Staten Island, NY
While driving home, I noticed three bright orbs, yellow-ish tint, in the sky. They were spread in a triangle formation and were stationary for several minutes. The orb to the top left then began slowly moving independently, with a green flicker occurring as well. There were other aircraft in the sky but none that were in the immediate area of these orbs. Around one hour later, while out on a run, I noticed a three orb light formation again, also in a triangle shape. This time the three orbs were completely stationary. The orbs were in roughly the same position in the sky as when I was driving home. Attached are two images and one video. The first two images presents the orbs as I was driving home, the video was taken shortly after and captures the orb moving away from the triangle formation, and the third image shows the triangle orbs as I saw them during my run, which was around one hour after my initial encounter.

Stony Point, NY
On November 17, 2021, I noticed some round red lights in the western sky. There were approximately 8 objects in the sky flying in a pattern that reminded me of the Big Dipper. I drove towards the objects and opened my window. There was no noise and they were flying very slowly, almost hovering. All of a sudden the objects started to whisk away, very fast and disappeared, one at a time. There was no noise with the whisking. I took a few photos. The red lights appear white on my camera. I was the only witness to this event.

Yonkers (Westchester Co.), NY
Traveling southbound on the Saw Mill River Parkway in southern Westchester County (in, or in the vicinity of, the city of Yonkers), New York, I saw a small green light, POSSIBLY on a saucer shaped object, zip quickly across the sky. It was rather fast - much faster than a plane but maybe not as fast as a shooting star. The green light was the eye catching feature… and the speed. I believe it was traveling east to west.

Highland, NY
10 pm Saturday evening. My spouse and I were driving home from dinner. We were looking forward on the road talking. As we all of sudden see a massive wingspan, lit with 2 lights. It flew over top of us , almost like it was following us, and the lights disappeared. Happened super fast but we are very very sure of what we saw. There is no way a plane could have been flying that low, because of local mountains. We tried to debunk it for 10 mins until we got home. Absolutely breath taking event.

Bearsville, NY
When I first saw it it was starshaped, a light at the top, bottom and both sides. Later it looked square and later diamond again. The lights did not blink.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
I first noticed these lights over Brooklyn, NY on October 17, 2021 around 9:45 PM. They stayed absolutely still then flew off or disappeared after 20-30 minutes. I’m now seeing them again tonight on November 1 around 10 PM. They stayed there around 20-30 minutes, then disappeared. I believe I saw one light up brighter before disappearing completely. They seem to be changing colors, from red to green and orange, but it’s hard to tell unless you’re really zoomed in on your phone and taking a vid. Last time there were 5, tonight there were 4.

Richford, NY
It appeared as if it were a very bright star that was shinning through my bedroom window. So once I say up to look at it it blinked a few times and stayed in the same spot. A few minutes went by and it moved slowly a little bit to the left and then disappeared altogether.

New Paltz, NY
I was watching television with my husband, and something caught my eye out of the large window to my left. This happens from time and time, and is typically the headlights from cars reflected off our barn, a couple hundred feet from our house. When I turned to look, I saw what looked to be a shooting star, though much larger and much closer than I had ever seen. It was also much lower down to the ground. It did have a long tail, and streaked through the air, not particularly fast, as has always been the case with other shooting stars I’ve observed in the past. It almost looked like it could’ve been a part of a firework, but no fireworks were observed or recorded in our town, or surrounding towns on this night, and there was no audible noise from fireworks, either. I also did not note it dissipating in brightness, or falling in a pattern that you would expect a firework to do. It threw me so, that I did not even get a chance to point it out to my husband, until it had disappeared from view. It flew out of my sight, obscured by our barn, but a bit farther in the background where there is a few miles of wetlands and forest brush. My check or local social networking groups yielded no other reports (where everything and anything is typically reported). I kept an eye out for the remainder of the evening, but did not see anything else. I also did not leave my house to investigate any further. Probably unrelated, but worth noting was that the next morning there were dozens of vultures all over town, which seemed surprising to everyone, and has never happened before in the time that we’ve lived here.

Macedon, NY
A pulsing light in the sky. Was stationary at first, but was able to move left, right, and up. It would slowly move right, then stop and sit in place for awhile, then move back left. Movement seemed random without any pattern to it.

Walkill, NY
There were multiple glowing dots out in the distance. The dots disappeared, reappeared, moved at different paces, etc. Most were seen above the tree line in the dark. Up in the sky above there were moving dots witnessed. Three moved together in a triangular shape. Others moved in the sky too. There was an abnormal amount of “planes” that blinked with red. One turned around in the sky and backtracked it’s route, then disappeared. Others disappeared too. One “plane” moved upward.

New York City, NY
On the evening of October 15, 2021 and previous evenings, I notice a hovering white round shape light with no movement and no sound over the Hudson River. This object has been viewable from my apt window on W. 60th and Columbus Avenue when I look in a south and slightly west direction. Also, the object just disappears and doesn't fly off.

At approximately 7:15 PM on October 12, 2021 a blinking or pulsating green light was observed just below the Moon. That evenings Moon was a Waxing Crescent, The illuminated fraction of the Moon surface was about 43%. The object was observed in the southern sky just below the Moon for about three minutes.

