Driving home from work southbound on 440, I saw a grey disk object In the sky. This object was closer then a plain flying over would be and farther then a helicopter would be. It looked to be a little bit bigger then a normal sized car and I could definitely make it out to be a disk or a saucer. I watched it for about a minute and a half trying to figure out what it was, and it stayed completely still. It was so absolutely still that I couldn't believe what I was looking at. I called my brother, and we both had decided that I should pull over and take a picture. Once I pulled over and opened my phone camera, it was gone. The entire encounter lasted about 2 minutes.

Ithaca, NY
We saw the craft lit up, above Danby Road, looking from the west side of Danby Rd. toward the east. The object hovers on the same spot 8 minutes after we spotted it. It may be a star, but does not look exactly like one. It hangs just south of Longview Senior Center and Ithaca College The shap looks linear, but that may be because of the light beams, just like a star. It is not moving from its spot, so maybe just a star. Not obscured though, by the clouds.

Ellicottville, NY
Accidentally captured a picture of a UFO, while focusing on amazing fall foliage. Disc shaped over the hills in Ellicottville, NY on 9/26/20 at 429 pm at the Ellicottville Dog park. Got two pictures at two different angles. Didn’t notice it until later. Black and/or Silver, must have been moving fast as it is the only thing in the picture that is slightly blurred. Posted report. Then looked at a different photo, and realized I have one an hour later with 3 uniform objects higher in the sky, which blown up show that all have highlights on the left hand side as if sun is shining off of metal or something shiny. Actually, looking closer at the cloud cover, there is actually 7 possibly 8 that are the same size and uniform in shape. The last photo is on the opposite side of the same ridge as the first 2 photos where one was lower and very clear in the sky. Freaky. Way too large to be drones. At least a mile away.

West Islip, NY
I came outside to gauge the weather to see if the sky cleared, as it was overcast earlier, it was now a solid grey high ceiling with not even a breeze or gust of wind. The overcast provided bright gray backdrop which the red/orange circles stood out against. I immediately noticed two red lights with orange centers heading north. No sound was heard from the objects moving relatively fast similar to a plane but not as fast as one. The two separate circles which appeared a meter apart from my point of view on the ground. Initially, I thought it was a reflection on my glasses but it wasn't as they were around my neck. I observed and noted that these objects were definitely not our usual airplanes. Living on Long Island the flights, currently, fly low across Long Island east to west on the south shore heading to Kennedy or LaGuardia. Normal commercial flights that travel south (up the coast) north across Long Island, as the 2 orange circles did, but at a higher altitude as they are heading towards Connecticut using Robert Moses water tower as a landmark to cross Long Island. The red orange circles followed a similar path but on a slight angle no greater than 10° west at a lower altitude. There was absolutely no engine sound or buzz from a drone which our neighbors fly frequently. I put my glasses on and by the time I looked up one had disappeared maybe 20 seconds. The overall distance covered was at best estimate was somewhere between Montauk Hgw and Union Blvd past Southern State. I don't believe it reached Long Island Expressway before the second one just disappeared. After, September 11, the sky above Long Island was constantly monitored by our military. There were similarly spaced however these apoeared side by side not the usual one aircraft leading. Depending on the direction some of those aircrafts appeared to have a solid red light but never in the path these 2 red orange circular objects traveled. It was not a long observation, a few minutes on a steady straight path, no sudden movements or jerks. The 1st one disappeared after about a minute the second disappeared within 2 minutes.

Accidentally captured a picture of a UFO, while focusing on amazing fall foliage. Disc shaped or might be cone as its slightly blurred, over the hills in Ellicottville, NY on 9/26/20 at 429 pm. Got two pictures at two different angles. Didn’t notice it until later. Black and/or Silver, must have been moving fast as it is the only thing in the picture that is slightly blurred. There were 3 of us at the time and people in the Ellicottville Dog Park, but I took the picture on the way in, and parked a distance away from everyone else. Based on the dimensions probably about 30-50 feet wide. Can't believe I didn't notice it at the time, but simply didn't look up and took a long range shot. Buggers.

My wife and I went into the hot tub during a bright sunny day in September. There were no clouds in the sky. The sky was blue. We were in for about five minutes or so when I noticed a small cloud come into view over to the right. I kept my eye on it. I realized that it had stopped. How could a cloud float to a position then stop in midair? There was a breeze, so you would expect to see the cloud moving especially when it floated into view in the first place. I looked at it intensely. I asked it to show me some lights. All this time I did not mention it to my wife. She was enjoying her hot tub time and I did not want to disturb her. As I looked at the cloud, I could make out a triangle shape in the small cloud. There was some dim glowing light activity at the tip of the triangle behind the cloud. It looked like some movement of white orbs. It was slight but I could make it out. The triangle shape then became more profound and I noticed that in the background ! was another outline of a triangle that was getting smaller. An invisible triangle was rising straight up into the sky. The triangle shape had lifted out of the small cloud but still had cloud around it. I could see the original triangle shape in the cloud start to dissipate. I watched the shape rise into the sky, but it no longer had any cloud around to reveal its shape. It was gone. About six to eight seconds after that, the cloud that was standing still started to disappear. I knew that it was going to do that. The cloud was gone. There was a triangle shape that was hiding in that small cloud. Maybe it needed to become visible to interact with the glowing objects that I saw.

