When I got home a ufo was in the air after talking about existential physics ideas and possibility of ufos in therapy. I’m not kidding.

There wasn’t much to talk about in therapy so we’d discussed what I’d done that day, including watching the news on congressional ufo testimony, which led to an existential discussion about physics and the possibility of extraterrestrials. When I got home that night I got out of my car and the object was right in my line of sight while getting out of the car. I could tell it was rotating and just a thousand or so feet in the air. (Or appeared that way. Definitely an object in our atmosphere.) I watched it for a bit until the reality of the situation hit and I went into my apartment. It was a lot. After that pretty much immediately I started to notice a greater frequency of coincidences, which I don’t think are necessarily communicative. I know nothing can be done with that and it’s hard to believe. I’m sharing that because if you get enough cases of people experiencing that then you’ll get some sort of convergent validity. And I swear to you on my life, it’s true. I’m also submitting reports of filming it two more times months later, this October. Oh and that night and for weeks after my Apple watch frequently said there was a large magnet near it. Never did that before, never after. Oh. What also is weird is like a week before all this my Facebook algorithm was all planes. Post after post of planes. I posted screenshots of that actually and asked if anyone else had experienced that.

NUFORC Note:

Video shows Jupiter: Shone brightly throughout January and made a close conjunction with the first quarter moon on January 18.

A Brightly lit stationary craft zoomed and disappeared.

While riding down US Highway 19 at around 11:40 PM. I noticed bright white lights in the sky that were not moving. I asked my daughter did she see it and she said yes. When we moved closer to the area the lights were, I could tell it wasn't a plane by how bright the lights were and how still the object was. The lights were bright like lights at a football game but coming from in the air. There was a shadow in a V shape from a light being cast from the top of the object. After about 45 seconds of intensely looking at the object, the lights in the front of it looked as if it pointed up and the object disappeared. We both looked around the sky in every direction but we no longer saw the object. It was too fast to be a plane or drone. It was also way to larger to be a drone and to round to be a plane. Other drivers were on the road at the time that may can confirm this.

Round light wasn’t on plane aware app increased brightness traveled southeast faded away

Grandson and I were looking at the stars in between races at the dragstrip. He noticed a bright white perfectly round one moving from the northwest. I looked on Flight Aware and Planes live but it wasn’t on there. We were at a dragstrip and it was too noisy to hear if it had any sound. Appeared to be over 5000 feet traveling southeast at maybe 250-300 mph and we watched it travel across the sky. It was very bright and 30 seconds before it faded away it became brighter, dimmed to normal before it faded out. I thought it might be some type of military aircraft but I took a couple of pictures anyway. The pics were taken with my iPhone 13 and they raised my curiosity. Maybe it’s just the way the camera works taking pics of light when it’s dark out but it seems odd to me. A few minutes later i saw an airplane fly close to the same path but appeared to be at a higher altitude but it didn’t appear on either flight app i have on my phone. The apps did show aircraft but not real close to where we were. My grandson is 6 and I’m a 57 year old area sales manager.

NUFORC Note:

Witness later reported he identified the object as the ISS.

Star size and thought it was a plane far off and it put out a light arch

I saw a light going from west to east and thought it was a plane, but it was far enough away I saw no other lights . As I watch it it put out a burst of light that that formed an arch bar of light about 30 times the size of the light it came from. And was about 30 to 40 times the size of the light away from it. I saw about 20 light lines attached to the light and to the arch of light. Then the arch of light began to enlarge and move further from the light. As it did the lines of light faded away. The further the arch of light moved away it got larger and it faded away as well. The arch of light enlarged to about 3 to 4 times larger from what it started. I watched the light proceed further east and it finally turned south with no other light bursts . It was interesting ! I have no video, I just watched it .

Pulsing orb of rapidly changing lights.

Looked out my window at 10:30pm to see what appeared to be a very bright planet but it was strobing. Looked at it for awhile trying to make out what it could be. It was stationary for the duration. Video makes it appear to move, that’s just me not being stable. Decided to get my phone and record for a minute. Took the video (poor quality), returned my phone to the charger. When I turned around the light was gone. Took screen shots, frame by frame of the video and it’s pretty obvious that there’s some type of lighting and orbs forming a shape. It would pulse multiple colors rapidly, dim out and reset a pattern of colors. From a distance, it looked similar to a landing gear lights on a plane in brightness. Really odd that it was stationary and disappeared so rapidly. There was also no aircraft noise and my radar app showed no aircraft in the area. Both my wife and I had woken up strangely and both noticed this out our north facing window.

2 lights darting around

Got up to let the dog out and noticed what looked like two stars darting around in the sky. They were white and sometimes a secondary red light flashed for a few seconds, but not at regular intervals like an airplane. They were smaller than airplanes. They moved faster than airplanes or helicopters. The way they moved was most like a drone: rapidly darting then staying relatively still. They did not make any noise. I saw smaller white “stars” moving around them. It looked like the smaller objects were engaging them in some way. One of the two original objects disappeared. It seemed like it accelerated out of view in a couple seconds. The remaining object continues to hover and dart in the same area of the sky as I write this 45 minutes later.

