One of the orbs veered off to the west, again disappearing in to outer space. The objects made no sound. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect she is highly reliable as a witness. PD

Before the moon was shadowed by earth, my camera (only) picked up this green orb, moving erratically. I have many more photos and two videos. I am reporting this because friends in CA captured this orb without knowing it, as did a friend in NY and CT, and it's very obvious it's not a camera flaw, since we all have different phones. I can't believe more people aren't discussing this - perhaps because it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

It was orange/red sphere. It was hovering right in my yards tree line ...it was moving very slow. I could almost reach it ...it was that close. I was a little creeped out. I have never saw anything like this before. And then it just disappeared.

Rochester, NY
I was standing in my yard and as I looked to the sky I saw an bright orange orbs hoovering and suddenly began zipping around the sky with ease and precision, I ran back into my house frantically trying to explain the situation to my brother, who took his time getting outside, but sure enough the orb was still out there. By time I thought to turn on my camera phone, I was only able to capture about ten seconds of footage before the Orb shot out of the atmosphere. As me and my brother starred at each other speechless, no more than ten seconds after the solo Orb took off, four of the exact same orbs slowly rose up from the tree line, in a semi V formation, and seconds after slowly rising all orbs simultaneously began again, effortlessly zipping through the night sky both side to side and up and down. As the multiple Orb feat was so astounding, when I attempted to capcapture more footage with my cellphone, I unfortunately forgot to press the record button,due to over excitement. Therefore, the initial single orb sighting is all I was able to capture.

A craft is flying over Brooklyn. I am in Brooklyn north looking south. The craft has a circular motioned attachment could be a camera rotating on a mechanical arm. The craft is moving slow North Easterly of its current position. I am in a high rise building with a scope. The craft is silver in color and the suns reflects off of it very brightly.

As I stared into the night from attic apartment. I noticed a color changing from green to red to white which at first was bigger than a dot than slowly became smaller as the object flew fast across. Than another identical object flew across jus like the first one. the two dots still color changing were far apart but aligned and slowly move closer. Finally another one came kept flashing a bright ambient color for about 2 mins.

New York City, NY
This UFO appeared over the skies of lower Manhattan after a focused sky gazing CE5 Meditation on September 17, 2015. The orb appeared out of no where and was brightly lit. This was the second one to appear in 2 days, but this time I was armed with a camera. After zooming in, it appears to have been morphing in what looked like a cross from a set of balloons and a cauliflower. It eventually vanished into thin air shortly after the video. Usually during visual meditations, I see UFO craft on an almost weekly basis and sometimes more in the NYC sky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwVVmqCx4sQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbNNmvPwM7A

Clifton Park, NY
I was standing out on my driveway at approx 9pm on Sept. 13 when I witnessed an orange light (almost looked like a fireball) moving slowly across the sky. I yelled to get my brother who also seen it. As he ran in to get my parents another orange light followed closely behind in the same direction. Both objects were slow moving and almost pulsing getting brighter then dimmer. I would compare them to a meteor but no tail and moving much to slow. We continued to watch for approx 2 min. until they just disappeared. I attempted to video, but my hands were shaking and i couldn't get my phone to record. There was an overcast so these objects were below the cloud cover so they weren't to far up. These were very bright and no sound we could here. By far the strangest thing I have ever seen.

My father was outside and noticed a bunch of very fast moving lights, flying in a large group, heading towards the Hudson River/Manhattan. By the time I got outside, it appeared to be over and then one by one they just kept coming in a continuous line. Some of them were in a triangle formation while others were flying by themselves all in the same direction. There had to be between 20 and 30 as this went on for about 10-15 minutes. I was able to take two videos before they stopped entirely. These were definitely not airplanes as they had no blinking lights at all. They were simply circular lights that gave off a glow bright enough to see that whatever they were had been completely surrounded by light.

Peru, NY
While driving south on Ny interstate I-87 at 11:45 pm, as I began entering an area of interstate under construction, I noticed a bright orange orb at roughly 50 deg. Inclination. My attention had to be totally on driving at this point and I could not stop of course! It traveled seemingly under its own control and I saw no trail, or tail. As the orb was headed due north, the passing was brief but astounding!

Clarence, NY
This report does not involve any flying craft. However I feel compelled to report what I saw and heard. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood and at 10:41 pm I was startled by a loud bang. This did not sound like thunder nor did it sound like any firecracker I have heard. This bang did not sound like a cannon blast nor a gunshot. As I rounded a corner I encountered a neighbor to whom I asked, "Did you hear that" The neighbor said he did and said the bang sounded "metallic" certainly not like thunder. I told the neighbor, "It came from the direction of the fire hall" which was behind me. In other words the bang came from behind me, which was North. The neighbor and I stood for about 60 seconds while we looked to the north. WE did not see or hear anything during that time. I told the neighbor "maybe if we hear it again we might know what it is." I said goodnight to him and continued walking. 60 seconds later I turned around and looked North. I was looking straight when I saw a blue-white flash high in the northern sky at about a 75 degree angle from the horizon and heard another bang. The flash looked similar to lightning, but did not spread across the sky like cloud to cloud lightning. The flash was bright but not blindingly so. The flash did not look like a fireball. This second bang sounded identical to the first bang and came after the flash. The second bang did not sound like thunder. I did not see anything shoot upwards from the ground prior to the flash nor did I see anything fall from the sky after the flash. The weather conditions were as follows: It was nighttime with drizzle and overcast skies.

