Large red orb light UAP, moving very fast for its size with NO sound… seemed to emit a light “ shroud” around it as seen In video. Covered the distance of two houses only 40 yards away from my position within seconds. Disappeared after breaching other side of tree. Cannot upload video bc it exceeds the maximum size allowed on website

While sitting outside an object popped up out of absolutely no where as we were both looking in the same direction. It traveled faster than anything we’ve ever seen before. But slow; like it was driving. Like it had a destination. I can’t even describe it. For about 40-60 seconds. It was extremely bright. Bright red. Reflection almost made it seem circular with an orb like shape, but focused, or screenshot, it’s oblong with black shapes at the top & or bottom it seems, one photo from my fiancés phone has a black dot in the middle…. I have a 31 second video, I stopped by accident , pressed second again - which I’m positive of - and recorded traveling just a bit more and it disappeared out of no where, I freaked out with excitement and stopped recording and went to go back to watch and it was no where to be found. I’ve tried uploading videos to other sites and I can’t get them to upload. I left a voicemail on your site and I really hope to share these with you. Someone needs to see these..

Coxsackie, NY
Was sitting on my couch on the phone when I saw a very bright light on the water of the lake in front of the house. The moon would have been behind me at this time not in front of me so I was intrigued. Walked outside and saw an incredible bright light in the sky. I took some pictures and ran inside to get binoculars. After viewing through binoculars you could make out the shape and structure. Bright lights on top and bottom of the circle with a perimeter of smaller lights wrapped around the outside/middle of the craft. The craft was stationary and visible from the western hemisphere for around 15 minutes then took off towards Greenville NY heading west.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I was compelled to report this because of the unusual nature of the experience. This was seen on the roof of a residential building on 2nd Ave in East Village, Manhattan. The video shows a point of view looking at Queens/Brooklyn. The roof is about 15-16 floors in height. I was looking towards the east sky and noticed a bright flashing white light which appeared to be at a very high altitude and moving fast. The object was not moving like a typical airplane or helicopter. It appeared to be in the direction of and directly above LaGuardia airport. There were planes in the sky flying towards LaGuardia that are not shown in the pictures or videos because by the time I got my phone out to record they were out of view. The object moved looked like it was moving very fast and able to stop and stay stationary in the air at times, and it was emitting a flashing bright white light not familiar to me to be a typical aircraft. I have included a picture with a drawn red circle, where when you zoom in you can see the shape of this object. I could not tell if it was changing shape while in motion.

On the night of May 6th, 2023, I was walking my dog some time shortly after 10 p.m., when I happened to look up through the budding branches of a tree in front of my neighbor’s house, and noticed that the stars in the sky seemed to be moving. I thought my head was spinning or something, so I pulled the dog over and away from the tree to get a better look, and I clearly saw the following: there were little lights that looked like stars fading into view, before traveling directly straight upward and fading out again. Three to four of them would be visible at a time; as the one on top was disappearing, a new one would be reappearing at the bottom. I estimate that I was looking into the sky at a 40 degree angle from the ground, and this lasted from about 30 seconds to a minute, before everything suddenly faded out before my eyes. Their movement was perfectly vertical and perfectly regular (same speed and same distance apart). Everything appeared and disappeared in the middle of the sky at the same level; there were no clouds to obscure my view if they might’ve been traveling up from the horizon, and I could clearly see many other stars around. Further up northward, I could clearly see Venus, still visible in the sky, which was extremely bright, and looking a ways to my left, further south, there was another star which was at a similar level to my eyes as Venus. The lights I saw appearing and disappearing occurred somewhat close to the right of that other star I just described (sorry, but I do not know which star that was), and I believe this would have been occurring directly out over Lake Erie, although I have no idea how close or far away they were other than to say that they seemed to me to be at a great distance (due to their consistent visible likeness with stars). But that is a guess. I have tried to make sense of this in my mind, but in all my years of looking up at the sky, I have never seen anything resembling this, nor can I rationalize what normal phenomena it could have been. It was as if many spacecraft had lined up to leave the Earth’s atmosphere and were following each other in a perfect rhythm, traveling horizontally (fading in at the bottom) and then vertically before leaving. The other way I could describe it was as if there was a giant, narrow ferris wheel or disc turned vertically up and down in the sky, with lights on its edge, which was turning, causing the lights to appear and disappear; the lights disappearing on top had reached the summit of the wheel, faded out and disappeared behind the wheel, and reappeared at the bottom. This would explain the machine-like regularity of the movement, but I SAW NO OBJECT. I only saw lights. I must emphasize that these are only my best ways of describing what I saw; not claims as to what it actually was. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I was having a fire for my kids and other kids in the neighborhood when I looked up and saw 4 moving stars horizontally in a line. The top one would vanish and a new one appeared at the bottom. Then there were 2 and then they dissapeared. I said look, do you guys see that. They did. All of us saw it. I yelled for my brother to come look, at that time my daughter grabbed my phone and shot the video. Only 2 lights are visible during the time we finally took the video [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

We were walking on Grant St. in Centerport, New York, approximately 9:15pm. It was dark, with some clouds. My friend noticed 2 orbs hovering in the western sky. They were apart from each other but seemingly aligned. One disappeared, then the other was gone. No sound.