I am 34, F, college educated, employed. I have no medical conditions, mental health conditions, or medications that would cause hallucinations. I do not use any drugs, including cannabis. I have not consumed alcohol in over 48 hours. I have never seen anything like this before. I am a UFO skeptic and believe all UFOs are man-made, and most are probably military surveillance devices undergoing testing.

Object came down from the sky

Driving southbound on New York State thruway in Albany NY. We noticed what was first thought as a plane falling from the sky. As it got closer we noticed that there was no sound and thought it was going to crash on our car (killing us) when this cigar shaped object stopped in mid air about 2 football fields away and slowly started flying away. We kept watching this object because we were now in shock when it seemed to accelerate at a speed so fast it was in space in a matter of seconds. When we got home our time was hours off. I felt off so much so that I couldn’t even go to work for around 4 days. This happened so long ago but I still have the memory and how I felt after that night.

Straight line of multiple light moving very slowly northeast until vanished completely in two seconds.

Leaving parents on the Tennessee and Kentucky border at around 6:18 PM on 12-3-2021. My son was first one off porch and looked up and asked if it was Santa and his reindeer. When my mom looked up saying what the, so me and my father went to take a look, witnessing a straight line of multiple light moving at a slow rate of speed northeast in a horizontal position and as it was slowly moving a aircraft was moving towards it in a high rate of speed. The closer the aircraft got to the object the slower it went but moving into a vertical position, in which the light started going away from both end until completely gone in 2 sec. The whole experience lasted around 3 - 4 minutes. With the sky so clear there was nothing that the object could have got behind or any laser hitting clouds to reflect back the multiple light in a straight line. I tried recording with phone but it doesn't show up. There was also a aircraft moving towards subject in a high rate of speed. The closer the aircraft got, the more it was in horizontal position. Then once the aircraft looked like it was at the bottom of the light it completely vanished. The animals was going crazy and I felt like I had just ran a 5k run in three minutes and filling somewhat confused and drained. I would like to know if anyone else has reported of this phenomenon. I know it couldn't have been any kind of government communication system. Because unless cloud or something was in sky to reflect the lights back to me they would just be visible from the sky. Feel free to give me information on this or any other reports on this. Thank you

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

As I was driving down Washington Avenue in Albany, Ny I noticed a red sphere floating across the sky just below or even with the clouds. This red sphere was pulsing not flashing like a light you would typically see on a helicopter or an airplane. The entire sphere was illuminated red, similar in color to the flame in a fire and kept pulsing dim to bright.

It was moving steadily but not too fast across the sky tracking northwest to southeast over Suny Albany around 12:08 a.m. on Thursday 9/20/2021, Wednesday night. Due to me being at work i was unable to get any pictures or video of this encounter per company policy.

I am a bus driver for the local public transit company and this is not like anything i have ever seen in my life. I am 37 years old and have seen numerous planes and helicopters in the night sky as i typically work the night shift. I did notice another person pulled over his car and was standing outside of his vehicle watching this object move across the sky.

Hopefully he was able to snap a picture or video of it and also reports it. I was going to take a video and pictures of it when i pulled into the local college and was able to park my bus, but as i turned into the college i looked back at where this object was and it was gone.

green ball of light descent

Was sitting talking, windows were still open, clear night no clouds but was dark - I was facing the window listening to friend talk when I saw a flash of light, and looked and there was a ball of green light with an aura of lighter green surrounding it fully 'dropping' straight down - it didn't drop not fast like a meteor or falling star, but also was not slow. As it dropped there was a light 'tail' that was short but disappeared as it moved. I tried to make sense and then said "oh my God - check that out" and my friend turned but it disappeared into a nearby large forested area off the Willamette River; it could not be seen due to the trees not because it faded out - looked as if it were ~ 5 miles away, not too far.

The object then quickly darted west approximately 30 degrees and did it again. Then it darted back to the East about 40 degrees and faded away. I got video and was able to get a pretty good still from the footage. My neighbor was driving to Salem at the time and saw it as well. She stated that it was North of Salem and was big.

Odd light that changed directions.

While traveling down a small single lane country road myself and my friend witnessed a large, very bright white light streaking down the sky. The entire event was probably less then 2 seconds. At first glance the object appeared to be a oddly bright pure white shooting star. While the object was tracking through the sky the object abruptly changed directions and began traveling straight up before disappearing.

Recorded a small white tictac shaped object silently streak across the sky, just above the church across the street

I was sitting on my front steps. Something caught the corner of my eye. A small white tictac shaped object was silently streaking across the sky, right above the church, across the street from my house. I watched it for probably 5 seconds before I realized I could record it with my phone. It continued across the sky until out of sight.

