Staten Island, NY
I walked outside during a lightning storm right before it started to downpour and noticed a black metallic object in the sky travelling further away. As it began to pick up speed you could notice the object spinning and had a silver/metallic tint to it. After about 50 seconds you can see it reflecting the trees beneath it, and it disappeared.

Bayshore, NY
8/16/17 23:07 I was looking up between the Vega and Hercules. (I was sky watching) Whatever it was it was stationary between them. It looked just like a star at first, but what caught my eye was the fact that its light intensity was fluctuating at around five to six seconds intervals. I thought at first it was probably the atmosphere causing the light fluctuation. It did this for approximately 30 seconds. But suddenly it got incredibly bright and it appeared to be getting larger and changing shape slightly as the light intensified. It slowly started moving to the east while its was intensely bright. Then approximately three seconds later, it got dimmer and its speed suddenly increased to an incredible speed across the sky in the same direction. I lost site of it over the horizon.

I was out on my balcony having a smoke before bed and noticed that the sky was very clear. While looking up admiring the view, I noticed many faint, pinpoint jade green lights in an elongated triangular formation. This is difficult to describe...the lights were fading in and out, it almost looked as if the tiny lights on this massive object were pulsing or something. Every few seconds a very faint orangish yellow light would sweep across it, almost like a spotlight. I kept rubbing my eyes because I was so boggled by this sight and just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I tried to take pictures but my phone camera wouldn't suffice. I went back in to my house to do a search online to see if someone might have reported this, or even better if I could find a video of it. I went back outside to look again and it was still there. It was stationary and this is really blowing my mind. Many nights I've noticed the color-changing orbs flashing in random areas amongst the stars, they come and go frequently, but I've never been alarmed by them, as I am so used to seeing them. And no, they aren't stars or satellites. This thing with the green lights was definitely a massive object sitting way up in the sky. It also seems a lot further away than the pulsating orbs, seeing that the lights were like pinpoints up there. It's quite extraordinary, and I have been racking my brain trying to find some sort of information about it. Of all the things I have witnessed in my life, this is worth reporting. What the hell can it be? It's driving me mad.

Manlius, NY
Large quiet craft moving very slow, almost hovering at a high altitude. Had approximately 4 possibly 5 very bright orange/red pulsating lights, almost a slow breathing effect. The light brightness made identifying the shape of the craft impossible. Seen south west from Hadley Ln. Video captured. Night before, I saw a woman and child staring into the sky at the same location, but didn't think much of it until after seeing this the following night. Could possibly be a very large recreational drone, not sure how high they are capable of climbing as this craft went into the clouds. There were commercial airplanes in the skies as well but they were traveling much faster and higher. Their light flashes were also faster.

At 11:30 pm on my way home I started seeing lights and flashes I thought it might be heat lightning but then I saw two formations of fighter jets I was amazed to find it only happening in one spot I saw wierd shadow in clouds, but talked only to my girlfriend I realized it but thought to my self I was seeing things but I read today Lithuania had same occurrence so I am deciding to post this. The witness reported over the telephone that the event began at 10:30 p.m., and that he saw something similar at 11:30 p.m., when he was standing at a bus stop. PD

Buffalo, NY
Buffalo, NY 7/31/17 Sometime between 9-11 pm, while sitting in my backyard, I saw a low flying oval shape for a split second, flying through lower branches of trees in my yard, moving in a west easterly direction. I believe it was bright green in the front and bright white in the back, about the size of a football and completely silent. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Background of observer: 62 year old woman, Masters Degree in Psychology. Worked for State of NY for 31 years. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be both quite sincere, and sober-minded. She reports that the object was back-dropped by the nearby trees, and not just against the nighttime sky. Hence, she was able to deduce that the object was fairly close to her position. PD

At approximately 1:52 AM, my cousin and I were sitting on the patio and saw an extremely large and brilliantly lit teardrop shape, fluorescent green, light blazing across the sky, from east to west. There wasn't any sound coming from it, nor were there any flashing lights.

Albion, NY
While outside on the back porch in a town just off Lake Ontario, my mother and her friend saw a low flying dark grey chevron shaped object. It made no noise at all, was about the length of two cars, and flew slowly toward the lake just above the treeline. The UFO had no lights and continued its path with no interruption or change in speed. About a year later, another friend of hers called her and told her she had seen the same exact object moving north toward the lake. There has been a lot of undocumented activity I’ve heard of in this area for years and my mom or her friends wouldn’t think of reporting what she saw so I’ve taken the liberty of sending it in.

Sitting on front porch with roommate around 00:30, noticed a object incredibly high in the sky moving much faster than any craft I've seen moving west. On course, the object dishcharged two objects that became bright and dimmed out, as if they were shooting into space. Once the objects discharged, the original object changed course to NE, stalled out, became increasingly bright and dimmed as if it was moving deeper into space. Minutes later, another object was seen moving incredibly fast in a NW direction. Object made a couple sharp zig zag maneuvers, changed direction to North and became increasingly bright to only dim out like the previous objects.

Selden, NY
Me and my father were driving back from dropping off my grandmother at her apartment and above the trees we saw a dark object in a triangle shape moving slowly along. There were 4 orange lights to outline the hape of the thing. I thought the orange lights were the same color as orange flares that I had seen recently before and had filmed. These orange lights moved together in this triangle shape and disappeared behind the trees. We didn't see it anywhere after this. I'm a total skeptic and not assuming this was an "alien ship from another world", but it was very very odd, and slightly unsettling. My dad was more alarmed than me. He kept saying "what the hell is that?!"

New York City (Manhattan), NY
I witnessed from the indie of my gym Where I was laying on mat staring outside up in sky when 1 cylinder/cigar shaped UFO appeared. It was rotating like a drill as it was also moving off axis and in a line towards the east. As it rotated you would be able to see 4 lights that would only be on 1 side and seen after it fully rotated. It has to be hundreds of feet long. Then after it appeared 4 other smaller craft appeared that were to me saucer or spherical that blipped in and out behind it as soon as it appeared like they were tailing it because it to me looked like cylinder was somewhat out control because it was rotating and tilting liek it was on some type axis but still maintained a path in a line. It looked exactly like that same cylinder sighting that was in UK by the officers.

Large cylindrical cigar shaped UFO traveling slow, rotating constantly, with lights at least 4 on one side. No wings. Must have been a mile long at that altitude. After a full rotation happened, and off axis followed by 3 to 4 smaller saucer like spheres that blipped in and out as soon as it appeared. I have pics and video.

Wappingers Falls, NY
It was 11:45 pm in Wappingers Falls, ny, I was on my way home from my friends house, when he said to me and my other friend "do you guys see that" when I looked we all were shocked and baffled of what we were looking at. It seemed to be a boomerang or triangular shape object that was hovering, but slowly moving at first I thought it was a plane until we followed it up the street for 1 minute and it just vanished. The sky was completely clear there was no clouds. None of us understand where it went. I went home after and I wanted to tell someone about it but I know no one would believe me and I thought this would be my only hope of anyone acknowledging what me and my 2 friends have seen.
