I have actually witnessed this three times from where I currently live either very early in the morning or at night. This particular sighting occurred at night after I arrived home from work and was sitting on my stoop, stair outside of the brownstone apartment I live in. I saw something in the sky that resembled a star. I live near the flight path of JFK airport so I saw airplanes flying past this glowing star like object. The star like object was much higher than the planes but once they seemed to pass it, it shot up vertically and very quickly. There was absolutely no lag like you would see in jet propulsion. Is was smooth and quick. I saw this same thing once before but in total have witnessed this object maybe 4 times. I have pictures. On another occasion there were two of these glowing objects. One was large and one was smaller. The smaller one seemed to land or disappear behind the larger one. I have no picture for that. It happened very fast. The other sighting are superfluous, I am a skeptic but I know the two I mentioned happened.

Port Jefferson, NY
I was walking my dog on Main St. Port Jefferson, NY on this date. A clear early morning illuminated by a very bright full moon. I was across the street from the quiet ferry terminal and at the edge of the LI Sound. A white ball of light flew from west to east over my right shoulder. It was at a low altitude and may have been climbing? It seemed to break into 3rds and disintegrated or simply vanished. I heard a faraway sizzling sound which led me to believe it may be space junk or a chunk of rock? It was not a flare & had no trail. It was at least as big as a bowling ball but hard to judge in such a short time.

First seen in the SE sky, traveling SW. Changed directions, appeared to zig zag and move in circles. Quickly changed direction to a straight line and moved north. Lost sight of it in cloud cover.

Wappingers Falls, NY
Looked blue in color and seemed to glow. Moved slowly but made jerky movements up and down and side to side. I took a photo and a video with my iPhone 11. I zoomed in on the blue light and it seemed to rotate. Looked liked it had circles around the main blue circle. Lasted about 10 minutes before it just disappeared.

Napanoch, NY
Was driving when we saw a craft in the sky flying very low roughly 100-200 feet above the ground. It moved incredibly slowly over to a new construction site where they are clearing and levelling land. The craft then dead stopped and hovered for roughly 2 minutes, it then moved up and down over the construction sight in a linear pattern again no noise present. We then drove off and it processed to tail the car incredibly slowly for roughly 20seconds. It then WITHOUT turning took off I'm the opposite direction at incredible speeds The craft appeared as a cross from a distance but once the craft was hovering above you could see it was almost diamond shape with some type of either tail or nose. It has blue red and piercing white strobing lights that were difficult to look at and did not resemble any type of aircraft lights we had ever seen before. Main takeaways, No sound Strobing lights Cross like shape with barley visible diamond shape wings Hovered with no movement Speed varied from as slow as walking speed to incredibly fast Followed us one way but flew off the opposite direction WITHOUT turning

While taking a walk around Mt. Olivet Cemetery, at the intersection of 58th Road and Brown Place, my boyfriend and I spotted 4 strange white lights in the sky that were moving around in unnatural directions and formations. The lights would go in and out of view, and as we were watching and attempting to identify them, we kept spotting more. Up to seven appeared in the sky at the same time, all hovering around each other in formations, while not seeming to be moving in any one particular predetermined direction. The lights blinked as they moved, in some of the photos we gathered they seemed to be circular, while in others they seemed to have a triangle shape, though they were too unnaturally high up in the air for the camera to capture the shape definitively. We called a friend of mine who was driving in the area, to see if she had seen anything; she also spotted these lights and described them in the same way. Twice we saw one of the white lights briefly blink to the color red before disappearing. There were airplanes that we also saw passing through the same vicinity, but much further down in the sky.

The object was overhead, and looked to be at the altitude a plane might fly. It was white against the blue sky, and stayed in place for about 10 seconds before vanishing from sight. It was in a flight zone, but it didn't move like a plane, and I didn't hear any sound coming from it. The front of the object was not tapered like an airplane, but rounded like a capsule, and the wings were also rounded at the edges. I looked in every direction to see where it went, but it left no trace -- no trails or lights to follow. When I dropped a pin on the spot on the map where I was walking, it came up with these coordinates: 40°39'41.3"N 73°57'55.8"W. I was facing in a northerly direction on my walk, and the object was above and slightly in front of me. The object's "nose" was pointed in a northerly direction, as well.

