Walton, NY
Saw 3 red/orange glowing objects moving south to north. The first two stopped and then a 3rd one came up behind them. They looked like fire but there was no flickering like fire. Just a steady, bright orange/red light. There was a plane flying from west to east that was in the vicinity at the same time. I'm 50 years old and have never seen any thing like this. They were moving fairly quickly and were not planes, lanterns or balloons. They were less than 5 miles away and did not make a sound. I could only hear the aforementioned airplane and nothing else. Can't explain it.

Not a big bright light but lightened up enough to where i was paying attention what started as a single white flashing light far away in the sky kept fly closer as it got closer i could see 3 lights in the shape of a triangle but kind of rounded a light in the middle with a red flashing light hovering the top middle light i instantly made my boyfriend come and see what i was seeing and he was shocked i stared out the window and seen the same light reappear in the same exact spot and come by the same exact way starting as a single light and turning into this flying object i looked closer out the window and could see the light where turning side ways and i looked like it was spiriling i have never seen anything like this before in my life but i witnessed this same event happen in about 10 minute intervals 4 times the same night and so did my boyfriend it flew by the same exact way and the sky was very bright for being so late at night im not a crazy person

I was looking at what I believed was a very bright planet, when I realized it was moving across the sky to the WNW. It was moving slowly and was about as bright as the brightest planet I’ve seen. I’m used to seeing all kinds of aircraft and have lived near airports and army bases most of my life. This thing eventually left a pinprick of a red spot but faded out before it had gotten far enough away TO fade out. I knew it wasn’t an airplane or a helicopter. I can only assume it was something to do with that Chinese spacecraft coming back into the atmosphere. This thing seemed to follow the curve of the earth. I am in a suburb with some light pollution, but it is VERY clear tonight, with the waxing moon fully visible. I am an amateur sky watcher and took basic astronomy in college. Witness seems to suggest that the object was traveling in a WNW direction. Satellites rarely travel to the west in a retrograde orbit. PD

I woke up at 6 in the morning as usual and opened my curtains. As I look East, I thought I was looking at a star flickering (as at times you do see them even in the early morning), but then it began to move. It would seem as though the light would shut off and then come on again in a different position. It then turned on and started moving all over the place so fast. It kept descending over on the Pine Bush area. Then it disappeared. The lights were bright yellow and slight orange. The craft looked circular in motion.

2 flashing lights seen directly over Lake Ontario about 500ft from shoreline. Started with one bright flashing orange light, too low to be a plane and was completely silent and too high to be a boat. Caught 5 min of footage halfway through another light appeared next to the first one for a bit, then shut off like a light switch. The lights came on/off for over 30min in different formations. I live directly on Lake Ontario and have seen these lights before! A craft foreign to the waters that’s all I know for certain!!!

We have watched both videos, and believe that the object behind the helicopter may be a bird, perhaps a seagull. We doubt that it is an alien spaceship. PD

I am reporting this here as recommended by someone who heard my situation. Woke up around 6am to the dog jumping on my bed and running in a circle before running away, never barking as she would if there was something or someone outside. I tried to go back to sleep but realized there was something lighting up my room. Again, tried to ignore the light thinking it was a neighbor going to work or something, but 20 minutes later I am still trying to get to sleep and the light was so bright I could see it flashing even though my eyes were closed. I got out of bed and crept around the dark room looking outside for signs of someone messing with me, or a car, etc - nothing. My only 2 neighbors at the top of this dead end hill were already gone for work. I realized the light was only on one side of the room, in the window , illuminating it in the same way a lightning bug would, except it illuminated the whole 5 feet of window space/frame. I looked all around inside the room, in the windowsill, and what I could see from the window, nothing but the uphill sight of trees with so much snow I can see anything that moves out there, but saw nothing and heard nothing. At this point I got scared, because I realized the only place it could be coming from that I couldn’t see, was directly underneath the window: a place I couldn’t see unless I went outside and I was too scared. The next day, though, I checked and there were no footsteps or marks in the snow so that wasn’t where the light was coming from. I have blue solar lights out there, but this light was green like christmas light green. The light was on steady for 10 seconds, off for 5, and it lasted so long that after not being able to find the cause I got into bed with a knife and just sat listening for sounds, to get up and react to, nothing but the light, and I fell asleep counting the seconds of the light pulses, strangely seeing it with my eyes closed. I live on the edge of a large uninhabited area that borders a rock quarry. Also close to the borderline between Binghamton, NY, and Conklin, NY, where I see there was a reporting 50+ years ago. A lot of military contract type of businesses (BAE, IBM, Lockheed, etc) so I haven’t thought twice about the military (looking) helicopter I see or hear 2-3 times a week but wouldn’t you know that the day after these lights scared me, Helicopter (or multiple) kept going over this house repeatedly, at least 10 times between 9 am and noon, to the point that I stopped paying attention. Just for the record, the only other strange thing here is once in awhile I hear a helicopter sound like it is right above but then there will be nothing there, absolutely no craft yet the sound as if it is close.

