Rome, NY
My girlfriend and I were driving back into town from Cook Road, where we were fishing. We noticed red glowing lights in Z formation in the sky sitting in place, not moving not falling, just stationary and made no sound. They seemed to be a burning kind of light, I use the word burning because they also one by one faded out. The size of the formation was significant. Very noticable to anyone who might look up. They were round balls of burning red light the way a star might look but bigger. I'm 5' 11", 240 lbs, 29 years old white long brown hair with a moustache and goatee. My day to day is working under the table taking care of my daughter, fishing, and playing poker. My girl freind is 25 55 130 lbs medium length brown hair also white. She takes care of her son, works at the hospital, and plays poker and fishes with us, as well.

Three of us saw a light that looked like a flame. It moved immediately over our heads and disappeared, turning to a white light as it moved away. No sound at all.

Utica, NY
The craft was circle in shape and bright red glowing ball when it was flying around for the first ten min it was red with a touch of neon green at the tip it was a perfect circle no beacon lights and no noise or sound what so ever at first I thought was helicopter because it was sitting still in the sky for sec to minutes before flying off in all directions it flew across the sky in seconds for the miles it flew but always retuned to were it started then when hovering straight back down it changed size to smaller and sold green the red color went away it also flew half way to our direction before zipping back to its original starting point after the 15 min it hid itself behind a 180 ft tree top and by then we were tired of waiting for it to fly off once again the craziest thing that this Ufo done was its turns it was flying so fast stopping at a dead hault then change its position and pattern erratically I was in the military and was in an airborne chopper unit in the 101st airborne and no man made aircraft can maneuver the way this ball of light did.

It made no sound and it freaked them both out. They said that it looked like there were 4 lights on each side of the triangle. They didn't have time to take any photos as it was only a few seconds that they had a visual on it before it disappeared over the treeline. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Delmar, NY
Multiple white orbs of light seen traveling silently across the sky while watching the Perseid meteor shower over an hour period. All but one moved quickly across the sky at airplane speeds (W-E). Two crossed paths (N-S and W-E), nearly colliding into each other. The last orb displayed erratic behavior. It traveled slowly (N-S), stopping occasionally. When it stopped, it appeared to turn or wobble for a few seconds. None of them flew in a straight line. They had a bit of a zigzag flight path, as if the operator were unsteady "behind the wheel". There were also planes in the sky, so there was a clear distinction between the white orbs and the planes, which emitted an alternating red and white blinking light and traveled in a straight line.

I went to my car to get a box and I decided to look up into the sky because the Perseid meteor shower was going on. To my surprise in the horizon I saw a craft with two blinking lights white to green flashing. It was lower than a normal jet airplane would be and the rate of travel was quite fast. The color was clear and blended in with the night sky I could literally see through the craft the outline of the craft was shaped like a piece of toast. It's the best way that I can describe it. No sounds it just came over the horizon, flew above me, and went over top of the tree and house next door to me in less than a minute.

Brantingham, NY
Summary: At 9:30 PM Eastern, 8/12/2015, several adults & children observed rectangular shaped objects glowing orange in color moving along a straight flight path from N/NW to S/SE direction. Location was eastern shore of Brantingham Lake, town of Greig, Lewis county, New York State, approximate Latitude of 43.7 & Longitude of 75.28. Similar objects were observed the following 2 nights at approximately the same time along the same flight path. Each night was calm, no precipitation, temperature in the 60s. Several IPhone photos and videos were taken. Details: At approximately 9:18 PM Eastern on 8/12/2015, we observed first object overhead, directly above, traveling at constant rate of speed. Was observed for approximately one minute until out of view out of view to the S/SE. See photograph 1 at 9:18 PM taken from an I Phone 6. 5 minutes latter a second object, same size & color moving along the same flight path and at the same speed was observed in the N/NW sky that went overhead and then out of sight a minute later to the S/SE. See Photograph 2 at 9:23 PM from an IPhone 6. Also a number of videos were made of the first 2 objects . Then approx. 4 minutes later a third object was observed identical to the first two but smaller in size. No sounds were made. There were no other observable aircraft or objects in the sky. Observed by 5 adults and several children. At approximately 9:17 PM Eastern on 8/13/2015, the first object was observed in the S/SE sky traveling in the OPPOSITE direction but along the approximately SAME flight path as the objects observed on 8/12/2015. See Video at 9:17 PM 8/13/2015. See Photographs at 9:18. A second object was observed at 9:24 PM. See photographs at 9:24 and video at 9:25 PM. This second object was larger than any of the previously observed objects but all other facets are the same (color,speed, shape). See Photographs at 9:25. A third object (the same size as the first object that night and all the same characteristics as the first object) was observed at 9:37 PM. At approximately 9 PM, the first of 3 objects was observed moving along a flight path somewhat close to the previous 2 nights but in the SAME direction as the first night (8/12/2015) N/NW to S/SE. See video from 8/14/2015. A photograph with a traditional shutter camera was taken of the 2nd object observed. The shape appears to be a glowing rectangle however the detailed zoomed photo shows differently: an orange ‘line’ in the shape of a backwards S. Again, no sounds observed. There were no objects observed on 8/15/2015. We left the camp Sunday 8/216/2015. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Was driving into work on Route 5, between Palatine Bridge, NY, and Fonda. I saw 20 small hovering lights that made a complete circle about 5 feet off ground. The lights were white and blue perfect circles, near the Iroquois Indian Reservation.

