Holbrook, NY
It moved faster then anything I have ever seen. It created a dull light that wavered in intensity, possibly a vapor trail. It possibly was a comet - but it looked like no other comet I have ever seen. After about 5 seconds moving on a straight path, it vanished.

Corinth, NY
I was watching UFO footage vide in library on you tube and went outside to smoke a cigarette and looked at the river all the way north there they were two craft shaped kind of like these two v's VV but the bottoms were flat they were grey colored craft and performed a maneuver by shifting in formation to right suddenly to left they intended to mean to me Hancock field USAF base in Syracuse boys from Syracuse.

Colonie, NY
Around 3:30 pm, I looked up in the sky and saw a black cross-like object. At first I thought it was a bird, but it was way too high, the wings did not move and it was way too fast. Then I thought it may be a small plane (I live near the Albany County airport), but it was moving from side to side too quickly. It darted off to the west and I lost sight. Thought it may be a drone, it was high enough to require FAA license, but moved laterally too quickly for a fixed wing aircraft (at least in my estimation). Maybe some kind of military aircraft.

I went to take a rest from the flea market, and was shaded by a large bush. I laid flat on the grass and had amber driving glasses on, in addition to my myopia lenses. I was looking straight up to the zenith, watching airplanes from LGA airport, etc.. The sun was almost but not quite overhead, and shaded by a leafy branch, so I was able to gaze into the blue without the sun against me. The clouds were minimal and there was a slight haze and I had a little coffee to drink and was relaxing. Slowly, but suddenly, like a ghost appearing, there was a distant craft proceeding westward and slightly northward at an angle, slowly creeping. It had a distinct boxy appearance almost like it had "solar panels" on both sides, and there was a faint blinking sidelight hard to make out because of the bright conditions. It was at the limits of my visual acuity to make out any detail, but it was optical in nature as I was able to play with the image using my fingers in a triangle pinhole lens and saw it refract. Soon after this, to my right (north), a group of approximately 5 (or more) of the same "craft" appeared in a rough and slowly jiggling polygon along with an extra slightly off to one side ("apple"). This cluster slowly appeared out of nothing, and they too had faint blinking lights. There was no entry direction, and were ghostly in appearing. It stayed like this for about 2 minutes and then as if on cue, all of them slowly faded back into nothingness without any abrupt motions. The lone craft from the beginning was proceeding in its same linear direction and still visible, and then that, too, slowly disappeared in a ghostly fashion. At the end of this, I checked the sky without the amber lenses and saw that the area where there was the cluster of the craft was blue without clouds and only some haze as it was a hot day. The lone craft was in an area of very thin cloud. They did not act like drones and there were too many of them, and they just appeared and disappeared. They did not get bigger or smaller; there was no noise and they all looked the same. I had thoughts of some kind of refraction from a remote area, but the behavior and the coincidences of this happening don't seem to fit as being manmade, which is why I make this report to you.

Brushton, NY
I went outside to feed the dogs and heard a low humming above and in front of me. I looked up to see a disc-shaped craft coming towards me fast, it stopped a few hundred feet above and behind the power lines, hovered a second, then took off faster then I've ever seen anything fly. Up close...if you blinked you missed it. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be both sincere, and serious-minded. We have posted his photo to our website, although we have no idea what the object in the photo is. We allow for the possibility that the anomalous object could be a bird, with its wings swept far forward. The lack of symmetry suggests to us that the object may not be an alien spacecraft. PD

White object flying about 2 miles high. White bright light. As it was moving west, it climbed up, and the light disappeared. It start it at 10:48 pm, and lasted it for 4 min..

Huntington, NY
It was moving not like a plane or a helicopter. It was moving in different directions first low until it continued to make its way up slowly into the clouds really far but the light was still visible. I took a video when I was able to stop my car, but the craft was too far and my phone camera quality is not good.