Avoca, NY
Extremely large Sphere, silver or chrome in finish/color, appeared to be hovering in the sky , not moving then suddenly seemed to disappear in to the stratosphere. I was driving my car on NYS highway 415 northbound and the sphere was hovering above the hills that run parallel to state highway 415 in Avoca, NY by the gas station and corn field. It is hard to discern exact size, since I observed the sphere while in a moving vehicle. The same experience took place approximately 4 months ago, at approximately the same time, and the skies were also approximately the same conditions. Blue sky, little wind, partly cloudy and sunny. The first time I saw the sphere it was hovering and disappeared like a flash in to 'space'. At first I thought they might be satellite or Google devices but they move too quickly. The first sighting was located in almost the exact same spot in the sky and the sphere looked the same. Thus my urgency to report.

Cincinnatus, NY
On October seventh 2021, myself and one of my friends witnessed a triangular shaped craft or potentially three individual craft in formation. However; we believe it was one triangular shaped craft. The weather was completely clear the stars fully visible. At first, I simply noticed a distinct triangle shape in the stars. After looking at it for just a couple seconds, all three points of the triangle started moving as if orienting vertically on one side from what was previously a flat or bottom-up view of the triangle. It was as if we could see through it or like it was distorting the star field above it, like a form of active camouflage. Once it had shifted its orientation, it seemingly became a bright orange ball of light that moved. we visually tracked it as it seemed to descend almost as if around the curvature of the earth moving below the line of horizon. I attempted to take a video, given the experience only lasted less than 30 seconds, it turned out to be poor quality. Still though I’d like a professional to examine the footage as it was a genuine experience, you can clearly hear our excitement and confusion into what we just saw.

As I was waiting for my friend to unlock the car door in a parking lot I was looking up at the sky and saw a cylinder almost like a big bullet shaped object fly really fast across the sky it was in a orb of a very bright blue light no wings or tail but there was a streak of light behind the object almost like a shooting star but definitely was not a shooting star it flew straight across and then swooped down and disappeared both my friend and I witnessed it

Albany, NY
It was moving steadily but not too fast across the sky tracking northwest to southeast over Suny Albany around 12:08 a.m. on Thursday 9/20/2021, Wednesday night. Due to me being at work i was unable to get any pictures or video of this encounter per company policy. I am a bus driver for the local public transit company and this is not like anything i have ever seen in my life. I am 37 years old and have seen numerous planes and helicopters in the night sky as i typically work the night shift. I did notice another person pulled over his car and was standing outside of his vehicle watching this object move across the sky. Hopefully he was able to snap a picture or video of it and also reports it. I was going to take a video and pictures of it when i pulled into the local college and was able to park my bus, but as i turned into the college i looked back at where this object was and it was gone.

Beacon, NY
Boomerang shaped silent craft was directly over my car. There were no lights at this point but I saw a beautiful blue colored design on the left side of the craft. I kept watching it and the next thing I knew I was pulling into a gas station on the right. I drove home after going into the store and filed a report with Mufon when I got home. My report was followed up with Mufon and I was told that it was an optical illusion due to the lights at the gas station. I drove that road for over a year every night leaving work and never had an experience like that.

Modena, NY
This is the second of 3 sightings of craft outside my bedroom window in 2021. Two of the sightings occurred in Auburn, MA right on the Worcester, MA border. . I have photos and video footage of all 3 separate sightings. I will submit all craft sightings on separate reports. The details for this report: I was visiting my parents in Modena, NY where I was raised. I had just returned from spending time with my closest childhood/hometown friend in Newburgh NY (orange lake) and was laying in bed choosing a podcast to fall asleep to. It was about 4-5am (exact time stamp is on video & photos along with exact locations) and looked out my window to see a blinking white & alternating blue bright cluster of orbs hovering above T the house across the street from mine. It then changed to green, blue and orange clusters of lights and then more joined. I saw several different formations and/or other crafts or lights including a 3 point triangle craft and a saucer/disc that was Orange with more than 3 lights. I also saw blinking single orbs/spheres and a hexagon shaped blue light cluster/craft. There was no noise associated, unlike my other two sightings where there was a loud, low & dull humming associated with seeing the lights.

I was laying on a chair on my porch and watching the stars. I noticed a dark, triangular shaped object in the sky with round white lights. It was traveling at a steady pace and flew past my house. There was an airplane in the sky as well, but this object was many times bigger.

I was in my yard w my son and looked up and saw this round bright object kind of hovering to the northeast of our yard. I thought it was a drone, but we have a drone and in play long back the video, it didn’t look like drone activity.?

Mastic, NY
Traveling South on William Floyd Parkway in Mastic Long Island. We were about 2 miles north of Brookhaven laboratory. It was late in the afternoon about 5:45 PM. The sun was glaring on my right side I saw a flash and noticed a shiny cylinder shaped object hovering stationary in the sky. The object was extremely reflective and seemed to reflect the sun off the object. The object did not have writing or lights on it. the trees going by on the right side made it difficult to get a long view of the object because it was at a lower height then an airplane would be. I lost sight momentarily behind the trees but located it seconds later and then it was gone.

Hudson Falls, NY
My son and I were walking our dog. We were walking in a Southerly direction. I looked into the sky and towards at Moon. I then saw a shiny orange colored craft that became metallic orange / red. The craft was oval in shape. There was no noise and there was not a jet steam. Trajectory was about 75 degrees and rapid. I said something to my son and he observed it too. He said the object / craft was moving so fast he believed it was perhaps a rocket. But again, there was no noise, no jet stream. Also, no observed wings or lights. I checked my FlightRadar24 app and no craft were in the area. I am a retired Cop and Criminal Investigator for a neighboring County. I am 50 years old. My son is 9. Object traveled South (what would be towards South Glens Falls / Moreau area. There is a National Guard base and a local private operated Airport north of us. Again, no activity on the FlightRadar app, no wings, no lights, no jet stream and no noise.