Old Bethpage (Long Island), NY
August 8th, 2015, around 11:25 pm, in Old Bethpage, Long Island, I saw what appeared to be an orange fireball or jet aircraft on fire. The fireball flickered like flames, but had no smoke or smoke trail. I really thought it was an aircraft on fire, and was waiting to see if it plummeted to the ground, even though there were no strobe lights or navigational lights. The fireball flew about the speed of a jet around 10000 feet high from the east to the west over several minutes in a clear evening sky, until it finally disappeared in the west behind a cloud.

On August 08th 2015 at 22:26:18 I was at a wedding and had remembered there was a meteor shower that evening. So I got a chair and sat in the field to watch. A few minutes in I saw a very strange object zip across the sky 3 times back and forth. On the third time it stopped in my view of sight, and then split into 3 objects! The color of the objects was amber, orange. Then the objects continued to move slowly over my area making a triangular pattern and changing there configuration. This happened for a few minutes then they moved out of sight. First I pulled out my camera and captured a Time lapse video/image of the objects as they changed position. Then I proceeded to taking some still images of the objects. In the still images they appear to be white but in the Time Lapse they are orange; not sure why. This was one of the more interesting sightings I have had but not the only one. I have included the images and video with a Google maps (sat image) to give you perspective on were the objects were relative to me on the ground, and my surroundings. Interestingly enough though, to note that there is a large nuclear facility not far from were this sighting happened know as the “West Valley Nuclear Services”.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
Around 10pm I saw a procession of slow-moving gold/orange lights (round), moving slowly across the sky toward the direction of my home and then flying over. At first there were two or three, but they were followed by more and more and more, in a seemingly never-ending stream that lasted quite a while (maybe 10 minutes or more?). They were coming from the south or southwest and moving northward. There were no other lights, no blinking or flickering (like on a plane or helicopter) and I didn’t hear any sound. They were low-flying and moved together slowly. Some were fairly close together, others spaced further apart. At one point, they hovered in place before slowly moving onward again. We see and hear planes flying over, on their way to the airport, all day long, on a daily basis, here. At times, we have helicopters circling overhead. This was most definitely neither. It was also not the Perseids. Never saw anything even remotely like this before.

Sayville/Blue Point (general area), NY
Saw two red lights moving from east to west at the same height as an airplane which was close to the moving lights and ahead of lights. The red lights were unusual because they were very close to each other but not in sync enough to be same aircraft. The airplane changed direction toward northwest- a normal path. The lied lights disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We also went by St. Mary's Church and took a picture of the field behind it. There is an orb in the sky in that picture too. These objects made no noise, and we did not notice them. We saw them while reviewing the pictures from my camera.

Old Field, NY
It headed north, then turned west and went towards the otherside of the bay towards Northport. The objects were launched about 10 minutes apart. We guessed at what it night be-Chinese lanterns, drones,?? but the flight of them seemed to be somewhat controlled. The light was orange, almost looking like fire.

I saw 5 red lights flying in a v-formation with two additional lights following behind. They were flying west to east. The lights were bright red. There was a single light on each. The lights were not blinking; they were steady bright red. There was no sound that I could hear. I only saw them as they flew over. I am a Certified Financial Planner and I was working in my office, on my computer when I saw them. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Minnesota.

Hicksville, NY
On Saturday, Aug 1, 2015, @ approx. 11PM, I was closing up my sun room, to get ready to retire for night. I happened to look up through the large glass windows, from a now darkened room, and saw what appeared to be this invasion of bright colored orange/yellow lights in formation, slowly moving across the sky, in a left to right movement. I immediately awoke my son to come and look. I asked him what he thought this was as it did appear frightening to me. I had never seen anything like this before except in the movies. He also said it looked very odd and suspicious. These lights appeared to drift entirely out of sight in about 7 to 10 minutes in complete harmony. They did appear to be triangular shaped, with almost a small tail at the end of each, and all being the exact shape and size.

Lagrange, NY
At first only one light appeared, followed by a second object a few seconds later, and then a third. When the 1st object was out of range another one appeared in the same place as the first object. The object appeared from below the horizon. This went on for roughly 5 mins until the last 3 orbs were no longer visible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Auburn, NY
I first observed an orange flaming light rising in the western sky. The object was in the shape of a ball of flame. It continued in a easterly direction and continued to accelerate in a straight path. At times the clouds would obscure the light. There was no sound or navigation lights. The flame eventually faded but a dark object could still be seen flying to the horizon in Eastern sky. Still no navigation lights could be seen. I am a police officer and would not have posted this sighting unless I thought to be unusual and difficult to explain. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Long Beach, NY
((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I was waking from my house to Ralph's ices about 1/3 mile from my house with my 3 cousins on beech street when we stopped to look at 2 fixated lights hovering over the ocean. They were horizontal and triangular, and appeared to me to be at least 1/8 over the oceanfront part of the beech given my proximity. They never moved. . 40 seconds from the time I decided to film it. I snapped one shot across the street, and one second before I confirmed what my first thought was. I was perhaps 2 blocks from the ocean on beech st on and fumbled for video mode. I was able to get the .40 second shot before I saw a direct plane or such pale out or muffle my video. The occurance of moment left us perplexed discussing coincidence and chance ... After the fact. One of my troupe who is witness is an actuary and is perhaps the best possible person I would have as witness testify On behalf my/our claim. ((END ADDENDUM))

It was a hot day, around 20:00 we had power outage on entire street + two other streets. Maybe because power-overload that everyone was using conditioners or (maybe it somehow connected with our friends-aliens). We went outside and I looked in the sky and I saw a Triangle shape, with bright lights was moving slowly but then it stopped.
