witnessed whitish "tic tac" shaped craft hovering above tree tops for approximately 5 minutes. made no noise at all. Then changed color to bluish glow, rotated and accelerated up and to the south at incredible speed. Literally disappeared in about 2 seconds. Several sonic booms were heard as it left. Neighbors' dogs were barking. Our pet cat was visibly upset.

I walked back into the house, and then looked out the kitchen window a few minutes later. I noticed the object was back once again. It flew exactly the same way and pattern for about two minutes and then banished. By banish, I assume took off at a high speed or some function unknown. It's very hard to explain in nature how this object appeared and "banished". I thought about what I saw that evening, but came to no conclusions. I thought maybe it was someone playing with a remote control plane or UFO; some toy a child may have got for Christmas. It couldn't have been, because it was floating way too high in the evening sky to have been a toy. Not only that, but the wind was very rough, and I can't picture someone out playing with a remote control toy plane or UFO. Again, it floated way too high to be a toy. I thought maybe it was a drone, and I googled and YouTubed drones to observe how they fly. It was NO drone either! It was too big, and it didn't fly like a drone. The object I observed didn't "fly" anyway, it "floated". It was no airplane, helicopter or anything of this nature either. Only conclusion of what the object was, is a UFO or something the government may be testing. I'm a perfectly sane, sound person. I have NEVER seen anything fly or float in the way this object did. I have never seen anything like it. . .

When driving eastbound on highway 690 in Syracuse, New York, my fiance and I observed and captured on video what appeared to be 4 oval like objects that formed a large triangle like shape. The color on these objects got brighter and they remained stationary until they suddenly vanished

At that point we were both up and we looked through different windows. My boyfriend saw a quick flash of light and the noise started to slowly go away. We didn't hear it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I just saw several orbs flying slowly in the Brooklyn sky. They were traveling from the west heading east in twos at first then one huge one came behind them. They were seemingly appearing out of nowhere. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I then noticed a few small pinpoints of light moving through the clouds at my 10 o'clock. It was making me a bit nervous. I began to notice more floating at my 12 o'clock. I stood still and observed the lights float overhead. One moved erratically for a few seconds like a fruit fly and then resumed its path. There turned out to be to many to try and count. They were all even in size and somewhat amber in color. They did not twinkle. It was very unsettling.

I witnessed the objects flying in a diamond pattern at a pretty slow pace while I was driving. The objects where’s orange in color. I looked away for 30 sex’s to try to find a good spot to pull over to try to get a picture and by time I looked up again the lights were gone.

Walking dog at night with wife. Wife saw object in sky which was very high glowing from orange to redish, moving from east to west very slowly. I thought it was a plane at first, then when we stopped walking to see if it was moving it was slowing down and came to a complete stop in the north western section of the sky. The size of it was like a typical star but slightly brighter than a planet and in a orange redish color then suddenly it had a slight burst of red and slowly started to fade. I have seen small aircraft and even high altitude planes that could fool someone for a min as a UFO but this WAS NOT a plane. I have never witness this before. It was definitive strange. I rushed to my computer which was only like 3 mins away to see where the International space station was and it was well past NY and in the lower Pacific Ocean region even though it did have a flight path in the area. Something was trailing it or something else is going on.

I was driving home when out of the sky I saw a bright green circular object streaking down towards the ground. As fast as I saw it that's how quick it disappeared. In my estimation, it was fairly close to the the surface, so much so I expected some type of impact noise, but I didn't hear anything. It just descended at a rapid pace and disappeared. The size of the bright green light was about a size of a medium size balloon ball, very bright.

Driving home, I very clearly saw a huge, BRIGHT green circle fly through the sky at a high rate and promptly disappear in the distance. It lit up the sky in its vicinity with a very bright green color, very distinguishable from comets or shooting stars. the circle was about half the size of a full moon. I saw it very clearly for about 3 seconds.