Buffalo, NY
Today is a beautiful day, the sky is a bright blue color, and the clouds are all white. I was driving on the thruway next to Lake Erie and I noticed a small black cloud hovering maybe 200 feet above the thruway over the water. The cloud was easy to differentiate because it was so close to the ground. I slowed down and started watching it. I was wearing tan-colored lens sunglasses, and when I took them off, I could hardly notice the black cloud. When I put them back on, the cloud was very visible. I watched it for about 15-20 seconds, and right before my eyes, it disappeared! I have never seen anything like it before.

We heard an very loud buzzing sound above our backyard so we decided to go out and look there was a craft with 2 green lights and 2 orange lights that were buzzing. I start to snap pictures which i have and it was like the craft spotted us doing that and it took off at extremely high non human speeds. I will never forget this experience and definitly look forward to seeing these things again!

Red Hook, NY
Driving from Ossining, NY, to Amherst, MA, on Taconic State Pkwy North at night on Sunday. Myself and the other individual in the car first saw an incredibly strange brief flash in the sky--like a a bolt of lightening only orange like a flame and not extending from the sky/cloud to the ground but contained in the sky (I have nothing to compare it to because I've never seen anything like it). A bit later on, after passing Red hook, closer to I-90 East, I saw three groups of three white orbs, somewhat faint, floating in the sky (too clear and bright to be confused for stars). After about 3 minutes they just dimmed and faded out but not simultaneously, in succession. Witness elects to remain anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Valley Stream, NY
While coming outside to get something from my car I looked up at local plane traffic that was heading for JFK. I happen to scan across the sky and saw a flash of something at very high altitude, possible orbital (resembling the look of a passing satellite catching sun). After realizing for a moment that it is still very light I eliminated stars from the possibilities and started to think of a mylar balloon in the sun. The object lit up again, looking like a star, it would intermittently pulse like this for the next 20 minutes and made a slow counter clockwise path periodically very brilliant (reiterating like looking at a star), and then no light at all. On many occasions it was completely stationary, I eliminated the balloon theory. I attempted to video this over 3 clips on my Samsung S5, without zooming. So far I cannot see anything on the vids. In my opinion this was extremely high altitude possibly low orbital altitude. If anyone would like to analyze the video let me know.

Bayville, NY
On Sunday, September 6th from 12:50pm to approximately 1:30pm in Bayville, NY. The sky was clear blue and no clouds. my girlfriend and i observed a small but incredible bright flashing object. The best description would be akin to seeing a very bright planet shining in a clear night sky but this was occurring during the early afternoon. The sun was very high in the sky at this time. The object was to the North at about the 11'oclock position. The object never moved. It was stationary. The flashes would flash very bright for approx 3 seconds and then lessen to planetary brightness for approximately 3 seconds. This would repeat and there would be a similar period of intermittent brightness. This was a recurrent cycle that did not deviate. The intensity of the flashes were reminiscent of a mirror reflecting pure sunlight. It was such a fine point of bright light that the passenger jets in the area completely dwarfed it. I thought maybe it was a mylar balloon, satellite or an actual planet but it did not move or decrease in intensity for the 35-40 minutes i observed it. I did not watch it go away because I was watching for a long time and my girlfriend wanted us to enjoy our kayaking together. Note: Polarized sunglasses helped see object better.

Chazy Lake, NY
At approximately 12:02 am, Sunday, September 6, 2015, I was driving west on New York State Route 374 between Dannemora and Lyon Mountain. In the hamlet of Chazy Lake, I noticed a bright orange-reddish (more orange than red) light in the sky over the lake. It caught my eye because I’ve never seen anything that color in the sky before. It was hard to tell its altitude – I believe it was lower in altitude than a plane would normally fly. The brightness of the light was around the magnitude of the planet Venus. It was the brightest light/object in the sky. The night sky was crystal clear and there was no wind. I pulled off the side of the road where there were no street lights and exited my vehicle to get a better look at the light. I was facing south looking at the light over the lake. There was plane flying below it traveling east and another plane farther to the west of the light flying south. Once the planes were out of view, I listened and could hear no sound coming from the light. I watched it for a few minutes to see if it was actually moving. It was moving – very slowly – to the east. I could tell it was moving because I compared its position to the trees below it. I then got back in my vehicle and drove home.
