New York City (Brooklyn), NY
Friday September 20, 2019. I looked out my window in Brooklyn, NY, and saw a very clear trail of exhaust in the sky. Out of curiosity I stood by the window observing and marking the time down. I happen to live in an area where airplanes regularly fly on a few set routes and I have gotten to know their pace/speed and general flight paths (severe weather permitting). There are also frequently helicopters flying slightly lower in the sky than the planes. The craft leaving behind a clear and consistent trail was moving at a remarkable speed . I almost felt as if I'd miss the entire event altogether. The craft showed a clear and low starting point and moved upwards into the sky and then proceeded to stay level at a certain altitude but moved rapidly from West to East. When it reached a certain area which I believe was over Queens, the trail abruptly stopped and the silver object leading it vanished. I continued to watch for its reappearance but it did not resurface. At this point I then saw another identical object do the exact same thing from the exact same starting point. This happened a total of 3 times with completely identical stories. The entire time was about 30 minutes but the individual flight for each was under a minute and the craft must have traveled miles during this time. The trails left behind were still strong and did not disappear or fade at all for at least an hour. As I mentioned earlier, I am also near airplane flight paths and the difference in speed between the two was too great to ignore. I also observed several, at least 3, black helicopters which seemed to be monitoring and following this event. One more craft started from the same point, this is a 4th, and was the same color and size and shape but instead of going West to East, it traveled upwards (North). The details are identical to the above statement but it happened about 30 minutes after I observed the first three which occurred pretty much one after the other every 10 minutes. I did not see any lights, I did not hear any noises or witness anything aside from what I have listed above.

My partner and I were outside our home in Friends Lake when we noticed a large bright white light in the distance that appeared to be a star. However, we noticed it was moving closer to us in the NE direction. There were no flashing lights, as would be expected to be seen on a plane. There was also no sound, as we usually would hear when a plane was passing over. It was a very clear night- to the point that we could clearly see the Milky Way. After traveling for approximately 3 minutes, the light made a 90 degree turn and headed SE. It appeared to disappear for about 15 seconds as it crossed through the Milky Way- which didn’t seem like much time to go such a distance. The light reappeared on the other side of the Milky Way- and appeared to “pop back out” at a higher rate of speed and then slowing to the previous pace. The light/object continued SE for about 30 seconds and then appeared to move straight up until it could no longer be seen. Had we both not seen the same thing- we would have thought we imagined the whole thing.

Bright white light. Round. No blinking lights to identify as an airplane. moved slowly across the sky then turned in an upward position and just went straight up towards the stars. It disappeared into the night sky. There was no clouds.

The object was hovering for over 40 min making no noise. It would move slow. Then it starting spinning And moving faster and then would change colors and go back to white. We do have video

Newburgh, NY
I was driving west bound on I-84, a few miles from the Hudson River crossing bridge into Newburgh NY and I noticed a massive (maybe 500ft) aerial vehicle, that had three white lights on the corners and an offset central red light. The lights were a bit brighter than an airplanes and as I drove past it towards the east, it seemed to be gliding, fairly slowly towards the west along I-84 on the westbound side. As my car was even with it I could see the underside of the craft and realized that it wasn’t a typical airplane, but my first impression was that it was a dark metal and looked like a “mother ship”. It was fairly low in altitude (I approximate less than 800ft AGL, using my skills as an FAA licensed UAV Pilot). After passing the craft, I was searching in my side view mirror for it, but couldn’t find it again.

Massive triangle craft moving slowly near I-84. Had 3 white and One red light. At first I thought it was a place as I was driving, but as I got closer it looked like a football field drifting at a fairly low altitude.

Massena, NY
While driving down route 37 just outside of Massena, NY, past Akwasasne, I witnessed what I believe to be some sort of flying object of light. It was about 25-3500’ off the ground. The sun was off the left of time and it was reflecting almost a brighter glare than what the sun could make. The object was dead ahead and moving left to right and would make more of a glare the longer I stared at it. It was to low and to big to be a commercial airliner in the air. There were a few other cars on the road but heading in the opposite direction. I went down to grab my phone to take a video of it and when I looked back up it was gone. I couldn’t find it at all. I stopped scanned all around. Nothing. It was gone.