There was a loud roar for several minutes outside and when I stepped onto the deck I saw several lights in the sky. I called my wife and my son out to look at what was in the sky and we saw approximately 5 bright lights moving at different angles at very high speeds moving in toward each other at one point in the sky. One moved at a vertical angle and when one crossed it's path it made a zero turn and gave chase very quickly. Within a few minutes they all moved outward in different directions in the sky.

9 orangeish (or a single object) in the sky during the day.

I was walking across the street in downtown Albany, NY and was looking at the building architectures. I saw a sign that I thought was interesting against the blue sky. That’s when I noticed an odd formation in the sky. It was a number of orangish dots, eight in a circle and one in the center (after looking at my photo). I couldn’t tell if it was a single object or nine objects together in unison.

There wasn’t a lot of clouds in the sky, a few. So the formation (or object) didn’t stand out like a plane in the sky, but you could definitely see it against the blue sky. The dots were a tad faint, almost like they were glowing, but very lightly. I don’t want to say they were pulsating, but they did come across as glowing.

It had some rotation. Again, not sure if it was a single object in the sky or nine individual objects, but they seemed to move in unison. The rotation was very slow, but it was enough to notice that there was movement.

I quickly pulled out my camera and managed to take a single photo. I tried to take a video, but as I switched over to video on my phone, the object(s) quickly moved to the upward towards the left and then was gone.

Unidentified flying object Heading Easterly North.

Looking up from the vehicle window parked in McDonald's parking lot. I and my sister both were in awe of the sight we saw. A Long Silver Cigat shaped object. Which was very shiny, especially when the sun hit it just right.

We both questioned what we were seeing. As it disappeared behind a small line of clouds, within minutes a high speed Jet was hot on its trail.

They started shooting up one by one almost thought they were aircraft or something taking off or if we were about to be bombed because they had made a diamond type formation sitting still not moving then made a square like formation then they all went in a line and then slowly all disappeared. My neighbors next to me also saw this as well. They were orange like fire almost.

Two illuminated objects travel in tandem silently; one emits illuminated objects three different times

Viewing location: University at Albany. As I entered East University Drive from a parking lot, I noticed two lights on the horizon to the south of my position which I assumed to be an incoming flight to Albany International Airport. However, this was west of the typical flight paths that I often observed, and it appeared to be dropping illuminated objects. Suspecting this to be an aircraft in distress, I quickly drove into the football stadium parking lot for a better look. By this time it was almost about to pass me, but then I observed that each illuminated object was separated and moving in tandem. The second object continued to drop illuminated objects at intervals. These were silent.

Fortunately, I captured the objects (and another drop of illuminated objects) via iPhone 8 video as they were passing me and heading north. The treeline can be seen with a bright monitor, as well as the corner of SEFCU Arena at the end of the video.

Puzzled by what I had witnessed, I enlarged one of the objects with my video editing program — but it's just as mysterious. The original file and the magnified file are in these Dropbox links.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8t4pkv1ejxw3xc6/Video%20Oct%2010%2C%2011%2040%2042%20PM.mov?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pmiyoxmve2kdvs6/UFO_Over_Guilderland_Closeup_Flashes.mov?dl=0 Based on incoming airline flights to Albany International Airport, I would estimate these to be 2,500 to 4,500 feet. A Times Union city desk editor called a spokesperson at the airport to inquire about craft in the area on this date and time. Two weeks later, the contact responded the airport had no information about these objects in its airspace.

Because the objects were to my right (heading north), I would estimate them to be traveling over part of Guilderland — which borders Albany.

One of the Times Union's reporters contacted a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy for assistance, but he was too busy last spring. So, I'm filing the report here.

I have drawn maps that illustrate the path — which may be helpful, too.

A bright low flying flashing light coming from the south west direction headed east moving slow and below the cloud bank.

It finally disappeared into cloud bank.

Distant (no ability to gauge, nor size,) a yellow light with alternating orange circle.

Redo: Sorry this took so long, busy, fired, then I got the flu that laid me up for a month or more and I broke a rib coughing. In that time my van’s battery ran down and I don’t have a computer on the internet. I’m at the Albany Public Library.

First about me: 1) I served in the US Navy and had watch standing as a duty on ships where I was trained to watch the sky and look for any in bound objects. This entailed me having to give the location in the sky of anything in the sky, 2) I was in commercial flight school, second year, when 911 happened. I am familiar with standard aviation markings at night.

On 10/19/17 I was driving to work in Albany, NY, and made a shortcut through a nearby stadium parking lot. It was night and I stopped to adjust my clothing which had bound up. As I looked toward the eastern sky at about 30 degrees off the horizon, due East I saw an object traveling at what I estimate to be about 100 plus knots straight up.

The object was yellow with orange flashing lights. This is not the markings of any terrestrial aircraft and the speed excludes anything like balloons, and the altitude it reached was at I estimate over a mile up.

I checked with the airport and the ceiling was broken at one to ten miles, where it disappeared in one to two minutes.

Then I saw a second object and recorded it on my phone. The images move side to side from holding the phone. The sound in the background by chance is a rebroadcast of Coast to Coast with Art Bell on my car's radio.

