As I was walking to my girlfriend house on a cloudy/foggy morning I stopped to take a break from walking from my mother's home. I start looking into the clouds and seen in what appeared to be in a triangular formation, 6 triangular shaped crafts crossing the sky at a low altitude moving very slow. I knew it wasn't a helicopter because it would have definitely made noise from the propellers as it was passing by.

Baldwinsville, NY
I was riding my bike in a westerly direction in Village Green, Baldwinsville, NY. The sky was cloudless, a perfect blue sky. Suddenly, I saw a very intense white light above me. Initially, I assumed it was an airplane with sunlight glinting off of metal. After a few seconds its light dimmed significantly. I could see a cylinder shaped object for a second then it vanished in thin air!

Sunday the 16th of September, 2018, around 6:05 PM, with a clear blue sky and no clouds around in New York City, my wife and kids were walking North on Broadway on our way home. She was a few yards ahead of me with our youngest and I was walking behind with our 15 year old. Around 89th St. and Broadway I noticed a reflection high in the sky, maybe a circular shape but not sure. I’m not sure if it was a light or if it was a reflection from the sun on the object because the view was coming in and out as it was moving north the same way we were walking. My 15 year old also took notice and he grabbed my phone and took a short video. The video captures a bright object but it was too high to tell what it was. It wasn’t an airplane because we saw airplanes flying around and we see them all the time. They always fly at a low level because they follow the same pattern into LaGuardia. We also see the pattern of airplanes flying into Newark Airport. It wasn’t a helicopter because it was way too high. It wasn’t a balloon because the movement wasn’t scattered the way a balloon moves with the wind and the wind at that time “I checked” was blowing SE at 8.1mph. This unknown object was moving slowly north then it slowly tuned towards the west heading towards the Hudson River that separates New Jersey and New York. Eventually we lost sight of the object because of the buildings. I’m writing here just in case someone also saw something, same date and time. If you want to ask me questions you may call me but what I wrote here is pretty much what I saw. I will see how I can send the video.

I am posting this for my friend who lives just across the way from me. She does not have access to a computer. We are very rural in the mountains, and late last night her and her two neighbors witnessed a large glowing orange ball in the night sky. I myself saw the same thing, except it was at 1 am I saw this. She said her dogs had been acting strange and howling and barking all night which is unusual they are older dogs and rarely bark. She said it flashed in the sky and pulsated she is very shook up by this. I told her I saw the same thing and not to worry. But she said the night prior she heard strange sounds outside her window all night like humming and then clicking. We were hesitant to do this and do not wish to use names. This is a very small town and we don’t want anyone thinking anything poorly of ((name deleted)). You just don’t have things like this happen here.

I had let my dog out in the yard and spotted a very bright light hovering low in the southeastern sky. It had a reddish white glow and no blinking lights. It never moved during the 15 minutes I watched it. I went back into the house wondering what I had just seen. Probable sighting of Mars? PD

On Saturday, August 25, 2018, at approximately 2056 hours Eastern standard time, my wife and I observed a glowing red sphere crossing the night sky. - The object’s flight path was south to north. - The speed of the object was comparatively similar to other planes in the sky, not the slowest and not the fastest - The altitude seemed to be a lot lower then 90% of planes/helicopters in our skies in our neighborhood - The object flew in a straight line, in what appeared to be a uniform speed the entire time we observed it, until it seemed to putter out for a second, and restart although dimmer now and then disappeared altogether - The object appeared larger then most planes at that altitude - The color was red and it seemed to have an afterburn, glowing outer edge. It appeared to be very much like a ball of fire in the sky - We heard no discernible noise from the object - The flight location would best be described as flying over a main road near our house. If you view a map, search for Stony Brook Hospital, in Stony Brook, New York. Follow the (Rt 97) Nichols Road, northbound from the hospital to where it ends about a mile or two north. The object appeared to fly over Nicolls road northbound, from Stony Brook Hospital, to its end, and continued its flight northbound, in the direction towards Long Island Sound and onto Connecticut My wife and I just took our dog outside of our house for a walk. We got about two houses two down our block. when I looked up in the sky I saw this glowing red sphere. I always look towards the sky to observe the location of the objects in the night sky. Initially I thought it was the planet Mars, since lately it’s been one of the most visible and largest objects in the night sky and is reddish in color. I quickly noticed it was moving and too large to be planet and called out to my wife to look up at it, who was somewhere behind me and several feet away, holding the dog by leash. We both thought the same thing, was it a comet? or a plane on fire and in distress? My iphone was in my hand, on and unlocked. I opened my camera application and thought I hit record. I noticed I didnt actually hit record, but was able to hit record, as the object flew briefly obstructed from my view by some trees. I recorded a 26 second video, before I lost sight of it. My wife was able to observe for a few more seconds and she described it as “it putter out” “then relit itself, but this time less bright then before“ then totally disappearing from her vision It was nothing like anything we have ever have seen If it was a comet, it didnt make a noise, have any burning tail, or have any large flames coming from it If it was a plane, it had no visible lights like any other planes we have ever seen or what was in the sky at the same time. It was a big and reddish in color, with what appeared to be rough edges in the same reddish color, which looked like flames

