Me and my friends were chilling outside in our front yard at night time around 23:00 hours. As we looked up at the sky, we seen a triangular shaped object flying in the sky just off route 104. We were in the town of Ontario, NY. The unknown object then did a circular turn and changed lights and speed. We were all shocked and nervous when we saw this. We didn't know who to call. The object then projected a beam of white light and then it vanished. We waited outside longer to see if it would reappear and it did. This time it was two of them.

I looked up into sky after returning home late from work and looked up into the sky. I saw a long formation of craft sequentially appearing equally spaced in a straight line appearing at like 70 degrees and disappearing at 85 degrees. I don't know how long this was going on before I noticed it.

I was moving my mother in law to Cleveland from Massachusetts, around 18:57 I was driving the uhaul truck in the front and my wife driving the car following me, I was mesmerized by a flock of migratory birds, when I was looking at them I noticed and silver object kind of covered in a reddish flame or aura outline it seems like a fireball going up but it was stationary. The object was to the left and in a flash it it was in front of us I tried using my phone to take a picture but before I was able it vanish out of sight. I called my wife to see if she saw it too but she didn't but her mother was in the car with her and she saw it.

Congers, NY
Beautiful moonlight night, with a few scattered clouds, I was looking at the “Bee Hive” stars with naked eye as I waiting for my dog to do her business. She then ran behind my legs and cowered, Clouds moved and revealed a craft, seemed massive . It resembled an Air Force drone except no wings and about 1000 time bigger. It was rectangular with curved corners, a engine (?) took up about half the front then up top a long line resembling a plane cockpit, with a few lights in the windows. It was air force grey, definitely seemed man made but nothing that I have never seen , and I am a military buff. I looked away to tend to dog, looked back and it was still there, starting to move. No noise or bright lights or trails but it disappeared in a flash. I can still clearly see the image in my mind. I said why would they travel back to this time, there’s nothing much goin on. Then today, with the market crashing, the corona virus, the illnesses in Japan and France, kind of eerie.

It was in the sky away from any buildings or light, I have seen it from my balcony I am on the top floor. I have seen one, it would vanish and come back to the same spot. It was an orange craft, and whenever a plane came by, it would vanish. And come back once the plane was gone. The light on the orange craft would glow from lighter or brighter. It just kept disappearing and reappearing.

Driving into work and I pulled into parking lot and slowed down and in the sky was a very shiny silver sphere, the sun glistened off it, I figured I would park and get my phone out but when I looked back up it was gone, I even drove back the same way I came in thinking it was only visible at certain angles but it was gone, I wish I would’ve never took my eye off it, it was stationary and not moving and reminded me of a round ball of mercury, mirror like reflection

It first caught my eye cause it looked like the INS was making a pass. But it seemed to slow down its speed then a flash of white light took over around the object. It looked to then go straight up.

Chazy Lake, NY
On a cold windy winter night, I was driving on Route 374 by Chazy Lake heading west. I saw a bright white light at the far end of the lake. At first, I thought someone put up a bright street light. As I continued west, I could see it better and by the time I was by the bay at the end of the lake (toward Lyon Mt.) I saw it close up. It was a huge white light sitting a few hundred feet in the air over the shoreline and not just bright but SCARY bright! I slowed down to get a good look and became very scared because of how close it was and how big and frighteningly bright! It didn't move at all – and I didn’t notice any sound either (of course I stayed inside my car). I would say it was probably about 500 feet away and at least a couple hundred feet in the air. It was just so unbelievably BRIGHT! I was very scared and took off and kept checking my mirrors to see if it had moved from the lake to the road behind me. It was definitely NOT: an airplane, helicopter, Chinese lantern, balloon, planet, or the moon. If someone could take something the size of a car (guessing only), turn it into the brightest whitest light you've ever seen, and prop it up 200-300 feet in the air over the shoreline at the end of the bay where no one lives, then I'd say it was that. I travel by the lake frequently and never saw anything like that before.

