Ithaca, NY
This evening I attended a drive in movie featuring back to the future 2. Approximately an hour or so into the movie my eyes wondered into the sky and that is when I noticed the anomaly. The best way I can describe what I saw was a diamond shape configuration of lights going from a diamond shape to a flat line in a way that I would describe as similar to a jellyfish. It looked somewhat like it was swimming I would say. Another observation that I had about what I saw was that the anomaly seemed to have a path of trajectory but it did not stay on one fixed axis. In other words, it was going up, down, left and, right freely. I can’t identify what it was that I saw but I know that what I saw was real.

I was over at my sister's house, in the backyard. The sky was clear and I happened to glance up to look at the stars when I noticed one particular "star" twinkled a little too bright. Then I realized it started moving! It was too high up to be a plane or any other object we know of and made no sound. The light pulsed brightly every 5-8 seconds and was moving in a strange pattern,almost like a zigzag motion. The object easily camouflaged within the stars. After a it seemed like it completed a circle in the sky it start ascending higher until it was no longer in sight.

I and a friend were approaching the sidewalk where an adult male and female observer both 20's/30's, were looking and pointing into the sky. Initially I thought maybe they saw something in the tree, then jokingly I offered "What is there a UFO or something?" The female observer responded, "yea I think it is" and I and my friend were easily able to make out the object they were looking at right away -- it was hard to miss, even in the night sky. It was a gray oval/circle that did not appear illuminated such that a star, planet or terrestrial aircraft would be (or what I'd imagine a UFO would be) and it was stationary. It also did not appear that high up, almost as if you could reach out and pluck it from the sky. We wondered whether it was a balloon or a drone, but it did not move in a way that would suggest that and both observers we encountered confirmed it has been stationary for about ten minutes and they stayed looking at it wond! ering if it would move. The object appeared solid, almost as if it could be made of dark grey metal. To my observation it seemed to "wobble" somewhat as if ever so slightly hovering, but gave the impression of being stationary. It was clear sky with no clouds and there were a few stars that could be made out to give a basis of comparison. We stayed for about five minutes staring until my friend became spooked and we then walked around the corner to my apartment. We came back to the same spot 30 minutes later and it was gone and the sky was still clear. No sounds or lights emanated from the object, it appeared to be visible due to illumination from city light pollution.

I was watching the air craft thinking it was a helicopter. I’ve been seeing it for the passed 2 weeks. This time it was close. I thought there was a pending investigation near by because it sounded like a chopper as Well And it also had red white and blue lights like an nypd car does when its sirens are on. I checked citizens app but there were no recent crimes. I stared at it for a while until I believe it noticed me because it sort of played peek a boo and went right behind the house in front of me but in a distance. It then disappeared But to get closer to me but more higher and out of sight hard to explain. Then it went back to where it was by the building. At this point for some reason I thought police were probably going to arrest me. And that’s when i felt this heat like feeling going through my body. Starting at my head.. like some sort of radiation. Burning me like frying me. And that’s when I realized it was the craft. I honestly thought it was the government putting something into the air with everything going on during these times. and I thought I would wake up and find it all over the news or on instagram but after looking All over there were no sightings near me reported. I ran inside the house because I never felt such a thing. I was scared. Weak. I told the people I was around that I felt I may die of cancer from the brain because that’s where it burned most. I had a headache for the next 3-4 hours. I was scared of the dark and kept all lights on. Woke up a friend and my daughter. My friend didn’t believe me but my daughter said she did because she never saw me so scared before. I told her it started 2 weeks ago. That I saw this bright looking little star though the sky light in the ceiling. That is when she looked and said there was only one star there at that moment. When I looked it it blinked red and disappeared. I warned my daughter to stop staring at it and never look at it if she ever saw it again. That’s when she really believed me.

The objects were not near each other. They seemed to form a circle. No noise. Red, green and yellow lights. While I stood in my driveway the colored lights disappeared but the objects stayed still. I did witness UFOs in Pennsylvania a few years ago but that sighting was at a resort in the woods and lasted for many minutes. The local news had many reports mentioned.