I was exiting a vehicle in front of the emergency room and I got a strong feeling to look it up ... I could clearly see the circular/ovoid craft from below it was right above me. It had some jagged parts on the front and back and I had a mostly classic saucer shaped with a dent in the back… And also seem to have some Half egg type appendages... it was radiating pink around it in some sort of obvious field… And behind it off the back portion of the craft I could see heat wafting several feet. I am mediately took on my camera as quickly as I could and started taking pictures and a video I have about two minutes worth of video. I've had it analyzed by three different very talented people with experience in video analysis and two of them are professional UFO researcher was a very substantial track record I don't want to mention their names or the results right would gladly after your analysis their analysis included a few interesting notes like they could ! see the pink field around it and determined that it was operating under its own control. We have not had time to respond to the witness, yet. PD

On 8/14/2018, at approx. 8:25 pm, I was walking my dog around a park in a populated suburban town on Long Island. It was a clear night. There was a crescent moon. Both Mars and Venus were visible, and I was very aware of their placement in the night sky. In fact, this is why I was looking up. I observed a red light, which I first thought to be a plane, but noticed it was moving in a zig zag pattern, and it got my attention. There was a plane either following it or flying with it. It was north of me, flying east to west. The light stopped and hovered. One light became 3, and then 5 or 6. This was instantaneous. They formed a circle. Each was bright red with a yellow bottom which appeared like a light. They stayed in the circle, and the plane seemed to fly through the middle of them. The event lasted around 2 minutes, but it could have been less. Two of the lights disintegrated and disappeared, then another, then the remaining 2. There was nothing left! Right before and during this, I kept losing my phone call to my friend. I was repeatedly trying to Facetime her so she could see it. I did manage to Facetime her long enough for her to see 2 of them. I tried to use my camera, but I was having trouble using that as well. It seemed to be frozen. I should mention, that I’m not one who uses the camera all the time, so this might have been because I’m not adept at it. The event seemed to have concluded (whatever it was), and I started walking home. Around 10 minutes later, to the East, a solid red light appeared in the sky. This did not have the same yellow bottom. Like the others, it dissipated, but this happened more quickly. I observed one or 2 more of the same in the next few minutes. I stopped seeing any lights around 8:45pm. I felt elated and excited by the whole experience.

About 9:45pm. We were watching falling stars, then out of the North sky these three objects appear in formation. They were Gold in color round but Fuzzy from the bottom. The three objects were about 1/2 mile up in sky and zoomed across in less than 20 seconds in a straight line heading south. There was no sounds. My wife looks at me and said what was that? I told he UFO.... This is my second time seeing things like this. Every night, I watch falling stars and I see about 6-8 satellites go by and we also have the airport from Montreal next by. This was definitely a group of UFO's going somewhere.

Stopping on a dime. Also had solid red green and orange lights and made no sound. It was amazing never seen that before and I have seen cool jets, choppers, and other things flying in the Marine corps. Thanks.