I woke up this morning to a text from my mother that she couldn't sleep. She looked outside because she heard a noise. She claims it sounded like an airplane but it was unusually low, unusually slow, and was on her view for 10 or so minutes. She lives in my childhood home which is near Niagara Falls International Airport so seeing aircraft of all sorts is nothing new to us. Along with the other unusualities (is this a word? Not sure.), she stated it was heading AWAY from the airport. This just seemed strange to me so I wanted to report it. She has seem this exact same phenomenon once more when I was probably 11 or 12 (I'm 23 now). I'm very aware this may have been an airplane but I figured it wouldn't hurt to report it. Email is best form of contact.

Let dog out 10:15. Object still hovering in same are 30 minutes now. Not sure how long before 10:15. Still watching it as i type. Dropped down vertically a few “feet” but still in same area. Red, green, white blinking lights with some quick yellow blinking and what, from time to time, looks like row of white lights on bottom of object. Looks oval or cigar shape from my angle. If possible, i will upload video i took with cell phone. 10:44…object slightly higher and moved short distance west. Going out in yard…looks more square. Still there as of 10:46.

On the early evening of March 2nd 2022 an elderly man with Dementia went missing on around my beach behind my home. About 60 cops and rescue workers were searching aviation was up with the spotlight the NYPD harbor unit was searching the ocean, as a former police officer myself I offered to use my night vision to assist on the beach because it was very dark and difficult to see. After about 40 min the search team moved out of my location to search further down the beach I remained. I raised my camera up and I was checking out the stars it was a beautiful night on the water I raised my camera up and noticed two spheres in tight formation separated apart by about 30ft or so they flew over the ocean and onto land extremely fast and silent, I filmed until I could no longer see them there was no light just a dim glow that seemed to pulse slightly through my SIONYX Aurora pro camera. I had an overwhelming feeling inside like it was meant for me to see I felt static in the air as they flew over it was really amazing I yelled so load I was shocked what I seen I have it all on video as well.

Fonda, NY
Pulsating light orbs observed for several minutes in clear night sky. Northeastern sky, no higher than the treeline.. orbs were lit up & rapidly changing directions- going up, down, left, right, etc. VERY FAST! Jellyfish-like, Pulsating movements, and seeming to "scan" the ground area below them. We observed while outside on a very cold night, and there were two of them interacting with each other and with the environment. Almost looked like a performance. VERY cold night, so observation was no longer than 10 minutes. I have seen these many times before in this same area, but wasn't aware of database to report until now, so I will be reporting again if/when they return.

Have a high end military grade outdoor camera. I look at it every night. Never seen anything like it. Two spheres moving up, down, at one point they changed shape/expanded, seemed to land somewhere close to the house outside of camera view (after we started to report this sighting strange enough). It’s a busy road so I thought maybe car reflection but didn’t matter if there was a car or not passing by. They were in unison and never saw anything like that. I thought maybe a con web or something but no. They showed up on the playback film around 730pm and now I don’t see them at 11:20pm. I’m

Audible rumble from night sky, coming from above, behind sighters who were in an open field on a semi moonlit frigid February night about to sled. A very large disk shaped object 50-100 ft diameter suddenly came into view nearly directly above from behind. Traveled roughly in west to east direction. Bright green light in center underneath. Noticeable rumble sound. Unfamiliar sound. Disturbingly unfamiliar rumble sound…not a helicopter, not a plain. Object moved in slow floating motion overhead to front of viewers. Extremely bright came on directly beneath object. As a vertical beam of light projecting from object to the ground, scanning movement. Shape of beam rectangular. Viewers in beam momentarily, nearly blinding brightness. Overwhelming eeriness prior to, during sighting turning into fear during and after. Object with beam of light continued moving slowly with beam falling on the open snow and ice covered field which includes farmland, fencing. And a large electrical transmission line. Object slowly moved eastward then faded from view but more of a disappearance then actually flying off or traveling off into the distance. Object just disappears slowly within a half mile a way or so. Viewers so frightened they ran back to home… which was about 150 yards from house.
