I was driving down a long stretch of road when I saw off to the side a neon green sphere that dropped out of the sky, stopped, then shot sideways towards the water
December 3, 2020 · 6:00 AM · DISK
Forest Hills, NY
I observed a disk/saucer shaped object high above my 31st floor terrace in a partly cloudy predawn sky. The disk was bright red and moving north in a slow linear direction towards LaGuardia Airport some 5 miles away from my location It then turned left quite quickly I could see that the disk had gained altitude towards Manhattan Island moving in a non-linear fashion at very high speed. During its movement towards Manhattan the disk’s bright red color (apparent dome shape) maintained its brightness; while it appeared that the saucer was translucent with its edge ringed by non-flashing white lights which became evident while changing its flight mode and position It then continued to gain altitude quickly while moving north and disappearing.

I have a video with some very odd ball objects where one looks almost like a cigarette one looks like some sort of bull head with weird legs one a golden cow and so much more going on . The concern I have is I also have audio communications to things like what’s in the video and I live next to cannon Air Force has one if the top 10 in the country and nobody there seems to pick these things up on Ant kind of radar . Maybe these time stamps would aid in things like this coming and going of crafts without our abilities to track activity . These things sound and almost look goofy but that’s just added to why there so different to what most see and report .

Malverne, NY
My cousin an I were looking up at the sky when we noticed a bright orange or fire colored object moving across sky. Object was moving in a straight horizontal line at pretty fast speed relative to apparent altitude. However, we were not able to distinguish any features due to brightness of object. We followed it down the street in which it appeared to get smaller and smaller and disappear. The distance it covered was not far enough to become that small before disappearing. There was no sound so it couldn't of been a helicopter and no wind to propel a paper fire lantern that fast.

Green, red and white lights on and off on the craft. Was moving slow st first, then would speed up super fast, and at the end of my block it pointed upward for a few seconds and turned around and zoomed off.

Carmel, NY
I saw the first one around 1 hour earlier at 12:47am. I already submitted that story. I woke back up an hour later and this one seemed to be much lower, but farther away. It was flashing on and off so my camera could barely pick it up. If I hadn't already seen the one before I would have thought it was a planet, but this one was moving back and forth turning on and off. When it was on it was flashing yellow, orange, red and green. It went under the tree-line before I could see it take off again.

It was very high in the sky. It was a little larger than what mars looks like when we can see it at night. Hovering for about 3-4 minutes, flashing orange, red, yellow and green. After 3-4 minutes it did a circle and then took off into space at a physically impossible speed and left behind a trail of light as it zoomed away. I have a picture showing it’s a ring with an open center and a blurry video that shows the colors flashing. I don’t know where I can submit this to but I put it on social media.

Bliss, NY
We were at our hunting camp Bliss New York there were 4 of us. We were standing on the porch looking at the stars. My friend was showing me how to set my phone so I could take pictures of the stars and they will show up on my phone. While we were doing this. We noticed a object flying over us from east going west there was no sound and then all of a sudden it went straight up it looks like a diamond shaped and it was so bright no strobing lights no sound it didn't even stop just went straight up gradually. My other friend that was there who is a credible Witness. He turns to and says why are we freaking out about what we just saw.

We were in Bliss New York on November 20th.We were at hunting camp standing outside on the deck having a cigarette. My friend was trying to show me how to take pictures of the stars with a certain setting on my phone cuz I couldn't figure it out. While we were looking up at the stars trying to take a picture. We seen this very bright object. To me it look like a diamond flying across the sky from east to west. Then all of a sudden it started going straight up in the sky until it faded away and you couldn't see it anymore. It was crazy how bright the object was and no sound. No one said anything to each other we just continued on. Until one of my friends who is a credible Witness (police officer) said why isn't anybody freaking out about what we just seen. I tried to downplay it cuz I watch those shows all the time but this is my second sighting in two different locations

