I was going out to the front of my house at 9:45 pm when I noticed two orbed red lights with white halos in the sky moving I called. My girl friend to come look cause she don't believe in ufos so she came out to the front of the house she did see them. they then went behind my neighbors trees. i could still see them through the trees, then they disappeared.so I continued to watch the sky then another one showed above the street light same size same color that moved just for a little bit then hovered over street light. then disappeared. its awful funny how these orbs where over a electrical substation and now there are trucks at the substation 4 trucks as a matter of fact this is very suspicios to me.

The object was a deeper red in the middle and an orange on the outer circle. It flashed for a moment expanding its size then proceeding to slowly head Northwest at a moderate pace then changing course upwards, hanging for another moment and then just disappearing. I have a few seconds of video of the event before it vanished. One thing to note there has been a noticeable increase in military activity in the area the last 12 hours, including fighter interceptors and Boeing P-8 recon aircraft, seen earlier in the day.

Springville, NY
UFO Report Location: Springville NY 14141 Date: May 26, 2015 Time: 7:11PM Event Description: At 7:11PM, on May 26th, 2015, I was on my back porch and notice a high flying jet leaving a contrail. The jet was approximately 10 degrees south west of my position and quite high. The sun was bright and as I looked at the jet, I noticed a bright stationary object that appeared to be above the jet. It was unusual. I took out my iPhone and utilized the Siri function to inquire what commercial flights were overhead. The only flight that registered was a commercial flight at 40,000 feet. I tried to photograph the object but it was too small for capture. I also tried to recall the flight data for documentation, but there was no recall capability. I watched the object for 4-5 minutes and ran into my home to get a better camera. When I came back out, the object was gone. Object description: Object was too high to clearly describe with great clarity. It however had an appearance of even length and width. Based on the way the sunlight reflected off it, it presented itself as round, and spherical.

Lake George, NY
I was in Lake George, NY, for bike week and on June 5th. Approximately 2130, my two friends and I were sitting in a park waiting for the fireworks to begin. I looked to the north and saw a redish/orange light all of a sudden that wasn’t there a few minutes ago. I watched the light as it moved very slowly across the sky. Then all of a sudden the movements became very rapid and started moving up and down and all around ….then it just stopped. I asked my two friends next to me if they see it and they had also noticed it. We watched for a few more minutes and then is slowly sank behind the trees in the horizon. About 10-15 to fifteen minutes later it reappeared to the south of us….many many miles from where it was originally seen. It seemed to hover and then move slowly and then it sped up and stopped. It stayed there until the fireworks began and then seemed to mover directly over-head of them. It stayed there and seemed to “watch” what was going on until the fireworks ending and just disappeared by seemingly moving higher up in the sky until it just disappeared It never came back.

I woke my husband up and he did see it through binoculars. It was a full moon and this object was south west of the moon. I tried to take a picture with my phone camera and my sony camera but neither one worked. Just weird...no sound either. We suspect that the object may have been a "twinkling" star. PD

Bouckville, NY
3 very bright brassy orange colored lights in loose formation seen at approx 1500 foot altitude moving SE to NW across wind. Silent with obvious aircraft in higher background traveling away from lights. Lights were slightly larger than Jupiter in sky and very bright - traveled smoothly and slowly until "dimming out" and disappearing when almost overhead. Considered that may have been luminaria or fire kites, but brightness and simultaneous disappearance is problematic. Sky was dark and very clear with bright stars and high-altitude aircraft visible at the same time as lights.