Bright white object with flashing red lights appeared to be triangle shaped.

I was in my backyard and noticed a very bright light in the west sky. The white light had red lights on it that appeared to be blinking. I honestly thought it was a plane at first, however it seemed to hover in one spot and then move back and forth. At one point it seemed to move toward my direction and it looked like a triangle.

I had my daughter come look and she thought it was a plane but it continued to hover and move back and forth which was exactly what I saw. There wasn't any noise, it was a clear night many stars but nothing like this.

I'm going to email the video and pictures.

Round bright object

I noticed a very bright white object to the west while I took my dogs out tonight. The object was larger and brighter than the stars. I watched the object for 15 minutes it didn't move like a plane and there wasn't any noise. When it moved it at times left a streak of light behind it.

It went from the West to the East towards I-5, which I live close to. This object didn't move in a pattern like a plane and when it moved it took a few seconds to track where it moved to. It was a round bright white object.

The last time I saw it it moved toward the North East and was gone.

The night was very clear lots of stars. I'm not sure what this was, but I am sure it was not a plane or a star.

Alien or Angel cloud in Albany GA.

My experience with this cloud was out of this world. Personally I had been going through some things. Defeated and heartbroken something said look out the window. Unaware of the beautiful present the awaited me outside, I looked out the window and was immediately mesmerized. The cloud had 2 contrails coming from it, my first reaction was is something going to crash? Once I noticed the this was not a cloud and something was going on I grabbed my phone and snapped two photos. Other than the contrails the cloud kinda just floated away, I called my family and told them I had experienced something very unusual, and I wanted to share my photo with the world. Something was watching me in my backyard and I don't know what it was!

Two strange bright white lights hovering high above interstate

Wife noticed bright light above I-5 near Albany. Light appeared to be brighter and more white than the softer yellow glow of a streetlight. Light was also much higher in the air than any possible structure could reach and basically hovered directly over highway. Harshness of light dissipated as we drove under it, revealing a lit rectangular shaped bottom. Similar hovering light appeared again a few minutes later further down the highway.

I've driven this same stretch of I-5 many times before, and have never seen, or noticed, anything like this.

At around 5am a bright orange object emitted a smaller object seeming to track the area. I could tell it was not a star because it was moving. It seemed to prefer a higher area in the sky--it would come down and then go back up. It could change colors from orange to white.

Large reddish orange craft moving SW at fast rate of speed. Heard roaring almost like engine. Noisy neighborhood though.

I stepped outside to look for meteors, and looked about 45 degrees SW towards the moon and saw a bright red, almost life fire from a night air balloon, moving across the sky very fast. The lights we're not flashing or changing colors, but were like a glowing red and orange.

The glowing area was close enough near the moon that it appeared to be half the size of the moon. It was probably no more than 5 miles away. I could hear a humming or rotary sound like an airship of some kind. But it moved across the sky towards to the SW and was gone from wight within 20 to 30 seconds.

I missed about 10 when seconds, when I ran inside like an idiot to tell my son.

My mom and dad approached me back in the summer of 2016 saying how they saw a orange ball of approaching over the field behind their home at an extremely low altitude. They said it was like a ball of molten liquid, made a crackling sound. They thoughy maybe a plane was crashing... they even called 911.

As they are telling me rhis, I chalked it up to be, "Yeah, right, they had top much to drink." Until i stayed over and slept in a tent in their back yard August 2016. I woke up at about 6am, to a low flying molten ball dripping like molten metal is the only way to describe it, crackling, flew at a decline to where it got so low it almost hit the roof. I freaked out, frozen in place.

Later that morning, we looked for burns in the yard or on the concrete but didn't find a single thing of evidence. I dont know what i saw but i know my parents aren't lying cause I saw it myself, dead sober, just after dawn when I was alone. My dad and mom have had sightings of the same thing since even as recent as a couple of weeks ago. There is no pattern. No reports of space rocks.. nothing. I know what i saw and i dont know what the hell to even call it. And its always the same. A ball of orange dripping like molten metal with a crackling sound swmi slow moving and declines in altitude, and then suddenly it's gone.

Riding my bike at 11:11pm near my motel.

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.

Oregon UFO spotted near I-5 North towards Salem

We were going on the highway north towards Salem. I'm pretty sure it was around Albany, we saw a bright white light. As we got closer we noticed it was hovering and not moving.

We passed the light and it was so close we could see intricate detail like lines on the surface. It was extremely high tech and had three lights on each point.

After we passed it, we watched it from behind and it starting moving across the highway behind us, and had a bright white light towards our direction. After a few minutes it disappeared.

I'm hoping someone else saw this and caught a video because my phone memory was full, and I didn't have enough time to get one

Driving home from the store my daughter and I both noticed two fast moving white lights in the sky. The lights darted across the sky going South. We followed the lights approximately 2 miles and were unable to keep up with them. We lost sight of the lights as they went over a tall grove of trees. There were headed toward the I-5 corridor going toward Eugene. They were round and white in color and didn’t make any noise. This is the second time in a month that I have noticed lights like this in this general area. It was a clear evening no clouds.