Little Neck, NY
Sunday morning, June 4th, at appx. 8:30 AM, I was out for a walk to pick up some breakfast, and I happened to see out the left corner of my eye, a shiny type of objet which appeared to be reflecting the suns light looking eastward (towards NYC) and at first I didn't think much of it, until after I noticed another plane traveling the opposite direction. When I saw the other plane pass, the object appeared to be moving closer in my direction, & it seemed to me at second glance it may be one of those planes carrying an advertising banner - heading out to Jones beach, because I saw what appeared to be something wavy behind the object. As I stared at it a bit more, because it seemed unusual to me, I realized the object seemed to almost pause in its flight, and that's when I realize there were in fact two objects, and one appeared to be doing what I can only describe as a kabuki dance around the other object, and that's when I started seeming some orange color which appeared to be emanating from the bottom of these objects. At this point I took my cell phone out of my pocket & tried to capture some photo's and movies. I had to move to an area where the sun wouldn't quite be in my eyes because the object was west, but the sun was glaring off my back (as it was still early in the morning) and it was hard to zoom in and focus on the objects, but I did manage to capture some videos and a few stills of the objects. Upon reviewing the pictures I took, I realized how not so great cell phone cameras (at least my Samsung Note 5) seems to be a focusing on somewhat distant objects with an 8X zoom, but I do have some videos and still frames I'm happy to send along, or will attach to this report if provided. I looked at the objects slowly move across the sky from north to south slowly, seemingly doing this circle around one another routine, until at one point right before they vanished, they seemed to either merge, or one of them just vanished, and after about 8 or 9 minutes, all of a sudden, they were gone. I did not see the objects suddenly take off, it's as if they just vanished! Very strange sighting, especially since this was early on a Sunday morning, on a sunny morning.

Slingerlands, NY
I was driving and noticed an object hovering in the sky. It was black, triangular, and appeared to have a white or yellow light on either side of it. The lights were static and not flashing. The object did not move except for periodic lateral sways that were not that dramatic. I pulled into a parking lot to stop and get a better look. With my eyes on it the entire time, I parked, and when I emerged from the car, it was just gone. No sign of it at all in any direction. At the time I was viewing the object, there were 2 helicopters near by but flying low that appeared to be approaching the object from opposite directions. After I had emerged from the car and realized the object was gone, I also realized one of the helicopters had vanished as well and the other one had turned back toward Albany. It was strange.

Buffalo, NY
I went outside and looked up at the sky. All of a sudden an extremely large bright elongated teardrop shape fluorescent to dark jade green light flew across the sky horizontally. It was moving so fast, it was a matter of seconds and I couldn't see it anymore as it made its way from the western sky to the eastern sky. It seemed like it was flying low. It was far below the stars or the path of a plane. There was a very bright white flash of light behind it. There wasn't any noise. No other visible objects or colors were seen.

Marine park Bklyn, NY
Saw one large light source and one smaller behind clouds over the North East direction when standing in am open area in marine park in Bklyn. It was almost as if the moon was red and behind clouds blinking red and white in a slow steady rate, then it would blink rapidly, then just a steady red or white light. This went on for about an hour and every min that passed, it looked as if a craft was seconds from coming thru the clouds. But unfortunately it never did. (I need to add that the moon tonight was crescent and was opposite sides of the sky, this was no moon light. There was also a similar light source that was MUCH bigger just to the north of the first one. It was a steady white light behind the clouds, no red, but would get very bright and then just dull out to dim, but was always on the entire time as the first one. I'll never know what made these lights tonight but I'm ((name deleted)), hoping there are others that saw this. Hoping. I need to also add that witness! #3 had her Lab dog with her, who couldn't help but stare herself at these lights, so even a dog knew that this wasn't normal.

Clarence, NY
I went inside and grabbed my binoculars and came out to see more. There it was still looking like a star but far to twinkly and moving. I moved my position to the back yard (where it was darker)and proceeded to watch for any change. I see it appear to be dancing and changing shape into an ancient harp or a circular shape, then dancing again..... I don't know, the sky is very clear tonight with a crescent moon.... Go out and look.