I live in a corner apartment on the 7th floor of a high-rise in the center of the city with a 180 view did not see the object appear but noticed it in the NW sky at about 15-20 degrees off the horizon sat motionless from 8:15pm to 8:45 pm when it started moving in a northwesterly direction appearing to hug the northern U.S. border through my binoculars I could see it was round with very bright lights all around. It was out of sight in about 10 min. The object reappeared the next night at about 30 mile more westerly position

I was on the phone with my friend when I saw a red light over Flushing Meadow Park. I am always on the lookout for bizarre objects in the sky, so I knew this light was out of the ordinary. I kept my eye on it. Sure enough, the light began to shift. While I was observing it, still on the phone with my friend, it began to shift into a beautiful green light shaped like a butterfly. It ended up looking like one of the alien space crafts from the video game Galaga. I was so nervous that the spacecraft would disappear if I caught video of it, so I just kept observing. It finally shifted into a blue light, and shifted into a shape that looked like a helicopter and landed somewhere beyond the horizon. It came back up into the sky and shifted color to something that could look like an airplane. It was definitely aware of me observing it. As I was leaving the park, it stopped several times, but every time I looked at it after that, it began to move across the sky again as if it were just an airplane. Flushing Meadow Park is located near several airports, so UFO activity can often go undetected.

Driving home from work spotted a large yellow/orange light, thought it was maybe a planet. Changed shape from circular to oval. had blinking lights underneath. Was moving very very slow, and hovering. Kept changing shape. Followed to Herkimer, NY, then the light got distant, could not see anymore.

I saw these from my two story house window... it made me get out of bed on a rainy cold night and go in my back yard and film..... when I was looking from my bedroom window I saw about three of these orange orbs to my window level.... I went outside and I saw a few more... at first I could see through them and I was asking myself if they were Chinese lanterns?! But in my neighborhood this doesn’t happen ...... it looked see through and then solid and it floated on and then the light of the orb would get brighter and I couldn’t see through it anymore ..... after this I saw about three more orbs... in my video I only captured two..: but I was so shocked....

Don't get confused with the two airplanes in the middle. Look up higher and to the left and you going to see a white line. It then disappears and then reappears. Then immediately it moves left and downward so fast it makes the two airplanes in the middle look like they are just sitting there. Then at 9 seconds if you put the video in slow motion, you will see it the zigzagging so fast in slow mo, as if it's going supersonic speed and it seems to disappear while going left. If you look at the sky as I move the camera down to stop the video you can see it come back and drop down around 30k feet in a second

Was taking my evening walk and noticed a great deal of air traffic all over the sky. One pulsating circle captured my attention as it was stationary. I thought it maybe a Helicopter until I ran in the house to grab my binoculars. It was this crazy pulsating multi colored lights that was shifting to the north, then it would stop..then shift again. It was so low it started to wig me out. It was huge, not a drone. I can't imagine it was a satellite so low, right above the houses. Then it ascended and disappeared.

My husband was trying to dig out our truck and trailer, which was caught up in the snow at the end of our driveway. He noticed a triangular shaped craft overhead in the Southwest. It had 3 lights, one at each corner. He saw a stream of white light connecting the craft to the ground. It got brighter then the light stream disappeared. He is not sure if the light came from the ground or the craft. He called me and I went out on my porch to see it. I think I saw a red light on the left side of the craft. I saw another craft, possibly a small plane with blinking lights in the sky, but it didn't come in contact with the craft. He got busy working on the truck and by the time he finished about 8:00 pm, I looked out and it was gone.

I was crossing the Whitestone Bridge during the Super Moon coming into the city. I was staring at the moon as it as a cloud passed in front of it. It was beautiful. Off to the side on my left I saw a very large flash of white light in the distance, which I took to be maybe a helicopter, or light of a plane for some reason. I followed to where I thought the light would be next, say beyond the cloud, or further away or closer to us if it was a flying thing. A few seconds later the clouds had left from in front of the moon, and the light flash appeared again, but in the same exact spot. There was no plane, or building, or cloud, just a flash of white and was very high in the sky or so it appeared from my vantage point. It was very strange. Strange enough for me to write to this site.

Three star sized objects,thought it was Orion's belt until they were actually traversing in a North Eastern path from the Western side of the Valley here. They were also in a linear formation approximately the same altitude as Jetliners, no blinking lights,sound or vapor trails.With my hand I gauged they were spaced the distance apart from my thumb tip to knuckle,about one and one half inches.

I was wrapping up outside patrols for the night when I noticed a bunch of shapes that looked like hot air balloons. They were coming in phases one group had a few of them others had up to 8 or 10 of them. They were spaced out it wasn't like they were all traveling in one group