Two bright white lights moving very fast eventually stopping next to a third into a triangle formation

I was in the backyard, talking on the phone, and a bright white, round, object caught my eye in the sky.

I began watching it and it started darting back and forth extremely fast it was at times difficult to follow.

I then noticed another bright white light that appear to drop out of the original white light and it started darting around. Both white lights then stopped next to a third light I hadn’t noticed, and they went into a triangle formation. There a very dim line that appeared to connect each light to one another.

Once the lights aligned into the triangle they were gone.

It was a very clear night with some low clouds.

The entire sighting lasted approximately 10 minutes.

3 orange moving lights in the sky, not aircraft.

((name and address of witness deleted)) Second Street ((deleted)) Albany, New York 12206 ((telephone number deleted))

About me: I am a former ((deleted--military)) trained and with other skills including observation. I later reenlisted in the ((deleted)) and stood watches looking for anything approaching and around the ships I was on at sea; this was in the water and air. After the military, I trained as a civilian pilot, but stopped my flight school during 2001 on 9/11. I watch the sky and know what I see.

On 6/26 at approximately 2100 hours, I was southbound in Albany on route 787 on the ramp to interstate I- 90’s, the arterial. About 30 degrees north of the horizon and due south I saw three orange pinpoint spots in the sky. This was different from normal air traffic. There were no standard aviation lights which are green, white, and red. The spots went from two and one behind at a third. They were traveling at a high rate of speed and not on a normal flight path, usually in this part of the sky in the landing path to Albany Airport. They were far in the distance.

Their path was from east to west.

I was into a turn and couldn’t keep my eyes on them due to traffic. When I was out of traffic they were gone. They were not stars there were two planets in the low sky to the west that might be Venus and Jupiter, maybe Mars and they were white in color. I saw no stars. This was not glare or a reflection.

These were moving and orange. The first two were about five degrees apart and the third back at ten degrees from the second and a little lower in the sky maybe by one or two degree.

I do not believe they were any form of meteor (falling stars) because there was no trail or streak and they weren’t bright enough. They were traveling at the same rate of speed paralleled to the horizon.

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Large rectangle shaped craft. Large white lights at each end, moving very slowly, at low altitude, and no sound.

I drive a wood chip truck and travel to various mills and wood processing facilities in the Willamette Valley and southern Washington.

Friday, 6-19-2015, at approx. 19:45, I witnessed two military Blackhawk helicopters flying near Halsey, OR, at around 100 feet elevation, and thought it was a little odd, but dismissed it.

I then proceeded to Camas, Washington, and at approx. 22:45, while traveling eastbound on Hwy 14 in Washington, saw 4 or 5 Blackhawk helicopters hovering over the Columbia River, spaced around a half mile apart or so.

I unloaded at the mill then headed west on 14, and turned south on to the 205 freeway and then south on I-5, and continued south heading back to Eugene, OR. As I came to the north side of Salem, OR, there was another chopper hovering maybe a hundred feet above the freeway, then another one at about the same elevation on the south side of Salem.

I continued south and took exit 244 just north of Albany, OR, and pulled over to the shoulder of the on ramp to have a smoke. I was outside of the truck and noticed a craft coming from the northwest and it flew directly over me and continued on in a southeast direction.

The craft was flying at maybe 1,500 hundred feet, and incredibly slow, and was completely silent. The craft was shaped basically like a giant ruler, and had large square shaped lights on each side. For comparison if you look at a ruler and go from the end of the ruler to 2 inches on one side and from the end of the ruler to 10 inches that would be comparable to the size of the lights, and From how far the lights were separated it had to be the size of two 747’s sitting wing tip to wing tip..

The lights were white in color and didn’t flash or change at all and as it flew past me there was another small white light flashing from one side of the craft to the other. There were no nose or tail lights and really appeared to be a giant skinny rectangle.

I got back in the truck and continued south on I-5, and lost sight of the object over the hills to the southwest, and as I approached Albany, OR, there was another chopper hovering just off to the west of the freeway.

Bright oval disc shaped stationery object in the sky

Me and my wife were about to enter our local ShopRite supermarket, when we saw a very bright oval/disc shaped object in the sky. At first I thought it was an airplane but it was quite large and wasn't moving so I pointed it out to my wife. There were moving clouds below where the object was and we stood for a while to see whether the object moved or not. The object remained stationery for about 5 mins, and we were able to take a picture of it with her smartphone.

I should mention that I noticed 3 lights in a triangle around the same area the night before but unfortunately I do not have reliable witnesses of that event. I was with 3 people who refused to even look at the sky when I brought it to their attention.