Granville, NY
A couple nights ago on the way home at around 9 pm, I saw a bright light coming up along the road. It was exactly like this picture, except much brighter. At first it looked far off, but as I drove, it then looked real close and not to far up in the sky. It was so unusual that I pulled over to get a better look. Then I opened the window to get an even better look. It looked just like in this picture with the rays going in all directions. There were no flashing colored lights like a plane or jet. It must have been pretty bright because the whole area was lit up. What really hit me was the silence, it was dead quiet. No sounds whatsoever. Then I got a bit scared and reached for my phone to take a video or picture. I looked over to pick up the phone off the passenger seat and when I looked back, the light was gone. This area is huge pastures and hay fields. It wasn't anywhere in the sky, like it disappeared. For the next ten miles home, I scoured the sky, nothi! ng. I keep seeing this light in my mind and can't stop thinking about it.

Seen a really bright circle that was white in the middle, the it was yellow to orange to peach in color around the edges. I thought it was weird for the area then upon investigating the anomaly i was able to get a better look at the light. It was something I've never seen before. The object was still about 200 feet away. It was something I've never seen before.

Looked to be rotating. Difficult to see craft shape, but likely a disk. 3 then 5 blinking lights. Lights were white then blinked to a bluish color.

Endicott, NY
I was out on my porch at 20:35pm, watching the sky in the direction of the moon. Suddenly I noticed a round object that was the size of a star which was traveling at high speeds in the South East direction. For approximately 18 seconds the object had a straight trajectory. Suddenly, within 2 seconds, it changed the direction towards the North at a higher speed and it disappeared. I believe that it wasn't an airplane, nor did it have any blinking lights.

I went out side on my mother deck to have a cigarette. I happened to look up facing southwest. There was a yellow, almost sun like color object, it was like an orb hovering about 2,000 feet. As soon as I noticed it started to move very erratically, bouncing up and down while moving towards the northwest at a slow rate. It started dropping what appeared a sparks or something that looked like liquid metal on fire, same color as the craft. The debris glowed for a few seconds and then went out. It then stopped and it took off in a straight line at an incredible speed, so fast that it appeared as a line towards the northwest.

Now after that we ran our tent climbed inside wrapped in sleeping bags and fell asleep. I dont what time it was or the duration of that sublime experience. All i can say is When the morning came we woke uo to a noreaster fog and rain storm from hell. I basically lifted the whole tent like a pilliw case full of camping gear and dragged it to the car we bith climbed in and drove away fast.

Saw another report. Had to say I also reported 3 lights in triangle form with military aircrafts in pursuit. Was one giant object. In between lights were darker then the outside sky. Just cruising across the sky.

Seen 3 red lights over moriches bay. The lights formed a perfect isosceles triangle. Huge in size. Some aircraft seem to be observing the triangle...maybe helicopters, or possibly planes.

Canton, NY
It was September 1st 2019. I had been away all day, where I was is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours from my home. I was traveling back home on a dark country road around 11:15-11:25. I stopped to take a pee on the side of the road I was nearly home about 30 minutes left. Did i mention nobody else around. As I was hiding on the back side of my vehicle I noticed to my right lightning or so I thought. Wrong! So I said to myself get your phone stupid. I got my phone and for approx 2 minutes or more watched and recorded. There was what appeared to be two lights or big dots that where bright white-ish in color on top of each other slowly moving swaying side to side. There may have been a slight up and down motion as well and if moved the right way another light/dot seemed to appear making it almost like a triangle pattern. Let me tell you it was interesting, I wasnt scared but I wasn't waiting around to see what happened either!

I was sitting at my Family's Labor Day Party, talking to someone. All of a sudden, out of nowhere a bright blue-green-white steak started moving quickly across my Field of View parallel to the Ground, maybe a slight Pitch upward. All of a sudden, it accelerated very quickly and disappeared I looked like a slow-moving blueish-green Tracer Round, that is the only way I can describe the Color, except it was much larger and far off from us. I then asked the Person i was talking to, "Did you see that?" She said yes, but she was at a bad angle and just saw a bright white streak.

I walked outside and saw what appeared to be an orange twinkling star like thing hovering over something. It was much lower than any plane would fly and my initial thought was why is that star so large and orange? I have never seen anything like this in all of my 35 years on this earth. I cannot stop wondering what I saw in the sky.i stared at it fascinated by the size color and twinkling.