On November 20, 2020, a very bright star caught my eye but it appeared to be moving. I started to record it on my iPhone figuring I could zoom in on the video to get a closer look. I took 2 videos-VIDEO 1 was a minute long and VIDEO 2 was a 2 second video that I must have taken by accident. I adjusted brightness contrast on the 1 minute video to get a better idea as to how much the light orb had moved in relation to the background and what I saw definitely seemed odd. I sent the 1 minute video to my boyfriend who was a few miles away picking up his son from daycare. He responded with a video of his own (VIDEO 3) saying he just saw the same thing 30 minutes after I saw it. In his video, he shined a flashlight at it. In response, the light quickly rose in the sky until it was almost directly over his head. At that point, he got back in his car and left. The orb must have been closer to him than me because we compared sizes and what he saw was about 5 times lar! ger than what I saw. Things to look for in VIDEO 1 - the distance the light orb moved within the one minute video - The thing that swoops in at the top of the screen about 20 seconds in. Doubtful it was a bug since it was almost the end of November in the northeast. Also, I didn’t see this until I watched the video - The appearance of a second orb above the first ** the light orb had some similarities to the star Sirius but it couldn’t have been Sirius because it moved from one location to another and because Sirius didn’t rise above the horizon until after 10pm (5 hours after the video was taken). I confirmed that through an interactive sky chart on skyandtelescope.org. In fact, there were no planets and no other significant stars in my viewing area at that time. Things to look for in VIDEO 2 (you may have to manually scrub through the video to see it almost frame by frame because stuff happens so fast you could miss it. - at first you see the 2 spheres that were seen in VIDEO 1. * Then the bottom sphere disappears just as some Christmas tree/centipede shaped object flies across the screen in the top left corner. Whatever this thing was, it was moving at an incredible speed and I didn’t see it while I was taking the video. It’s kind of hard to determine how close it was to me but either way, it’s large and seems like something I should have been able to see with the naked eye VIDEO 3 is my boyfriends video which I explained earlier

New York, NY
Around 3:45pm on November 18th, 2020 My husband and I witnessed what appeared to be several UFOs. We were in Harlem, NYC. I noticed a commercial airline flying overhead, so looked up, and much further up in the sky, past the airplane appeared approximately 7-9 bright lights (or silver objects, as it was daytime) moving in a V-shape. The speed of the objects (compared to the lower-altitude commercial plane) was seemingly much slower. The fleet was so far away and so faint in the sky, if we looked away and looked back, it took several moments to be able to find them again. We watched for about 5 minutes as the shape shifted a bit, but stayed mostly in a V formation, as they traveled from Northwest to Southeast.

Outside to let the dog do his deed and we began seeing orange globes in the sky one turned to two then about 12. Once they shut the orange light off they just looked like stars just chillen in the sky. We took video of them.

New York, NY
We heard the sound of a herd of upset ducks flying towards us and stopped to look up at the sky, after they had passed, we Suddenly saw what Appeared to be a shooting star. It shot across the sky and disappeared at one point and then it reappeared and again shot further forward across the sky. It abruptly came to a stop and began to fly slowly and higher at the speed of a normal aircraft. There were approximately six lights and they were red and white. It was difficult to make out a solid shape. It slowly ascended and then simply disappeared.

November 9, 2020 – Approximately 1715 LT- 1.9 Miles SW of Clarksville, NY 12041 Elevation ASL of observers Approximately 1100 feet 4 adult observers sitting on a deck enjoying wide open views to the East Observer 1 – property owner – retired forester - Observer 2 - property owner spouse - Observer 3 - neighbor of property owner – retired Merchant Marine Officer / Maritime Pilot (Author of this report) Observer 4 - Significant other of Author – RN/BS Operating Room Supervisor We were enjoying vista views of neighboring states (Massachusetts and Vermont). My significant other was showing our neighbors a star finding app on her phone. As we gazed skyward, 3 bright white lights in a triangular pattern appeared just to the East of the planet Mars. They passed under the planet traveling in a westerly direction but did not block the planet from view. Just as they passed Mars they disappeared as quickly as they appeared. Duration of sighting was approximately 45 seconds.

Multi colored light. Can see faa red lights from planes passing under it. It moves around and not like satellites. Every Nov-Feb it shows up quite frequently. I do have video from my phone describing what I can. This is pretty frequent sighting!

Fulton, NY
Shortly after arriving at my deer hunting location on my farm, I was looking at the Big Dipper, and noticed what appeared to be a satellite transiting across the Dipper. This first “satellite” was soon followed by a second “satellite”, moving along the exact same path as the first one. The path was from west-northwest, to east-southeast. I thought it was unusual that two satellites would be moving so close together along the exact same path, when I noticed a third, fourth and more “satellites” moving across the sky. After about the fifth object crossed the sky, I noticed that bright objects were falling below the line of the “satellites,” travel, and that they would flare to maximum brightness about 15 degrees below the line of travel that the “satellites” were taking. I interpreted the increase in brightness to be the heat generated by objects entering the atmosphere. After a couple of seconds, the falling objects’ brightness would dim, and I could no longer see them. I counted at least 15 “satellites” moving along the same path, and about as many objects falling below the path of the “satellites”. A sixteenth “satellite” then followed, but traveled a path that appeared to bow out slightly from the path the previous fifteen “satellites” took, and eventually moved back onto the same path as the rest of the “satellites”. I would note that the falling objects did not appear to breakup into smaller pieces, as you might expect a piece of falling space debris to do, but remained intact during their descent, and their appearances were evenly spaced, matching the spacing between the “satellites”.

