Went outside to see the northern lights and saw a multiple circle of lights in the northeast sky..

We went outside to see if the northern lights were showing yet but we noticed a flashing circle of light. It did not move but we could see a plane passing nearby. Btw the plane looked small in comparison. My niece used her phone to record the light. My niece pointed out there was a triangle behind the lights. When I looked you could see the shape and lights.

We eliminated it being a manmade jet or helicopter bc of the stillness and silence of the flashing lights.

Great clear viewing night but within a half hour the flashing light vanished.
So we enjoyed the northern lights along with some unknown sky visitors.

Video upon request.

U.F.O. sighting over the Allegany river in New York.

We were with several people at a campgroung on the Allegany river near the Allegany state forest between Steamburg and Salamanca New York.

This object has been sighted several times this year. Our friends have seen it at least five times and told us about it.

We have been there a handful of times this year and it wasn't until this last trip that we actually got to see it first hand.

It was between 11pm and 12am that my friends wife pointed out a star or planet that was changing colors when all of a sudden we saw a huge bright yellow orange and very bright object come up over the treeline and traveled maybe a couple hundreds until it was almost over the top of us.

It stopped for about 2 or three minutes then it started moving at a 90 degree anlge in a different direction. We watched it while I struggled to put batteries in my camera. I managed to take pictures but it was pretty far away at that point.

After it disapeared and we were all standing around talking about it I glanced up and noticed something behind the trees (at the skyline) I drew everyone's attention to the fact and here it came again! It could have been a second one.

I took more pictures. When we returned home I downloaded our pictures from the weekend and three of them turned out! They are not crystal clear because of the brightness of the object but You can clearly make out the shape and color.

I was listening to the recording of the astronaughts on Atlantis who saw something this year and described it as being made of a soft looking reflective material which could explain the color of the object we saw reflecting the glow of the campfires throughout the area.

Shape: Oval


Strange circular shaped craft that was all white flying in the night sky of the Allegany Mt's.

I was camping with my family and everyone was sleeping. I was sitting near a fire and I was checking out the night sky.

It was very clear so there were many star’s to view. At about 11:00 pm Eastern standard time I noticed a strange looking craft flying through the big dipper. My first thought was that it was just a plane. But upon further review it was shaped like a circle or a oval. The craft was all white. There were no red or blinking lights that you normally see with a airplane.

I saw this craft making very quick turns and dips in the sky. I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me so I moved away from the fire to adjust my eyes. I kept track of this object and my eyes got adjusted so I continued to view this object. The thing that made me want to report this craft was how it was making very quick turns and dips in the night sky. It flew and moved in a triangular flight path. It moved into this position in about 1 second. It did this about 10 more times.

It moved back and forth between the big dipper and other stars so fast. I have never seen a object move this fast and take multiple positions in the sky. I do not think this was a plane. I have been observing the night sky since I was a child and this is the first time I have ever wanted to report an object. The other thing that caught my attention about this object was that it would move all over the sky and then go back to it’s original flight path. My observations about this object make me believe that it was very high in the sky and it was not close to me.

So if possible please advise on this. If this is a standard craft then please try to tell me what it was. Otherwise I hope someone else reported this.

I saw a white dome shaped object with a haze around it and a stripe on it that blended in with the backround

Around noon at a hillside campsite in Allagheny state park. We were about to leave when me and my friend looked up to see a white dome shaped craft come from behind a mountain peak. We all had a very good view at the object because there wernt any trees in our campsite. As it was flying I noticed as it flew in front of a small grey cloud, a stripe in the middle of the object matched the color of the cloud. The object seemed to have a haze around it so it could have been the same thing as the stripe on the object. After about 40 second it flew behind another peak. The next day it flew back to the original peak and i never saw it again.

3 silver discs

I was driving down the Four Mile rd. in Allegany on the way to class one warm afternoon in March when I happen to glance up in the sky and see three circular discs. They were traveling in a straight line, one after another. I watched them descend to my left, very slowly. Because I was running behind, I couldn'd stay and watch, but I did get pictures.

Date is approximate. We will request copies of the photos from the student who submitted the report. PD

Object in the sky

I was driving down the road (the 4 mile Rd.) about 11AM and I happened to look up in the sky and see an object with a bit of jet stream behind it heading to my right. At first, it was silver, but a few seconds later, it was creamish colored and kinda blurry around it. Then the jet stream disappeared and the object floated and then floated back across the sky to my left. I was watching it for about five minutes because I was late for meeting with my mother and I was able to take three pictures of it, but they are not developed yet. There was also an airplane (100% sure) in the sky way above it also.

I was sitting in my living room watching Tv and my sister was around in the kitchen i hadnt taken drugs or anything if you are wondering drugs when i looked out the window off into the front yard when i saw an illuminating light coming down through the tall pine trees around the house. i was curious as to what it was knowing that it was way too bright and different than the moon. so i went off the front porch transfixed on a green bright glowing ball of light in the northeast part of the sky. as i got to the road i stood there staring at it..a big ball of light as it shifted up then down and danced around sort of and then zoomed off into the night sky and dissappeared. that night it was impossible to get to sleep and i was disturbed by its randomness. till this day it brings a wierd chill to my body when i tell the story and i try to explain the expirience to people and so i want to see if there are any similar expiriences out there like this.