275°-290° West of coordinates 42°44'7" N 89°22'54" W at around 6:00 me and my two friends were outback on my patio smoking a cigarette and looking at stars when we saw and extremely bright white light above my tree line all by itself with very little light pollution in the background. No surrounding stars in that area. We sat and looked at it for around 20-30 minutes. While looking at it we saw a very small orange/red light falling and a slow speed under the trees. While looking at the very large and very bright white light we could see it sway left and right acutely. We finished our cigarette and proceeded to go inside the house. An hour later when we went out to smoke another cigarette, we noticed that both the bright white light and the tiny red light we completely gone. Nothing to be see. I will also note that it was extremely quiet outside and no wind, clouds, or other things that could distort our vision. I will continue to monitor the sky in the surrounding area for the next few weeks to see If it returns or I find something else.

P.S. I did attempt to capture pictures of the light, but my cell phone could not capture it.

11 orange colored singular lights/crafts seen by 3

My husband and I walked outside of our house at 11:15pm the night of March 2nd, 2015, to witness multiple singular Orange colored lights in the sky.

At first, it looked as if there were only 6 of light/crafts, but as we stepped out further into our front yard we saw 5 more flying directly over us and our house, 11 craft in total.

6 lights were traveling in a straight line one after another with almost perfect distance between them on the Western horizon headed South with the other 5 lights in the Southeastern part of the sky, these lights were the ones that flew directly over our house and my husband and I, these lights/crafts seemed MUCH closer than the other 6 on the horizon, this group of lights was also traveling South.

The two formations of lights seemed to be traveling to the same point in the sky... The Southeastern group of lights stopped in the sky and 3 of them formed a perfect triangle while the other 2 made a line below the triangle, in the end, with the formation looking like a key shape or a backwards P. This group of lights stayed in the sky for at least 3 minutes before one by one they disappeared.

The other 6 lights were traveling in a perfect line for about 1-1.5 minutes. Then the lights started grouping together in pairs and traveling at the same speed next to each other then stopped and made a square, then a triangle and then a long triangle and stayed in that same formation and spot in the sky for several minutes then one by one they disappeared also.

I was able to snap 2 photos of the crafts flying over our house but for some reason after that my camera would not work for me to take a video.

These are the same lights we saw in the sky no more than a month ago. Same color, same shape, almost the same time of night, but this time there were A LOT MORE!!! The first time there were only 4 crafts and we were able to get a video which is on my desktop.

I reported that incident here as well. Not sure what is going on, but this seems to be becoming a frequent happening. Good, bad? Not exactly sure but it does give one quite an ERIE feeling.

Anyone else in the area see these lights? How do I attach the video and photos to this report?

Can someone please tell me what is going on?????

My husband and I were driving to Walmart in Albany, NY. There was a huge light they was shining in the sky. As we approached and got closer to it, it appeared to be landing. Then it got closer, but we could not here anything.

We drove under it and we couldn't see it anymore. But as we drove under it we tried to hear if it was a helicopter or a plane. No plane could possibly move that slow and in circular motion.

The object flew away, and we were unable to locate it.

Illuminated object moving south, stopped in sky over Albany

The morning of Tuesday October 28th at 10:10am I was driving down SW Queen Avenue going west. I was on my way to a college recitation and had volunteering to drop my boyfriend off near his place of employment before I left town. After dropping him off and turning onto Queen Ave from a parking lot that crosses with SE Hill Street I noticed something extremely bright in the sky. As I was moving west down Queen, the object was moving from the north to south.

At first glance, I thought the object I was looking at must be a plane. The reasoning for this was because of a nearby airport, as well as how low the object seemed to be relative to the altitude that planes fly at when they have completed their ascent. The object also appeared to be moving at a rate comparable to that of an airplane. What compelled me to keep staring what the unbelievable brightness of the object. Initially I thought that it may be reflecting the light from the clouds which were bright that morning. The longer I stared at it, the stranger it seemed that there appeared no colored lights on the object. I also began to notice that the object at first glance had appeared to be plane shape, but the longer I watched it move through the sky the more I was able to define that it appeared, in fact, as a crescent shape with its widest diameter parallel with the ground.

Once I began to realize how out of sync this object was with what I am accustomed to seeing from a plane, I followed it's trajectory with my eyes as I continued to make my way west on Queen. Next something very strange happened. The object I had been watching moved in front of clouds that were much darker, gray color. It was then I saw that the light didn't seem to be reflecting onto the object from the clouds, but coming from the object itself. The best way to describe it, was that it appeared to be self-illuminated. The color was a very bright white color.

The object moved west from my perspective. A few moments later object stopped moving entirely. It was suspended in the sky, and no longer appeared crescent like it had when it was closer to me, but appeared orb-shaped. The only thing I can compare it to is a star. It looked like a low hanging star in our atmosphere in the middle of the morning. After a five to ten second stillness, the object moved at a much, much faster rate west, or backwards from where I was staring. The movement of the object at this point was unfamiliar to me, and the best way I can describe it was like it had moved at warp speed and now was the size of a needle pinhead in the sky. It was then that I turned north onto Pacific Avenue from Queen and was unable to further locate the object in the sky.