I've never seen anything this weird. It was worm-like shaped, very bright white light, rays above and below. One end looked solid, but the rest looked like pure light. It didn't change position, but dipped near (my) the left, and then further down the object, as like waves. I'm sending the photo, so please look for that. I would like to hear from someone with an opinion as to what this could possibly be. Source of report indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Large black saucer shaped object moving very slow from north to slow, flying extremely slow. Silent and flying very low. Smooth could see no distinctive features. White streaks were seen in a straight line coming out the side of the craft. The craft followed the direction of the streaks. Was traveling from west to east and about the time it was to the treeline from my view it turned south. It almost appeared to be a very large balloon by the way it was traveling. Smaller than a blimp but much larger than a hot air balloon. Realized it wasn't a balloon when it emitted what looked like a white streak from its side and moved in the direction of the streaks projection. If it was a type of thruster it should have went the opposite direction of the streak but it precisely turned and followed the direction of the streak almost instantly. We have never seen anything like in our lives and I am very skeptical of the ufo topic. I have no Idea what this craft could have ! been and I'm still in amazement as to what we saw. Hoping others have seen it and maybe took video. Would love to see this on the local news and get some kind of explanation as to what it was or if its truly something unknown.

We went outside on a decently clear night. There may have been a light overcast, but we saw three red and orange spheres moving quickly through the sky. Comparing them to the average speed of a plane, they were moving at least five times as quick. They then went behind the tree line, and when they emerged again, they seemed to become one larger red and orange sphere. The spheres moved north very quickly. After that, and within 10 to 15 seconds, they were no longer in range of sight. Note that the average plane in the same area would be in range to be seen for at least 15 minutes for a passenger jumbo jet, and 3 to 4 minutes for f-16's that fly overhead every once and a while.

I was at a local carnival, and this oval shaoed craft kept flying by over us. It would stop, start, dart, circle, stay in one place, etc. I finally took out my phone and shot a short video if it before it shot off rapidly. It had red lights on one end and green on the other. It had NO wings. It was a clear evening with no clouds. It made no sound or contrails.

Middletown (west of), NY
I noticed a very large bright star, west of Middletown, CT. My husband and I then looked through binoculars and saw red (I saw some blue lights too, he didn't ) lights that looked like sparks under it. Then at approximately 10:00 pm it changed completely to a sphere shape with circles. Light was illuminating through some circles in a cross pattern with the brightest light in the center. Possible sighting of Venus?? PD

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We strongly suspect that he has reported the incident quite accurately. PD

As it approached directly over head I noticed another object approaching from a slight southeast direction, and they appeared to pass one another, the second object to the southern side of the passenger plane, from my perspective they looked to be equal in size, only this new object was a little blurry or hazy, as if it was actually much higher and the haze was a result of the gases in the higher atmosphere which means this t! hing was either much larger than the plane or, if it was gases, magnified by them. The sound of the landing plane was clearly audible and the sound stayed with the movement of the plane, it was definitely low enough that the sound of it's turbines didn't trail behind it. But, as this other object passed the plane, I followed it until it passed over the corner of my home on it's north, slightly northwest trajectory. I observed it was moving a little bit faster than the descending speed of the plane, it had absolutely no wings or protrusions, in made absolutely no sound and it was lined with maybe 4 to 7 lights that appeared to be pulsating very brightly in shades of red and green, but because it appeared to by in a haze, almost like peering through a wave of heat that rises off of black top, any detail other than the lights and outline where not distinguishable. I can only speculate what this was but I have two theories. One is that it was hazy because of its height and is ! actually enormous or not quite so large and amplified by the magnifyin g properties of gases. Second the blurry affects are from a malfunctioning cloaking apparatus, and the lack of sound or wings or afterburner means it may have been an antigravity vehicle. These are not my pictures or video, but for reference purposes I have included them. The object in the video looks like it's actually reflecting light, the lights on what I saw where consistent. This is what I saw only more hazy and larger. The top comment from the Nexus Knight is mine: https://youtu.be/fPi0wi7gRgg A silent but illuminated cigar shaped craft passed a low altitude commercial passenger plane from opposite direction directly over head.

