While getting something to drink I looked outside the top window of the kitchen and noticed a little blinking light in the sky. I didn't think much of it at first and thought it was an Airplane but after I finished drinking I noticed it hadn't moved at all and kept staring at it for 4 minutes until I realized what I'm seeing is not a plane. I ran to tell my mother to look at the sky. That there's a little blinking/flashing little light in the sky. And went back to the kitchen to keep looking at it. I called my sister to have a better view. Terrified and freaked out after noticed it's moving in a small triangular, circular form she went to bed and covered herself. I stared at it for almost an hour. Showing red, white, blue color flashes. I noticed it moving in a small formation and sometimes just staying still. I posted it on social media to see if anyone else is seeing it. I texted my brother. I messaged a friend that lived near by but no one was able to see it from there view of their building. Than a huge cloud formation came and covered it. Knowing it would take a while before the clouds moved again I went to take a quick shower and came back to see the clouds leave and it was gone... I didn't come back to try and see if it had comed back. I was in denial and felt I was going crazy... Thinking it was just a realistic dream... Unable to sleep until finally at 7 am... Unfortunately there was not a good enough camera in my home that could capture the image of it.

This UFO was seen in the trees hoovering, but then seemed to move very fast, and had a strobe to it, very bright. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Spencerport, NY
On 8/27/2016, at 9:25 PM, in Spencerport, NY, (a suburb of Rochester, NY), my husband, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, mother-in-law, and family friend, had finished dinner on the outdoor patio, and were enjoying after dinner conversations around the table, when my brother-in-law pointed to the sky and said, “Look!” To the Northeast, a flaming circle flew across the sky at an unusually high rate-of-speed. The object changed shapes from a circle to a cone and back to a circle and seemed to have something like a satellite flying around it. As it burned across the sky, it started to flicker and then appeared to burn out or vanish. This was followed by two more in almost perfect time. Once one burned out the next appeared back to the East. The third object appeared to travel on a z-axis to out of our atmosphere. Shortly, after all three “flaming” balls had disappeared, what we think had to be three military jets (they were blinking and way too fast to be commercial liners) appeared in the sky, crossing each other and then flew out of sight. We waited another 15-20 minutes, but no other “flaming” objects appeared. We were lucky enough to get video evidence of the second and third objects, but missed the first.

Whitehall, NY
At about 9:45PM last night (8/24/16), my family and I were driving home to Glens Falls, NY, on our way back from vacation in Maine. We were driving towards Whitehall, NY, at the time we saw it we were just outside Whitehall. I'd say 5 miles or less. So, I was just driving along, when at the above stated time out of my left side view looking out the windshield of my car I saw a streak of light. That at first glance looked like a shooting star. It didn't take me long to realize that that was not what I was looking at. There was something about the way it was moving that made me look again a little deeper. Now for context this whole thing lasted just seconds but, you know when you spot something. Out of the corner of your eye that actually inside you peripheral far enough were you get a good enough look at it. To the point that I'm driving forward focused on the road but can see the light moving in to my course of vision. that's what happened. So, I saw this light and it registers after just a second this is peculiar. So now is when I shift my view or focus out that side of the windshield to actually see this light that was acting funny.. so, this light moves into view, the first thing that didn't jive was the speed at which it was moving. Much too slow to be a shooting star. Then, I noticed the streak of light was thicker than it would be if it were a shooting star. Then, of course, i saw a shape in front of the streak. This is the hardest thing to describe I can't remember a shape per se as much as the color which was the same bright, white light as the streak but separate from it. (if I had to say a shape it would be oval or tear drop shaped) so now, the streak came in to view streaked for a few seconds as if slowing down cause then it paused (or stopped dead) for a moment. This is when I new we had just seen something extraordinary. The following thing that happened was a flash of light and it vanished. It shot off in some direction so fast I couldn't even see it. and that's when I turned ! to my wi fe and said what the hell was that!? Did you see that? She said she saw it and that it was strange but she is a skeptic by nature, so she just blew it off. And I can't stop thinking about it, please tell me someone else saw this too?