My wife and I were looking at the large full moon as we stepped outside our home around twilight. To the left of the moon, I saw a stationary red light in the sky. It reminded me of the red lights one may see on top of a tall antenna. I thought it may be a plane, but it did not move for an extended period. That's when I brought it to the attention of my wife. Shortly thereafter, the light dropped down in a rapid vertical descent. It remained visible. It paused a little and then rose vertically. The light also moved horizontally once or twice. Overall, it would move, remain still, and then move again. Lost sight of it after about five minutes as I tried unsucessfully to find the source of the light by driving toward the light. Since this occurred in a city, I was never able to find the light.

it started as me my wife, and my 11 year old grandson was taking a walk. we heard a chopper, and it came into view.. Suddenly, we noticed a large round bright white light moving steady without making any sound at all, other than the helicopter that was staying in a steady speed behind the craft, at a distance of about 100 yards. It was like the helicopter (was not) chasing the bright white light, but rather flying in formation by using distance behind the craft. We all got a very good look at this thing, and as it passed over us. I could faintly see a gray round disc craft!!!! I can say this for sure. I never really believed fully that there were aliens, as well as UFO's, but I do believe it now, as I saw one!!!! With my own eyes..

At approximately 8:45pm (20:45) on Tuesday 11/28/17, I stepped onto the back porch of a house in Brooklyn for some air (7th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues). My girlfriend and I were visiting the location; however, I was by myself when I stepped outside. I witnessed a silent triangular craft fly over. It was heading in a generally northerly direction, at an angle roughly perpendicular to the way the houses sit. There were multiple lights lining the sides, but not the rear of the craft. As such, it appeared to be a triangular craft, which could also look like a boomerang.

Clifton Park, NY
Above the Chevy dealership in Clifton Park I saw a reflective object in the sky. At first, all I saw was the light shining off the object and I thought it was a plane. Once I was alongside it, I saw that it was not moving. It looked like an egg shaped metal sphere about 500 feet high. I was driving so I could only glance at it.

My son sighted a bright red /orange glowing round object sitting right over horizon from his bedroom window. He thought, initially, that it looked like a full harvest moon but the real moon was a crescent in another part of the sky. I was able to see it as well and then we took pictures of it before it disappeared from sight a few minutes later.

Very high in the south eastern sky - very far above where airplanes fly - an airplane happened to fly by at the same time - 3 orange glowing rings, not much larger than stars, but large enough for me to see them and determine that they were circular in shape, were seen by me just as I glanced up at the sky. They were in a straight line; I could not tell if they were touching each other or not. Nevertheless, they were in very close proximity to each other. The line was straight but at about 30 degrees. After several seconds had passed, they took off in 3 streaks of orange moving upwards at a 45 degree angle and then disappeared. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that she is an excellent, and reliable, witness. PD

On Tuesday, November 21st, at around 9 PM at night while driving my friend home, she spotted 3 silent UFO’s almost directly overhead. I stopped the car and noticed the orange red objects flying slowly, and totally silently in an easterly direction. The shape of the ones I saw were elongated narrow triangles with rounded corners. We viewed them for several minutes until the trees stopped our view.

red fire ball like light hovering around the south end of town in the direction of the local campground locates along Lake Champlain, the object in question appeared in the matter of seconds gliding along the sky then hovered for at least 6 minutes before darting down ward and back upward again before shooting to the Vermont side of the lake and disappearing. Its color was a brilliant red and was a perfect sphere. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Craft was moving very fast and stopped abruptly. Hovered in the sky as it made a chilling sound. Then took off with amazing speed with no acceleration. As it flew away, it disappeared. The lights did not fade in the distance.

Greenwich, NY
3 lights observed in a triangular formation heading west to east. Altitude appeared to be very high as lights were not extremely bright. At first we thought it was stars but only then we observed they were moving slowly. Solid white no blinking. When they were about 30 degrees off the horizon, the leading light vanished went out then within 15-20 seconds, the left light went out and about 10 seconds late, the third light went out. Not a sound was heard the entire time. If it was just one light, one may think it was a satellite but to see the three in formation has us wondering. That's why I'm here. Someone had to have seen this as well???

3 VERY bright lights in sky, still. one would move away, then rejoin. Often a pair would be so close as to look as 1 light. Hovered over queens/atlantic yards area for at least 15 minutes. I saw from more the a mile away and the lights were VERY big and bright. Very still.
