Dix Hills, NY

Object appeared round or spherical. Color was a bright orande with slight flickering but not strobes. Flying NNE to SSW at what seemed to be a high altitude. Total of 10-12 objects spread out over the sky (due to trees vision to the north is approx. 15 degree elevation while southern is approx 30 degrees elevation). Time from Firestone I saw to the last one was about 20 seconds. Watching them they were faster than commercial aircraft. Traveled in a haphazard formation N to S. The sky had some high altitude clouds but otherwise it is a clear sky. What caught my eye was the bright orange color with a brighter center, could not detect any sound. The more I think about the altitude, it was high but not so high that it seemed far away--hard to describe not knowing their size. I took 3 photos but an iPhone6 camera is not what I confided a camera. Photos came out as the typical UFO picture, a spot in the sky. You want a description of the observer. 61 years old, retired manufacturing engineer. Not much to me. Thank you for your time!

Mount Sinai, NY

Woke up to use the bathroom. I look out my back window and through the trees I see a bright ball of pulsating light. I just stared at it because at first I thought it was the moon or a bright star. But it seemed different because of how much it was pulsating or going from dim to bright. It also seemed to be slowing moving around in sort of a small circle. It would appear stationary if you just glance at it but when I looked closely it was making small movements. Then in an instant, it took off to the right from nearly stationary to just gone! I've never seen anything like it in my life! Was a pale yellow light that dimmed and brightened.

New York, NY

I am 57 years old and a paralegal for an investment advisor firm in New York City. I live in a studio apt on the top floor of a 4th Floor walk-up in the Kip’s Bay area on the East Side of Manhattan. There is a balcony in the back of the apt that has a view facing the skyline looking out over the East River towards Queens and Brooklyn. I often go out to the balcony on warm clear nights to look at the stars and get some fresh air. I went out 2 nights ago, on June 21st, around midnight, when I spotted a strange object hovering over the East River. It looked like a roundish, oval shape that was not illuminated except for the city lights shining up on it and the nearly full moon behind it. It looked to be about 1/5th the size of a normal full moon from where I was standing which was about 5 blocks from the East River. The altitude was higher than the Empire State Building which stands west of my vantage point. It looked to be at least as big as a house in my estimation. It was a clear night with just a few small puffy clouds still hanging in the sky near the object and I thought that maybe the object was just a small portion of a cloud but there was a breeze blowing North and the other clouds soon blew past the object and dissipated while the object remained in the same spot and hovered completely motionless. At this point I thought I might have something out of the ordinary here so I ran back into my apartment and got my binoculars. I steadied the binoculars against a balcony railing and managed to capture the object in my sights. It looked oval shaped and had sort of a greenish, grayish color. I could not discern any details such as windows or defining structure because it was difficult to keep in focus. I thought I may have seen a few tiny pinpoint size colored lights but cannot be certain. After a few moments it began to slowly move north towards upper Manhattan and I could see stars passing behind it as it moved. I could not hear any sound coming from it. After moving north for a few hundred yards it changed direction and started heading due East over Long Island City in Queens. I lost sight of it after a very tall tree in a neighboring yard blocked my view. I waited for a half an hour to see if it would return but it never did. The full sighting lasted about 8 mins.

Endicott, NY

Single round red object was seen hovering in the eastern sky at an estimated 4 miles away. Hovered and darted vertical up and down at high rate of speed unmatched by any known aircraft. Moved South in a horizontal path appearing to descend along horizon. Went behind a tree and did not reappear from the other side.

Canton, NY

Just before 10pm, 06/18/2016, in the southern sky of northern NY, I saw a moon almost full. To the lower left of the moon, I saw what appeared to be a blinking satellite. To the right of the moon, and slightly lower, I saw what appeared at first to be a bright planet, or a giant bright star, much bigger than surrounding stars. It began moving to the right faster than the satellite was traveling. The skies were very clear with minimal thin clouds. There was a tail to the left of the brightest light and it grew in size rapidly. It continued to move and grow without a tail visible then it began to reduce in size and stop. At 10:41, two bright flying objects came from the central bright light. One flew to the left and the other to the right. They were traveling fast. The one on the right increased in size quite quickly and appeared to have at least three separate lights in a triangular shape. Both flying objects continued until we could no longer see them. The main light stayed stationary until we stopped watching and fell asleep.

East Northport, NY

One very small, white, stationary, round object. Simalar to an iridium flare but not traveling in an orbital direction. It moves in a twisting and flipping motion that caused it to either reflect the sun or disappear. This lasted about seven minutes or less. I opened the Night Sky app on my iPad that I asked my wife to get from inside, to see if there could be something in that part of the sky at this time. I havent used this app much, so I don't know if it would show Iridium flares. I have never seen a stationary one before. There would be a star around that area but at this time it was too bright out to see any stars. (7:45 PM EST) This was slightly south and east but mostly straight up in the sky. I feel it was too high to be a drone. If it was a balloon it should have drifted in the light northerly. It dissapeared or I lost track of it after 7 minutes. Mostly sunny sky. I did see a plane fly by to the west, heading east, at a much lower altitude just before ! seeing the object.

A white circular object hovering in the sky above any planes.