Cleveland (Oneida Lake), NY
The morning of the 24th we left dockside @ apx 6:10am in a rented 10 person pontoon boat (with the top folded down completely). After clearing the warning buoys in the bay we proceeded out and head due west at full speed. We were heading for the 2 large islands on the west end of the lake. The trip would take apx 35-40 minutes. The sun had not come up yet but as it did begin to rise we took a few pics (Iphone 5S) (while moving). I was driving the boat, but at a slow speed. I turned around to snap a few pics of the sun which was in full beautiful view, and ended up with an excellent picture of the sunrise. at this point we were well out on the lake with only the water around us and the sky above. A week later as I was reviewing my pictures and posting them to facebook, I noticed that I had captured something in the picture that we were not aware of during the fishing trip. The object is on the far left middle of the pic, and appears higher than us and above the water. The picture does not show the entire craft, only a portion of it...but you can see structure to it, and It has definite angles to the design, and you can see the rising sun shining on it / illuminating it. We heard nothing that morning except the wind, waves and the roar of the boats motor. We saw nothing other than the sunrise... I have zoomed in on the object and it is not a "normal" saucer shaped UFO, but it does have well defined surfaces that reflect light. The ufo appears to be following or passing us on the starboard side of the boat and behind us apx 100 yards?. There were 3 others in the boat with me, and subsequently i requested copies of their pics. In 1 of those other pictures taken apx 3 mins prior to my photo i found a picture of the sunrise that also includes the skies and the clouds behind us. Upon zooming in there appears to be an octagon shaped object in the clouds. I "theorize" it traveled from the clouds to a position behind us in a matter of 3 minutes. None of us recall experiencing missing time, marks on our bodies ect... It was quite a surprise to me, to see this thing. Also the pictures are high resolution images....and we caught no fish! If anyone @ NUFORC has questions, feel free to call.

Waterloo, NY
I had pulled out my Meade 8” lx200 telescope, so they could view it. They told me they had been watching it for some time, when it was NE. 4 adults and 4 children looked through the telescope and saw an oval almost circle with a dozen plus lights that gradually went from bright white to dim yellow as if on battery power, and draining down. There was a flashing dim light on the bottom of this object like a distant airplane. One of those looking through my scope said she could see a person in the middle wearing green. She took a picture through the scope with her cell phone.

New York City (Manhattan), NY
I didn't think much of it, but 2 minutes later, I saw the same golden streak of light zoom by towards what looked like downtown, going south of central park. I was absolutely shocked and almost panicked. A couple of minutes later mayber 3 to 5 minutes later, i saw the streak of light again moving incredibly fast towards the west side of Manhattan, maybe towards Jersey. That was the last time I saw the golden streak of light.

Saw a light from overhead, travelled north north east in a 120 degree arc, terminating above Rattlesnake Mountain. Fire was approximately the size of a dime, and was visible through heavy cloud cover.

New York City (Middle Village), NY
Noticed an object flying through the air from south to north in Middle Village NY at around 2030 hours on Friday, Aug 12, 2016. Object had no sound, and had two sets of two red lights and right behind those were two green blinking lights. Moved swiftly and quietly through sky. Not sure how high, but approximately 500 to 1000 feet maybe.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
My boyfriend and I were walking our dog, when I noticed two orange glowing lights in the distance, near the Verrazano Bridge, in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. I thought maybe it was just planes, or a space station or a star, but we realized it was moving. The objects were far too close together to be planes, and they moved too slowly for that. I live right by a flight path, so I've seen countless planes at night and this wasn't it. At one point, the lights blinked out and came back on again. As it flew over us, we didn't hear anything, which is unusual. I often hear planes flying over my house, but it was quiet. It wasn't in the shape of any plane I've ever seen--it was a V, like a flying triangle. Both objects slowly passed over us, and slowly flew on. I don't know what it was, but it was creepy.

There were, in two separate locations in the sky bright flashes of light. Mostly range. There are a few oval shaped volts of rnong. The bright flashes were every few seconds in the same place for about 25 to 30 minutes. The brightest, most orange, flashes were round.

Traveling in 2's and 3's northwest to southeast. Orange-red. Looked like fireballs from more distant angle, but, when closer, boat shape or cross from below or alongside. No sound, no trail, no beam.

As I was driving home north on 9-D, across from West Point, me and my friend noticed a very large bright light in the sky moving slowly. The object wandered overhead, very low, and looked almost like the shape of a rocket, hovering slowly through the night sky. We watched for as much as had time, but when we turned around further down the road to check it out, the craft had vanished.

It is a heavily wooded area. I still have the picture. I walked the area several times trying to figure out what it could have been. I can not explain where the lights came from.

Centereach, NY
At 10:35 PM eastern time in Centereach, NY, 11720, on the 2nd Day of August, 2016, I saw not one, but two, UFO's. I was in total denial about UFO's, and said I would never believe it until I see it. I first heard a helicopter flying through the sky, which drew my attention to the sky. It seemed to be a police chopper because it was flying kind of low with a spot light beaming towards the earth. I looked up and noticed a blue light. It was kind of far so couldn't see any structure or if there was more than one blue light. What made me think it was a UFO was when I suddenly saw a red light speeding towards the blue one. The blue one picked up the pace but it wasn't fast enough against the red lit ship which passed it. Then saw the blue one come behind the red one which again they both accelerated and then disappeared behind the trees. I could no longer see them anymore. I know for fact it wasn't planes because they don't act like that. They also don't chase each other, curve around and suddenly accelerate. I do now believe in UFO's.

As I was leaving my girlfriend's house I opened her screen door and saw strange orange looking triangular balls of fire. One was already toward the West. Another was right in our eye veiw, while the third caught up with the second, and then suddenly a fourth appeared, shot straight up and then proceeded from east to west. There was no noise whatsoever.