My 17-year old spotted a large, very bright object in the sky that ascended with a glimmering pale bluish-white light illumination propulsion. When he began to film the object is stopped ascending and remained idle in the sky for a couple minutes until it vanished. Two brand new iPhones phones were filming the object, one overheated and the other lost complete charge. Digitally documented through the night. The object reappeared briefly the next couple hours behind a nearby star. There was no noise generated. There was little movement by object once we identified it in the sky. The object was identified in protected FAA commercial airspace but did not see anything on the FAA data tracker. Oddly, we were the only two people to see object in our immediate area as it was still very light outside. This is the sending sighting in the same area in two years.

Was standing outside my car eating dinner when I saw a strange light. It was bright and appeared to be hovering. I knew it was odd so I took two pictures. Right after I took them I seen what appeared to be two fighter jets that spilt up and circled around craft. I never seen anything like it in my life

Spotted 2 objects outside of my place of employment around 3 am. Both UAP/UFO were below the cloud overcast as it was a raining off and on. The one closest to the building changed shapes and colors (flickering effect). No sound was emitting as they stayed stationary in the sky.

My friend Ian and I were taking my daughter Karlie for a ride so she can nap. I was driving and I saw something in the sky with many lights on it. It was too big to be a plane and it wasn't making any sound. It was completely quiet! I decided to park the car and use my iPhone 12 to try to get a picture of it. We were almost at someone's house on the corner when I took the picture you are seeing now. In that past I've seen things but never really got any solid evidence. I took 3 pics in total but I got only one good one. The first one is the one I'm sending you now. The second one idk what it took a pic of and the third photo it was hidden behind the trees. The strange thing is after taking the photo, it was different than what we saw with our naked eyes. As we got closer to the craft or it got closer to us, I decided it was time to leave. There was a light coming off it like a searchlight or a beam to take us captive. I think there was a lapse in time of 30 mins that went by that we can't explain. This craft was HUGE maybe big enough to be an aircraft carrier! It had red and white lights. It definitely changed shape or appeared different in the photo than the craft we saw with our eyes. Ian and I both agree that we couldn't see what it really looked like with our naked eyes, but the phone captured it the way it is, saucer or disk-shaped!

Live at the base of the Catskill Mountains. Walking dog at night in my back yard. Looked up..West..towards the mountain range. Saw this diamond shape object. It did not move…..but had a starburst-twinkle like pattern. Remained stationary for about 5-8 minutes…..then just disappeared.

Was driving and this stationary bright light was just there for so long. Parked at a beach that seemed closer and it was still there. Almost looked like it was over the water, but you could see the other side of the water where another town was & we don't know. It was confusing. Didn't move at all, if any movement it looked as though it was almost lightly lightly hovering in a counterclockwise circle ⃔up then back down and up but micro movement to the naked eye if any. Tried to take a video it was so hard to get it to focus. Almost looked like the light was diffracting from a triangle like shaped object. We are still mad confused, it didn't leave and eventually we left and went home. It wasn't Sirius or Venus, or any plane we saw planes flying around and the object was a much larger light in comparison but also looked much lower than where the planes were. I don't think the object was actually that big, but that it was lower and therefore looked bigger than the plane lights. Could have been nothing but it felt like it was something, I was so confused why no one else was sussed out. It was a beautiful night as well and you could see all the stars, but there was a bit of haze where the object was so not all the constellations could be seen to the naked eye but planes and the object itself were clearly visible. Our coordinates (approximately, doing this the next day so its as close as I can figure out) 40.83650°N, 73.65194°W Object Coordinates (Direction we saw it approximately)

I was at a park with my boyfriend and snapped 4 photos within 1 minute. Later when I was in the car comparing which was the least blurry to post, I discovered an image of a flying object over the empire state building. There weren't any planes in the area at this time, and no possible way for one to show up within seconds between these pictures.