Watch a very large, very bright orange light travel from the SE moving North. It traveled about as fast as the average satellite only much bigger and much brighter. Once it got further north it appeared to stop and remain stationary. It may have been moving. It was hard to determine at that point.

Unknown object (light) seen over Albany, Oregon on July 5th, shortly after 10 pm.

On July 5th, my husband, granddaughter and I walked out our front door to light off some leftover fireworks. It was several minutes after 10 pm. My husband was bent over in the street in front of our house, attempting to light the first firework. My granddaughter and I were gazing up at the sky. It was a clear night and we were looking at the stars.

Suddenly, we saw a light, about the brightness of a planet, moving overhead. The object was coming from a southwesterly direction. At first, we thought it was a plane, but quickly realized that there were no blinking lights and it was moving at an incredible rate of speed; much faster than any plane I have ever seen. Also, we could not detect any sound coming from the object.

We quickly called attention to it and my husband stopped what he was doing to watch it with us. The object was traveling in a northeasterly direction, traversing an arc of about 120 degrees. We were stunned at the speed with which it traveled, having never seen anything that has ever come close to that speed; not military or civilian jet or satellite.

Within about 10 seconds, it disappeared from our view.

My husband and I are used to watching the sky and have always,up to this point, been able to identify what we have seen. We had no clue what this object was, however.

Three bright orb like lights in a triangular formation , Vales Mill Road, Albany.

While driving home about two years ago, I noticed a bright light in the sky similar to a helicopter spotlight. As I looked closer, it was three white lights in a triangular form that appeared to be fallowing me, but never moved out of formation.

Since I had recently moved to the area I told myself I was just imagining it out of fear because I was driving down a dark country road.

Tonight (4/11/14) while driving home I seen the three bright lights again. They hovered above the trees in the same formation as I had seen before.

I thought about all the possibilities of what it could be but nothing logical comes to mind. There is not a home in that area and it there were the lights did not pulsate or the view of them did not get obstructed in any way as I traveled further down the road, lights from anything that would come from a home or even a person in the woods would have been blocked by the trees in this heavily wooded area.

As I said before these lights hovered directly above the trees (not way up in the sky) they also did not have a beam coming from them, more like 3 bright white orbs in a triangular formation that moves but does not break the formation.

New Years Eve 2013 sighting of four orange lights in Albany Oregon

Sighting occurred on Dec 31st 2013 between 8:30 and 8:45. I spotted four unidentifiable orange lights in the skies above 1525 SE Geary St, located in Albany Oregon.

A small orange light, about equal in size to the lights you might see on a passing airplane and at about the same elevation, was seen suspended in place in the west sky, alone and unmoving. Two of my co-workers spotted the light and we observed it for approximately a minute before a second orange light appeared to rise slowly from directly below the first light, and then moved into place just to the left (south) of the first light. Once in position directly left of the first light, the second light stayed motionless in the air, the same as the first. We observed these two lights for about five minutes, until the second light traveled increasing its elevation while moving away west, until it was no longer visible. The first light remained in it's position.

Almost immediately after the exit of the second light, a third light, of equal size and hue as the first two was spotted in the northeast sky, at about the same elevation and distance from our location as the first two. This light also remained motionless in the sky. We observed this third light as well as the first for another minute or so before a fourth light appears in the sky to the right (east) of the third light and just slightly above it. This light again was the same hue, size, and height as the first three lights.

The light remained in position next to the third for about two to five minutes before traveling up in elevation and away from us towards the northeast, in the same manner as the second light. About five minutes after that, the third light disappeared, heading up and away just as the third light had done. The first light remained in it's position for another few minutes before also traveling up and away in the westward direction, just like the secon! d light.

All of the lights were the same hue, size, and distance from our position. The light was orange, like the color of flame, and solid, not blinking. The lights all moved very slowly and in directions a commercial airplane could not, such as straight up.

My friend and I were driving back home to NYC on interstate 87 when I noticed what I thought was an airplane hovering in the sky. However as I got closer it remained stationary. Being in the passenger seat I put my head out the window to a clear sky and could clearly see the triangular dark structure of it with its green white and red lights flashing. I although music was playing low I could not hear a sound from the object. Then when we got under the object it flew in the opposite direction to what I thought the front of it was. I got my friend to then pull over and the object was no longer visible. The highway is very dark so the skies are clearly lit with stars and the weather is very cold but sky is clear I clouds as well. I expect other cars on highway might have seen it too.

5 bright flashing lights, blue, red, green and white

There was a flashing light in the sky. It was blue, red, green and white. I thought it was an airplane, but it did not move.

We watched it for almost one hour then just got tired of it. There were 4 in front of my house and one in the back. There was one that was very bright. It almost looked like lights on a cop car.

The others seemed farther away and were not as bright. The brightest one was very big and in an obvious circle shape. We are getting used to seeing the orange lights, tonight was different. These were very strange.

I wonder why Albany has so many sightings but no one ever investigates them.