My son and I were sitting outside in the backyard around 10:00pm. It was a clear night with no clouds and the stars aligned. We both were admiring the Big dipper seen in our backyard. We both noticed a light at first and thought it was a plane heading past the Big Dipper and going to the airport. As the unknown object moved to the right, it quickly disappeared into thin air.

My daughter and I were on our patio at 4:00pm in the evening. The sun was still bright. We heard an airplane and looked up (we are in a flight path). After the plane passed we saw MANY, hundreds at least, flashing blue lights moving as a "flock" over our apartment building. They seemed to have something like a cable dangling from some of them and that "cable" sometimes had a flash of it's own. We were mesmerized. I told my daughter to run and get my phone inside. She did but the "flock" was moving fast. The sky was bright and cloudless and I took video but it didn't come out very compelling. They had moved too far away and it was too bright. I searched online and couldn't find anyone mentioning this. I found a video on CBS news (local) website that had a UFO sighing from fall of 2010 that looked very similar. I don't believe in alien abductions etc. I'm pretty conservative. This was just so bizarre I had to have it! noted somewhere. I just would like someone to tell me what it was.

I was sitting on the beach with my friend, we saw a large craft of 7-8 fire balls shoot up out of the Long Island sound. It went up spinning. It went up a few hundred feet, then the fire balls turned off and turned into solid red lights (7-8 not spinning) the ufo then shot east at a high rate of speed, following was a f18 with full afterburner on. It wen directly after the craft. I took poor quality videos. (Three to be exact but short one second bursts because I was panicking)

I stuck my head out the bathroom window of my 2nd floor home. I looked up as I usually see planes landing at JFK. These were not planes because I did not see the usual flashing wingtips and they were too close in proximity to be planes. These orbs were orange/metallic standing still. They seemed to appear and disappear several times then seemed to rise up and totally disappear. The location is over Canarsie/Jamaica Bay area in Brooklyn, NY. By the time I called my son, they were gone. I could not believe my eyes.

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.

I was looking out my bedroom window and I noticed an object rotating in the sky and was just rotating in place for 3 -5 minutes then it started rotating away I have two videos of it looks like some kind of propulsion system underneath was powering it. It looked like two ovals connected with two propulsion cylinders underneath.

All I saw were these bright lights over the tree tops, getting closer and closer. As I was riding on the taconic I kept looking at them but they became blinding as they were very close. They were not from a helicopter as ther was no sound or wind just this brightness. They were different size round shapes. As I continued up the taconic I tried to see from my rear view mirror but they were gone.

Brockport, NY
Returned home from walking dogs. Nearly pitch black save moonlight from half moon. I was bent over to unleash dogs and a bright light engulfed my surroundings. I thought it might be lightening. I looked up and saw what appeared to be a vertical stream of disturbed air in the western sky, similar to what a plane leaves behind. The stream was much lighter in appearance to the darker surrounding sky and looked like tiny particles. There was no airborne vehicle to be seen. The stream faded quickly within 9 seconds or so, all together. It did not start to fade at one end then the other, but rather the entire anomaly very uniformly. My dogs did not seem to notice the account, especially when they would normally be frightened of lightening and the subsequent thunder.

I walked to the park just to walk and I look up and see 3 reddish orange dots not moving in the sky it was about 2 or 3 miles away from me and about 300 or 350 feet in the air but I only saw it for a couple seconds because I ran as fast as I could because i was scared for my life , I’ve encountered the same craft multiple times one with a friend and once before but I forgot the details of the encounter

I was sitting on the beach with one of my best friends watching the stars and all of the sudden we saw this giant circle with a ton of white lights show up out of nowhere, we still believe it came up out of the Long Island Sound right in front of Port Jefferson NY. It flew away quite fast and looked like it was headed towards Montauk. About 5 minutes after we lost sight of it we saw a military jet fly over head at the fastest speed I’ve ever seen a plane fly. We ran back to my house to tell my family what we just saw and they didn’t believe us at first, up until they saw the short video clip we were able to record.

I was driving through the countryside, when I seen a shooting star. I thought it look weird coming in fast at a weird angle (upside down sharp-curved like). Then it disappeared. Then 1 minute later, I saw a flickering light hovering above a heavily wooded area. The light shine so brightly, almost like an LED light except you could see the beam of light shining below. The big white light shine through the tree tops. It was suspended low in the tree line. The light flickering white, yellow, then bright white again. The beam only shone through the trees when it flicker to bright white. This lasted only a few seconds before completely vanishing.