Orange orb floating above at an altitude (it seemed) if a plane. It’s patterns were irattic but smooth like. Hovering some. After viewing and then I got my cell phone out and video’ d some of it. After around 5 or 6 minutes between “live viewing” and my phone camera, it took off from a standstill in a straight line across the entire sky heading N at a speed I have never witnessed before. So unprecedented in speed.

Saw two or three objects high in sky while walking and they just disappeared. Shortly after saw a large glowing light hovering over pillar point, in the south sky. Object was quite large and similar to that of the sun in appearance. It would glow orange then not glow and a second object appeared and did same. This lasted about 45 min. Then both just took off without any sound and were out of sight in less than a second. Photos were taken. One thru binoculars.

My wife, mother in law, and two friends were on my pontoon boat on the Great Sacandaga Lake in Mayfield, New York. It was 20:00 on 7/15/20 and we were anchored just off Beacon island on the south end of the lake. My mother in law said, “What is that in the sky?” Just seconds after discussion of the comet that was supposed to be visible that night. We all looked up and saw a white cylindrical object high in the sky. I am a private pilot and I would estimate the object to be around 20,000ft to 30,000ft or possibly even higher in the sky. It appeared to be above the cirrus clouds. The sky was blue except for a few clouds. The object did not move at all and stayed in the same exact spot for about thirty minutes. It was eventually obstructed by cirrus clouds as they moved under the object. We attempted to take photos of the object but none of the photos came out clear enough. I wondered if it was a star or planet, however the sun was not set yet and there! were no other objects or stars anywhere else in the sky. This object looked very much out of place. I questioned if it was a weather balloon but like I stated above, the object never moved from this spot. It never appeared larger or smaller as if it was ascending or descending. It stayed completely still and the size did not appear to change. It was white in color, assuming it was reflecting sunlight and we were unable to properly identify the color. Several hours later, my friend sent me a screenshot of the object that someone took in Johnstown, NY. About 15 minutes south of our position. This picture was much more clear than our blurry photos and the object looked more like and unidentified flying object. Not just a weather balloon. This object did not make any noise. All photos will be sent via email. The photos took from my boat were taken at 20:03. I do not have a time the photos were taken from Johnstown, however is was roughly the same timeframe.

They were brighter then any of the stars or planets in the sky. The lights were still for about 3 minutes. Then disappears began to head towards us at fast rate... they flew over us and then vanished.

This was not a craft. I was walking my dog at 22:30 (approx), and there was a whitish yellow flash in the SSE SKY. It was two seconds long, and it got bright an$ dimmed to nothing in 2 seconds. The Moon was so bright, the planets were not bright, but this was brighter than the surface of the Moon. It was about 50 degrees above the horizon. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I watch the night sky constantly. It was fairly large in size, but would cover about 1000th o& the Moon’s surface. I thought it could be a distant Supernova, but I know it wasn’t. I think it may have been o; of the radio bursts that they are studying. This was brighter and larger than Beetlejuice on a New Moon night. It was beautiful, and I will be watching that part of the sky every night from now on. It was a very unusual occurrence. That’s all I have to report.

I witnessed 3 reflective oval shapes that were flying in a triangle formation moving from north to south while slowly drifting in an easterly direction. The ships while keeping in formation zig zagged in all directions for about 20 seconds and then broke formation. 1 object travled west, one south and the third just disappeared. The speed they were traveling was much faster then any airplane I have seen in the sky so I would imagine they were flying at least 800 - 1000 MPH. There was no plane/vehicle/aircraft noise during the entire time other then the birds in the trees.

One separate object last to vanish was flashing. When I zoomed in with my camera, I noticed it was moving in a way that defied physics. I have pictures and videos of the encounter.

Bright orange light in black circular vehicle. Seen twice first time was a 20 seconds. It came back around second time it was seen longer for about five minutes. My neighbors are lighting fire works all around, so it's not a firework and vehicle is at about 1,000 feet. Can't be a helicopter heard no motors. After a few minutes the bright orange light dimmed and the vehicle was out of site. I am located in the LaGuardia Airport flight path, so it the same height of a plane, but it seemed larger than jetliner.