8 lights appeared in the sky one at a time starting at ~8:50 ET and disappeared one by one starting at ~9:00 ET leaving contrails in a descending and uniform pattern. We have amended the time, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Possible hoax?? PD

Hi I thought for some time what I saw was - something rare but natural It looked very very ODD even more disturbing no one else seem to notice Perfect Circular Cloud Ring with very bright light shining down from above I was scared a little and pissed because I had just taken my camcorder out of my Van to charge it before I left for the city - I wanted to turn around drive 100mph get my sony trv240 camcorder and go back and record it.. I have been a star gazer my whole life I love looking up I have seen some amazing cloud formations I always thought was natural But as I look back In light of the new videos leaked to the public etc.... One thing stands out each time a sighting it seems to be involving clouds are they creating them to hide them self's I saw this on yahoo news https://www.yahoo.com/news/leaked-navy-video-appears-show-211241985.html That photo - circle with light That is pretty much exactly what I saw I was scared because no one seemed to notice it but me I pointed it out to a few drivers who seemed to not notice or care Over the past few years since I saw it and a few other weird things happening I shrugged off as natural / mother nature I began noticing people around me some staring at me with an angry a piercing stare -- some pointing their finger at me I have long suspected they are walking among us I have suspected missing people years ago were gathered up to study - breed etc.. so they can walk among us un- detected amazing unique people with extra ordinary skills gifts talent size strength etc... people who have led us into the computer chip world products etc.... What if all this is right..?? Star Trak - the one where they had a hidden / cloaked building in the mountain studying the people and Data when to expose them / save the people etc...something like that as our technology - more traveling - cameras etc.. more and more we are seeing things we could not see The writings / pictures on the walls Egypt etc... given everything In a court of Law where evidence to be preponderance it frees a man or convicts a man so must it be proof that it's real than NOT.. I still see people staring at me some quickly turning to me for no reason and just watching me as if to suggest (( we are watching you )) keep silent

Going from North East to South West toward Chester/Warwick. Low flying, no sound, constant orange light, maybe a few hundred feet apart behind each other. No other flashing light.

The object is a white, circular object hovering slightly above the horizon. It stands stationary and occurs throughout the year on random days. However, it often stands motionless for several hours in the early morning (6:00 am--8:30 am), then disappears once the sun has risen.

Hudson, NY
At approximately 2:30am on Monday, May 15th, 2017, I went out into the backyard to take out the garbage. It was a clear night, so I sat down on the porch and leaned back to do some star gazing. A few minutes in, I noticed that some of the stars were moving, in tandem. I focused in on that area, and there were 5 “stars” in a V-formation. I realized that it was a fairly large triangle-shaped craft of some sort, because I could see the dark shape blocking actual stars from view, as it passed overhead. It appeared to be quite low in the sky, was quiet, and moved slowly. A shimmering light passed all over the bottom of the craft several times, independent of the five V-formation lights. I watched it cross the sky until I couldn’t make it out any longer. I’m not far from Stewart International Airport (public/military), and suppose it might have been a military plane. Of note, the street lamp on the corner went out while the craft passed over, then started glowing slightly until it reached the normal light, seemed to get brighter than usual and orange-tinted, and abruptly went out again. The lamp remained dark afterwards. The bulb probably burned out and the timing coincidental; but it was odd, so I thought that I’d mention it, in the case that anyone else had witnessed a similar coincidence.

While outside my daughter asked what five glowing orange objects were in the sky. They were in arched pattern for approximately 5 minutes moving very slowly to the northeast and upward. As I sent my daughter in to get my phone to record them, the top three seemed to just disappear. I was able to record (although not as impressive as viewing live) the remaining two. They continued northeast and upward for another minute or two, and disappeared themselves.

Higginsville, NY
One white circular aerial object was witnessed trailing an airplane. The sky was blue and the white object was easy to see against the background of the blue sky. The white object was traveling behind the airplane, seemingly at the same speed. The witness provides high-quality video and stills of the object, but it is barely visible. It is little more than a tiny, light-colored speck. We do not know what it was. PD

I saw a light reflection on my windshield, thought it was from dash, but driving on for a minute, realized that it could not be. I decided to look up and nothing, then decided to lean forward and look up and saw a ufo above my car with red, blue, green and white lights (bright in nature). After looking up at it, it moved to my left above tree line, parallel to me at same speed as I was going. At that time I opened my window and there was no noise from craft. The road curved, it followed a straight line and I lost sight of it.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
A very large size, gray color, square shape object hover without any noise over Brooklyn. I personally don't know what it could be. I had a good 10 minutes sharp view of the object. At a very clear sky. I was trying to be rational but find no answer. Unfortunately the video footage doesn't give back the ratio of the object. Much larger than a Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter. I have photos captured also and after zooming in I saw the object hade colors and lights. Date 03-05-17 Brooklyn/NYC 8 am