On February 21st, 2018, at around 8:30pm-ish, my two friends and I witnessed a triangular shaped UFO near St. John Fisher College. The object was a large black triangle, with a bright light on each end of the object. The object also had grey lines on the bottom, which were visible as a result to the light. My friend pointed it out to us and thought it was a drone. The more we looked at the object, we realized that it was not a drone, it had to be something else. We were only able to look at the object for about 15 secs because it vanished out of no where.

My friend and boyfriend and I were standing on my porch when we noticed up the road the was a almost coming from the ground there was no way it was a street light or a car because it no on was around and we live in the country, so we were staring at it trying to come up with a logical explanation for what it was and we started to walk towards it and it disappeared about 5 minutes later a car came from the opposite direction towards where we saw it and when the headlights got the area there was nothing there

I was looking out my back door and saw a light to my right came out and looked at it i then yelled to my wife to come look at it but she didn't want to get up but i really yelled come here and look she could tell by the way i was yelling there was something there we was looking at a oval shaped light about three feet up and down twenty to twenty feet long give or take' looked like fire yellow red and orange could not see anything on top bottom or sides. no smells or sounds either it was a clear night also not really dark i believe it was some kind of heat exchanger we were looking at. It slowly moved away and was gone . I live two miles from ft drum but it did not move towards ft drum. It went towards the lake . Ive seen all the aircraft from the fort and was in the army for four years i have never seen anything like this. There is no one to tell this to who do you call . So ive been sitting on this for almost four years. Ithink it was some kind of stealth ship. Thank you for your time . I'M not good with a computer as you can see.