West Babylon, NY

1) I was watching the Mets game. 2) I always see planes from JFK's flight pattern from my vantage point on the couch of my home....the lights caught my eye because they weren't from a plane....it was glowing redish orange and they were not blinking like those from a jet plane. As they came overhead they were completely silent. I observed 8 of them...it was when I saw the 4th one, I went inside and grabbed my cellphone to record the rest of them. 3) I knew they were not planes. I live by an airport, and like I said, JFK's flight pattern is over my house and I am intimately familiar with jets lights and how they blink. There's the wing lights and the headlights...these objects didn't blink. They glowed and pulsed and were reddish-orange. 4) They moved very slowly...much slower than a jet. Then again....I couldn't gauge how high they were because it was dark out, but they were under the clouds at the time. They seemed to go in a perfectly straight line and controlled manner. The two I have in one frame on video flew in a formation and never strayed from each other. 5) I really didn't have a reaction other than I knew these were not airplanes or helicopters or anything that is currently known to man. This is not my first UFO encounter either...I've seen silver orbs during the day before...I just never got them on cell phone. 6) I lost sight because they eventually went beyond camera and eyesight.

Take a look on Fox News story, "How evil is Hillary and Bill Clinton", with Bret Baier which has a date of June 12, 2016. When Mr. Baier is speaking and the outside view can be seen from a high story building that he is in, take a look on the upper right hand corner of the screen. You will be surprised at what you see. I was! Please let me know if this is a UFO. I surely think so.

Flanders, NY

I was walking my dog across the road from my house and I looked up at the stars. I have an app star and planet finder on my iPhone. I looked opposite from Mars toward the northern sky when I noticed a very bright light. This light was much brighter then I've ever seen in the night sky. It was moving in a South Eastern direction very slowly. I thought maybe it might be a helicopter at first but there was only a single bright light. I looked to see if there were any planes which I noticed one to the south and one to the North heading both toward the East keeping my eye on the object. The object kept the same heading SE when it faded slowly until it appeared to go straight up and out of sight. I thought it may have gone behind a cloud but the sky tonight was clear as a bell overhead. There were some cloud cover alone the horizon but not straight up where the light vanished. I believe this was something I can't explain. Thank you for reading this and I hope it ! helps some how.

Central Square, NY

Two separate occasions... red balls traveling northbound through center of sky. First one seemed to "burn out", after a bit and then turned black, as it was still going North. The second ball about 3 minutes later did not burn out... update... as I was writing this. A third went by and burned out right over us.

Looked like a star but it flew overhead very fast. No flashing lights it was very far away. We have corrected the date above. PD

Central Square, NY

It moved from straight overhead to beyond the trees, I ran beyond the trees and looked around in the sky, it was gone, no trace. I felt amazed/surprised at seeing this. I lost sight of it behind the trees and then I ran behind them and looked around in the sky it was gone. About 30 seconds or about 1 minute long, not longer. I saw it in the binoculars and it was bright as or brighter than Jupiter. We have corrected the time above. PD

Albany, NY

I was riding my bike from Cumberland Farms and I took a left along a trail, following the light. I knew it was different because there was a plane near the sighting. I followed the light until it curved and hid behind the clouds. As far as I am concerned, I witnessed several planes in the sky at the same time, but they were all blinking. I was told that it must be the international space station, but I don't think so. I have been looking for proof in the skies since I was an adolescence. Now I have found it at 29 years old. I even cried, asking, "Why won't you take me away?" as a joke. I know what I saw.

Sylvan Beach, NY

I was sitting on my front deck over looking out onto Oneida Lake Oneida Lake. I saw two orange oval shaped disks hovering together at the same speed (very slow) over the lake to the left side which is Syracuse. Then they just disappeared. A few minutes later another one appeared this time a little closer to where we we but still a distance away (Canastota, N.Y. ) These sites were very unusual. I live on the lake and have for 50 years and have never seen anything like these objects.

New York, NY

Hi, I'm Jason, we spoke on the phone earlier about my many sightings over NYC and I was encouraged to write about one specifically. I have been using meditative techniques I learned from Dr. Steven Greer's CE5 initiative and applied it to my own practice. I've been witnessing many orb like UFO sightings during these meditations and have been able to document lots of high strangeness. There are far too many experiences and incidents to paint the clearest picture of what is happening in just one report, which is why I felt confused about how to report such a long timeline of events. Despite all these antidotal words, I have documented what I could via my YouTube channel. It's very basic, no music, no graphics, and all short and to the point. It's hard to pick out the best video, but I am posting 2 links here, with the first video being the date and time linked to this report. As I said, my channel is quite simple and you're more than welcomed to see the rest of my videos at your leisure to help understand how frequent it is. Most sightings, including the one from this report are from my high rise apartment looking out toward midtown Manhattan. There's telepathy involved in this experience as well as other phenomena that I don't think is productive going into in a format like this. https://youtu.be/rRzSxESV608 https://youtu.be/cRDKX190ZdM

New York City (Brooklyn), NY

On 5th avenue and 16th street looking east by southeast there was two orange orbs moving at twice the speed of the usual aircraft in the sky heading north by northwest. The first one was almost at 23:00 on the hour, the second was a few minutes later at 23:05. There was also a high altitude jet moving north, a commercial jet moving west towards newark at a lower altitude and a jet coming in from the south moving towards JFK or Laguaria airport. The two orange spheres did not have lateral blinking lights, they did not make any sounds like helicopters and the color was almost pumpkin as opposed to the usual yellow/white aircraft color.

New York City, NY

We were visiting WTC groundzero with my wife. I was capturing continously without focusing a specific object. I captured many photos. In one minute I captured 3 photos consecutively. After holiday while I and my wife viewing photos we found an Unidentified object and it was flying above. We didn't detect it with naked eyes when we were visiting WTC. I don't belive that US Goverment lets an ordinary vechile to fly above WTC. Maybe this is an undetected vechile or it was a made in USA UFO. In photo 1 there are colorful circles. In Photo 2 that circles are replacing and an UFO appears suddenly. In photo 3 there is no light no UFO. I want professionals to analyze the images and I am so curious about results. I was not a believer but I was ready to believe. Now I want to believe!