Occurred: 2013-10-22 06:00 Local
Reported: 2013-10-24 17:18 Pacific
Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Albany, NY, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large disk shaped flying object with lights spotted in Albany, NY before dawn

It was still very dark and cloudy, but I went out for a jog on my street which does have numerous street lights.

As I turned a corner I glanced up and saw what I thought was a plane at first, judging from the lights, but then realized this was a large saucer shaped craft not like any plane I've ever seen. It was too dark to make out much but the shape and numerous lights, red, white and other colors I think, but the red and white were the most distinctive.

There was no noticeable sound emitted and the object moved slowly in a northeastern direction.

Before it should have been out of my line of vision (if it continued along the same path) it suddenly just disappeared from view.

Unknown Lights

I went to the backyard to let my dog go potty (12:15 am).

All of sudden I looked up in the sky and saw a white light about the size of a pencil eraser. I figured it was a plane, but all of sudden it changed size from pencil eraser to like a dime, and changed colors to red on top, and blue on bottom.

There was no sound to be heard.

Something like a red/white light or flair shone out of the bottom toward the ground. Almost instantly, it did a weird s-type turn to the upper right and the lights went out.

I kept looking at the sky, and in about 15 to 30 seconds it reappeared to the right of where I originally saw it, about dime size, red on top, blue on bottom.

I decided to get some friends in the house to come out to see it, but by the time we all looked back at the sky, it was gone. We watched watched the area in the sky for about 15/20 minutes but never saw anything.

For the next hour, off and on, I looked at the sky, but it never re-appeared.

I do not know what it was, but it was not like anything I've seen. Its movements were very fast and strange.

Location: Albany, NY, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

There were about 30 objects in a huge formation, round , reddish orange , globe figures. A few moving in odd figure eight type movements.

This was on THE NORTHWAY coming from exit 6 to exit 5. Cars were slowing down and a few pulled over.

Very odd; no explanation, notified news 10, wrgb6, and air national guard.

I have no explanation for what we saw but the 30 or so globes in an equidistant formation slowly drifted towards the highway and these globes that looked like fireballs kepts moving without makign a sound.

I truly hope other corroborate what we witnessed. Maybe a government flying exercise of some unknown technology?

Green light ball on my picture

Sunday May 19th 2013 I was on my way back to University campus at Albany, NY.

Approximately 800 feet from campus I took a random picture of the sky.

Today, May 24th, 1am, I was going through my pictures on my iPhone when I looked to the same picture taken on the 19th.

I noticed a tiny, but notable, green ball, it's a lightening green and perfectly round. Decided to post on Instagram, because until that moment I thought it was a funny thing.

30 minutes before I posted my picture a girl had posted the same thing: a picture of a her view/lanscape, and the same little green ball was there. she also noticed the ball in her picture while browsing her pictures on her phone. Both of us did not see the green ball at the moment when the picture was taken.

Me at least because I didnt stop to take the picture and didn't look to the floor, where the ball is. I remember looking at the sky, that looked nice at the moment, and took the picture.

Just want to know what is that if someone else got the same thing. if its a bug on iPhones, what i dont believe thats the answer.

Lens flare? Very small object, with lawn as background. PD

White Light Moving Fast

I was sitting on my back porch.

Suddenly I saw a white light moving in the sky.

It was moving fast.

It moved too fast and was too far away for me to make out the shape of the craft.

I wanted to continue to follow it with my eyes but it flew behind a tree.

I couldn't see it anymore because the leaves and branches were in the way.

I ran to the other side of the tree to follow it.

But by the time I got there the craft had disappeared.

Once again this was just a white light moving horizontal very fast.

5 to 6 orange glowing lights upstate NY disappeared/ triangle.

2330 hours upstate ny leaving a friend's house looked up saw 5 to 6 yellow low level (maybe a mile and a half up)its hard to tell distance but much closer then the moon.

I called to my friend and said look at that and he stated that they where just floating balloons with candles attached,it was at this point I began to think he might be right until all but three lights disappeared and the last 3 where in perfect triangle formation.I stated to my friend that the triangle looks weird and no sooner did i say it one of the lights passed between the other to lights at twice the speed the leading light then disappeared and the last to lights disappeared at or about the same location .when I say triangle formation my guess is that the lights where about 50 yards from each other,I have never seen anything like it before.

Duration: 3 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Albany, NY, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Changed Colo

I had stepped outside and noticed in the southern sky a shiny oval shaped reflection which I initially thought was a plane. The brightness of the object caught my eye and I originally watched as I thought this must be light reflecting off a plane however within 3 seconds the object had just disappeared. There was no contrail and the object appeared to be at an high altitude and in the distance so I heard no sound.

In summary, a brightly reflecting oval shape drew my attention when I stepped outside around 3:30 pm this afternoon in Albany, New York. The object was moving away from my vantage point and the object had vanished within 3 to 5 seconds of me noticing it and observing it directly as I originally thought it was a plane. I had fixed my gaze on the object as I believed it was so shiny due to the sun's reflection. The shiny decreased iinstantaneously into a blackish color as the object "vanished" into thin air.