I need to start this by admitting that the three of us who witnessed this had taken LSD about 20 minutes prior to our sighting. Despite this, the drug had not had enough time to take effect, and I am confident we all saw what we saw. Two friends and I were going to break into this abandoned cabin on top of the mountain and spend the night. We all took a tab of acid at the bottom, and started walking. After about 10-15 minutes of hiking, I remember noticing flashes of lights in the corner of my eye. We had flashlights to navigate the dark, so I didn't think much at first, assuming I was just seeing our own lights. The light would shine like a spot light, piercing a small area, and moved light a search light. It was almost like those lights at a movie premiere or something. It was intermittent and inconsistent, happening at different times, with different amounts of beams each time. We kept walking and I ignored it. I thought maybe I was just seeing things. I didn't feel like I was tripping yet but I blamed it on the acid at first We walked for about 5-10 minutes more before coming to a quick stop. We each caught our breath, drank some water, and one of my friends starts playing with his ken dama (Japanese ball toy). He lands a couple tricks, all whole this lights are strobing here and there. I ignored it and just watched my friend play, landing some nasty tricks. But one particular strobe hit us just the right way, and I noticed my friend stop for a second and look up in the direction the light came from. That's when I asked if anybody else had been seeing these lights. As soon as I said something, we all excitedly started to repeat each other. We had all been seeing these lights and ignoring them, thinking it was either our own flashlights or just apart of the high, yet none of us felt as if we were tripping yet. We turned off our flashlights, and the strobes continued. They came from all different places, but all in about the same direction, we didn't have to turn our bodies to watch them all, coming from the west of us if I remember correctly. We sat and watched for about 5-10 minutes before they're seemed to stop. We all still felt sober. We continued our walk but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. We finally got to the abandoned cabin about 20 minutes later. It was about this time I felt the drug start to kick in. We spend the night in the cabin without anything strange happening, but none of us still know what we saw. The next morning we left the cabin. While hiking down, we heard the distant sound of a snow mobile. My one friend (who's idea it was to stay at this cabin) prompted us to hide. We jumped to the side of the trail and waited as the snowmobile neared. It was a neighbor of my friend. The cabin, as it turned out, wasn't truly abandoned. It still the property of a friend of the neighbor on the snow mobile. The neighbor checks in on the cabin from time to time while out riding. We hoped he would drive on by this time, as we had left quite a mess from the previous night. As we get back to my friend's house, we hear the snow mobile coming back down the mountain. My friend prompted us to run. I had no idea where in the woods I was so I stayed behind my friend like my life depended on it. I had no idea where our other friend went but he sprinted the opposite direction We ran till we got back towards the road and his behind a trailer quickly. My friend that I had followed just the noticed that out other friend wasn't with us. As soon as he asked where he went, we heard someone scream "HEY YOU THERE". Instantly my friend got up to continue the run home and I followed without hesitation. We made it back to his house and ran up to his room. I was gonna grab my car keys (which I had left in his room) and go drive around looking for our friend, but he showed up before I made it out the door. Out of breath, we excitedly recount what had just happened thinking we had gotten away, but the neighbor had was able to track the prints in the snow back to the house. From the room we watched him turn around and go to his home, unsure what his next move was. We started to plan for the rest of the day when we saw two State Troopers drive down the road to the neighbors house. Once again, without hesitation, I got out of there. My and the kid that ran the opposite direction left our friends house. I dropped him off at his house, went back to mine, and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was told that the friend we had left had gotten arrested for Trespassing. Here's the weird part. When he was taken in and questioned, they asked about the lights. From what he told me they wanted to know if we were the ones shining the light, or if we even saw it. From what he told me, he denied seeing or knowing anything. Before being brought in he told his mom and dad what we saw, and they told him not to say anything about it. His father had told him that he had seen similar lights in the Mount decades ago. Over 5 years later, I still have no idea what we saw

while standing on my east facing deck I noticed an oval shaped object heading north to south, just above a tree line at approximately five hundred feet. The object was moving at a extremely high rate of speed. There was no noise associated with the object.

I pulled over. This large object glided in front of me. No sound at all. It looked like a goal post with lights all over it and the under belly was oval and lit up gliding past me. My video does not do justice to what I saw, it's much larger then the video shows. I assume all the bright lights on it caused a poor video. Theres a strange noise on my video that I can't explain where it's coming from. 2 cars pass by, other then that I was alone in silence. Very big object, all lit up, no sound, gliding by me. NOT an airplane!! We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found here to be sincere, and passionate about her sighting. We have viewed the video, and the object she describes above is not at all apparent to us. We see a small, lighted object, which appears to be an aircraft in flight, with standard red and green navigation lights visible. However, the witness insists that she had seen something else. PD

Saw 3 dark orange-brown orbs in a very tight triangle formation, although at one point one of the orbs leap-frogged another one. Initially, I thought it was lazer beams pointed at the sky, however their were no clouds, thus nowhere for the beams to shine on. It hovered above my head for a second and then flew across the sky at such incredible speeds that it vanished beyond the horizon in a matter of seconds.

At first I guessed that it was a reflection off a plane (2 airports are nearby), but I don’t see how that’s possible because the sun was behind it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was driving to work on I-87 South bound, between exits 14 and 13, and all of a sudden, I saw an object, flying from the northeast toward the south. I thought at first it was a plane crashing because of the size. It was massive. The size was approximately 30 yards across and it was in the shape of a mushroom/whale tail, almost triangular, but not. The color was bright neon green and there was a darker neon green light around the perimeter of the object and then a lighter neon green light on the inner part. This object just appeared in the sky and lit up and then disappeared again. It was traveling so fast, similar to shooting star speed. And the length of time I saw it was approximately 3 seconds. It was also about 1/4 mile in the air, as thought it seemed. It was low, like a plane would be if it's in mid-landing.
