know what the point of this activity would be, other than to attract attention and "show off". I looked away again and looked back and the red light seemed to be lower in the sky, and the white light was higher, as if the clock face moved 15 degrees higher in the sky. I went back and forth to the window for about twenty minutes and the 2 lights were still there, but "dancing" more slowly at the end. I stopped watching before they disappeared. Up to last night I had only witnessed white lights like this--the color red was new to my skywatching. I had the "feeling" I would see something in the sky last night when at around 6pm, I looked outside and saw it was a clear sky. I've had that feeling before, and saw lights those times, too.

While skywatching at 8 pm I saw a bright white light traverse the sky from horizon to horizon. It travelled extremely fast at about 400 to 500 ft above the ground. The duration of the sighting was about 5 seconds. The light seemed to have a slight arc downward as it passed about two houses south of my home. It ocurred so quickly that I was unable to do anything but stare as it whizzed by, silently. There was no discernible structure, and it didn't blink, or flash. It just vanished to the east going below the tree line.