1 diamond shaped craft flew over my house. Made no sound at all. Wobbled a bit in the sky as it flew over. Followed the movement for a while and then it was gone. Height seemed to be as high as small airplanes

I got hone and parked in the street. Exited my truck and looked in the sky to see 5 red balls of light that blinked flying slowly North at the same altitude as an air plane. 3 red orbs followed 2 in the front.

Hamburg, NY
I- along with another witness, noticed a fast moving sphere glowing white. The sphere was heading north towards the lake. We then noticed other spherical objects forming in a triangular formation behind the illuminated object. These other spheres were not illuminated but had a shiny aluminum appearance. In total, we were witnessing 12-15 objects all flying quickly and silently in an organized formation. Suddenly the non-illuminated objects became bright with white light just like the first sphere "leading the pack." The objects flew above us at low altitude, certainly in our atmosphere/airspace. The objects moved faster than anything I have ever seen before. After about 30 seconds, the objects turned off their lights and disappeared. No silhouette or any trace of them. The night sky was very clear- 10% cloud cover. We watched numerous planes, satellites, shooting stars, etc. These unidentified objects were very eye catching and hard to ignore. Cert!ainly an aircraft of some sort.
November 5, 2020 · 6:32 PM · OVAL
Commack, NY
Myself and 3 others punched out to go home at 630pm. One guy left immediatly, another 2 walked with me to the lot, the second guy got in his truck and left as I was talking to the third guy, I was facing south. Above him in the distance, in the sky, I saw an oval shape lit on the leading edge. At first it looked like a pinpoint but as it moved from west to east, it quickly because a defined shape. I immediatly stopped our conversation and pointed it out to him and we were in shock of what we were viewing. We walked more into the center of the lot. It was moving no faster than I would say and aircraft moves. This was no aircraft in our opinion. I took my phone out and took a picture, I switched my phone to video and as I started recording, my friend said it just vanished. The sky was clear, no clouds could be viewed. There were aircraft in the area and you could clearly see their navigation lights. We viewed this object for about 10 seconds before I snapped the picture I have of it. I can best describe the object as a well defined oval massive in shape. I would scale it at maybe 4 times larger than an aircraft. There was a glow to the front that wasnt like a headlight, it didnt project out like a headlight. It was more of a light at the leading edge of it that shined back onto the object that clearly defined its shape, or atleast the leading edge of it. The shape was clearly defined as an oval, the end of the shape was crisp, it didnt appear that the glow of it was like a a light being shined into the distance, it was very clear that the light was shining at the object as if it was a light to show what it was, not where it was going.

Lewiston, NY
At around 915 p.m., I was outside because it was an unexpectedly beautiful night, with a sudden warm up after severe cold. I saw an object moving left to right, seemingly in a straight line moving diagonally away from me. A couple of minutes later, I realized the object had stopped, just stopped. I continued to watch it, thinking maybe its just moving away from me, but it stayed in one place for about 10 minutes. I got my binoculars, and took a look, and the object, which seemed from a distance to be LED bright, and with multiple lights, turned out to be a moving snake line, like an electrical impulse kind of thing you would see on a computer screensaver. A snake like line just kept moving randomly but in a contained space. I saw no distinguishing shape. I thought maybe it was some kind of refracted light from the binocular lens, so I checked out other stars, but they were not moving, and had no such squiggly lines or brightness. Then I noticed that there were a couple more really bright lights, and looked closer with the binoculars, noting that there were three such lights, each with these electrical impulse type snake movements like a line chasing its tail kind of thing. I realized that together, the 3 lights formed a very large triangle, although I saw no shape between them, and they did not move. This was over the Niagara River in Lewiston, New York, which borders with Canada, and because of the distance (the lights were not close), I couldn’t determine if they were over the river or over Canada. I noted there were several more, but due to trees and such could not determine any more which might be in formation. They disappeared shortly after, just faded away like they were never there. I looked online and something similar was captured on video along Lake Erie, New York, except those could be seen with the naked eye. I attach the link because it accurately showed the kind of spasmic shifting of this weird bright snake rope kind of movement, which was recorded in 2018. https://www.texasufosightings.com/buzz/strange-squiggly-lines-seen-with-naked-eye-over-new-york-see-photos I am located in Lewiston, NY, roughly 100 miles from the original sighting, and less than 5 miles from the Niagara Falls Air Force Base, on Lake Ontario.