We were sitting in the back yard, when I looked up and seen a bright orange ball of light moving roughly south to north. As the ball got into line of vision dead on it changed course and started moving east. About 20 seconds later there was another one as bright as the first that changed direction at the same point. Now with 2 in vision heading east another one came from south and followed, followed by a 4th ball that had the same behavior. Witness provides no contact information. PD

On May 23, 2015, at approximately 2:50 am eastern time, one airplane, with flashing lights, was seen heading a northeast direction towards Syracuse. Approximately 4 seconds after the plane passes, I observed a round light that was constant, moving in the same direction as plane but slower, no flashing lights. About 4 to 5 seconds after light passed, another plane coming from same direction but appeared to be more north but heading same path as the first plane and light object, this one also had flashing lights, indicating to me as a airplane. My first guess is it may have been a satellite. My background would indicate that I may be paranoid, however I felt the need to report Even if it could have been a common manmade object. I wouldn't be able discern. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Webster, NY
I was walking my dog in neighborhood tract, and when she stopped to sniff, etc., I turned and noticed 6 or 7 reddish-orange objects tracking accross the sky. They seemed to be moving almost in a vee, like when geese migrate, but at one point, they clustered together closer, then began to travel again...the direction was west to east. I lost sight of them in the tree line, then saw them again in the distance, when they seemed to disappear. I turned to walk that way in the direction that I had initially come from, to see if I could see anything else. Over the next few minutes, I saw several single fireball orbs coming from the west, and heading east. No noise was heard with any of these objects; my dog (a hypervigilant border collie) did not react to anything.

My husband and I walked out of the house and saw an illuminated round object flying across the ski. It was round and orangey red glow. We watched it fly or glide across the ski till we couldn't see it anymore. I was frightened and wanted to leave quick. Wondering what we saw but I could say a ufo because I'm not sure what it was. Don't want to see that again!!!!!!!!

Melville, NY
looked like small globes of very bright white and golden colored light that seem to encircle each other. Very large, easily seen --there were 3 of them but 1 disappeared straight up into the night sky disappearing. The other two conglomerates were about a mile apart one higher in the skuy than the other. I could still see them while I was driving the 15 miles to my home from work. The other two people were as amazed as I was. I tried calling the local paper but only got an answering machine. I left a message. They probably think I am a crackpot. I have never seen anything like this before.

My husband first observed object that appeared as a red burning ball with no tail. He called for me to come up to our 2nd floor window to look. The object was moving horizontal to the northwest and not descending. I thought it was a plane on fire that was going to crash. It then disappeared behind our neighbors house and was no longer in sight. My husband & I both went to college and have resided in our home for 40 years.

My mother and myself parked in the parking lot of the shopping center. As we exited the vehicle, I looked up and saw a tall, transparent object slowly hovering about 25 feet above the tree line, moving slowly to the West. It appeared to be roughly 15 feet in height, and I could not make out the total with, as the buildings were blocking some portion of my line of sight. If I were to guess I would estimate the craft was near 30 feet in length. Due to the transparent nature of the material the object was made of, I could not determine its depth. I noticed the object because it slightly distorted the images it passed in front of. The object's structure appeared to almost be made of pipes or bars, similar to the construction of a bicycle frame, but on a much larger scale. By the time I reached for my phone, the object had floated beyond the tree line and past the buildings, breaking my line of sight. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I never reported this, but It happened in the 60's. My friends and I were camping out in my back yard. I looked up into the night, because there was a full moon out, and it was bright, I could also see the clouds, because the moon was so bright. Next: I saw something that looked like a tic-tac come out from behind the cloud and then retract back into the cloud. next the object came back out, but this time there were 2 of these objects, they both retracted back into the cloud and came back out and now there were 3 objects. The first craft (far left) rose to the top of the other 2 forming a triangle. Then shifted down to where the 3rd craft was on the far right. and the other at the other end (far left) rose to the top. then all 3 started rotating in this manner. They moved very fast, then like a rubber-band snapping I saw a flash that looked like a check mark and they were gone. For some strange reason, witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

When the object was high in the sky it looked like a red ball of light. When the object dropped from the sky and came closer to ground i visibly seen an object that was narrow at the top and got wider at the middle and at the objects base. There were bright red lights from top to bottom all around this object. Im not exactly sure how far away this object was from my backyard but i do know it came straight down from the sky and was in the north east. I looked up what wheather balloons look like and what military craft look like and this object was not like any of that. I was in shock when i seen that this thing was some sort of an actual object and not a shooting star or meteor. This is the first time i have ever witnessed something like this in the night sky descending toward earth. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