April 2, 2023 Multiple UFO's Flying And Hovering West Hempstead NY Time: 8pm While I Was Watching Them( UFO'S), They Were Watching Me Very Mind Blowing And Can't Sleep Nor Function Properly At All Since I Have Seen What I Saw. What Is Going On? And What Is The Government Or Military Or Anyone Somebody Is Doing About This Situation To Keep The Public Safe?, Especially Me And My Family Safety Cause While I Was Watching Them(UFO's), They Was Watching Me Right In My Face And I Didn't Even know This At All Nor Did I See Them At First Until I Reviewed Footage I Have. They (UFO's) Didn't Come Just One Night, They (UFO's) Continue To Come Every Night Until Present Time. Me Nor My Family Feels Safe And That's Not Good At All Very Disturb By What I Sighted. Okay, Now I Believe I Caught Some Kind Of Arrival Or Something. It Was Multiple UFO's Space Crafts And The Sky Was Very Dark ,But The Sky Looked Lit Up And Changing Colors Bright In The Background When It Was night. I Was So Shocked Cause I Knew That Sound, I Was Hearing For A Very Long Time, Was Not A Plane Nor Was It A Drone. When I Heard Them ( UFO's} Coming, I Jumped Out My Bed And Looked Out My Window And I Saw The First UFO At Or Around 8pm. It Was Round With Multiple Colors Underneath It And With Multiple Lights Going All Around It. The UFO's Was A Circle Shape Round, It Was Moving Slow Motion, But Kind Of Fast Cause It Flew Over My House Coming From The West Direction Heading East Direction Very Low Below The Night Clouds And The UFO's Were Flying Towards A Bright Light That Was In The Middle Of The Sky, Lit Like It Was The North Star, But Instead The Bright Light Was in the South Direction. I Was Looking At Them (UFO's). Then I Saw The Second UFO Following Behind The First One, Less Then A Minute Apart And Then The Third One I Saw, By Then After Seeing The Third One, I Ran Upstairs And Started Taking Footage. They Flew Into The Night Clouds And Started Hovering, Forming A Pattern While In The Sky Clouds. They Would Glow Like A Light Bulb, Then Fade Out Slowly And Then Pop Right Back Bright Again Or Slowly Bright Back Up. There Is Footage Of The Sky Background Changing Colors And Multiple UFO's. There Is Footage Of A Being's With Some Kind Of Weapon, On Top Of My House Roof In The Back Of My House Watching Me, I Had No Knowledge Of It At The Time I Was Recording The Footage. There Is Also Footage Of A Being Finger Or Arm Whatever It Was, It Looked Like ( The Movie E.T ) Finger, It Was Moving And Directing A Very Tiny Light ,That Was Moving In The Direction ( The Being) Wanted It Too. That Tiny Light The Being Was Controlling, The Being Directed That Tiny Light In My Face While That Being Was Right Above My Head Or Right Next To Me, On My House Front Roof Without Me Having No Awareness Of It's Presence At All I Didn't See It At The Time I Was Recording The Footage From My Upstairs Window Until I Reviewed My Footage. It's Both Very Mind Boggling And Boggling At The Same Time Cause I Can't Stop Thinking If I Caught By Accident, The Being's Trying To Possible Abduction Me And Yes I'm Very Afraid Yes And My Family. Give Thanks In Advance For Taking Time Out To View My Story .

I happened to look out a west facing window to see if my solar lights were working at end of my driveway, and saw a plane with its lights flashing over my house, then I noticed a fast moving non blinking light through trees to the west that was changing direction quickly. It seemed far off and I thought it must be moving very fast. It made right angle turns and at one point it was going in a circle. I braced my head on frame of window and made sure that it was moving like that, and not me. Also could see its progress compared to sparsely spaced branches on tree. Am convinced that it wasn't an optical illusion and was some kind of craft. I know that stars will seem to move in a circle when standing outside, just because of your head moving slightly. After about 3 minutes, I blinked and it was gone. This the first time I have seen something I couldn't explain. Just a point of light.

I was outside looking towards the direction of the water. It is very dark in this area. In the sky I saw 6 red lights. 3 together in a circle and the other 3 together in a circle. They moved aligned with each other from left to right in a dance for a few minutes until it literally zipped away.

Red orange orb very fast shoots across the field behind the trees and curves down . Looks like it close but I don't know. I've seen the same orb twice now in the same place. Definitely not a flare. Very fast . Back in 20016 roughly I also seen a v shaped something in the sky . As I drove down Rutland hollow RT. Town of wilna ny . Two then four lights light up then all was gone . It was after dark in the fall. Someone on Facebook posted seeing it too.

Looked up noticed 3 lights in a staight line formation assumed it was a plane as its in the landing path for airport they went out of view due to tree cover. Drove down road a half mile noticed lights appeared again going on then off left to right and as last of 3 lights went out the sky was completely empty nothing there it was a clear blue evening sky so I was expecting to see some sort of object but there was nothing. I live within 4 miles of sighting about 2 hrs later I saw two fighter jets fly over in the night sky while I was outside with my dog.

I live near JFK, so airplanes fly by often. On this morning, I was looking out and noticed a line of bright lights in a direction that airplanes NEVER come from. I started recording and witnessed 6 objects, one by one, come up from the tree line, hover for a couple minutes, and follow the same path until out of my view. The objects were too bright for me to make out a shape, but as one of them was nearly out of view, I was able to see it from the side, and it was HUGE. I have the video, but the file is too large to upload here. Airplanes don't hover and do not come from that direction, and helicopters are NOT as large as the object I saw.
