i was at my parents cabin in ashford hollow ny for the holliday weekend. my kids were gonna meet me out there but didn't make it. so of the hundreds of times i've been there, this was the only time i was there by myself to witness something i swear i saw. there was a fireworks display about 10 miles north of where i was at. too far to really watch, but close enough to hear and see the flashes. about ten minutes after the grand finale i saw what i thought was a remnant of the show. only it was east rather than north. a different hill top all together. it was between trees at first, so i couldn't figure what it was i was seeing. then i saw it was coming straight over head. it was probably the same altitude as a jet might fly. it was shaped kind of like a derby hat is the best i can explain. green on top and red below. it sort of reminded me, in hindsight, as the colors of a jellyfish that are shown on tv. thats the closest discription i can give. i watched it ! through the trees and realized it was something i never had seen in my 54 years of life. it went from horizon to horizon within 20 seconds. i ran to the volley ball court to try and get a clearer view. and i did. no trees or clouds or any obstructions of any kind. i saw this thing clearly for at least 10 seconds before it went out of view behind me. i'm so shaken by what i know i saw. i've told nobody about this. i'm not a creep or nuts type guy. i've been scouring the web and news, but haven't seen or heard of any one that saw what i did. but i know what i saw.

Two flying blips of light caught on video.

My wife and I were shooting stills and digital video at Griffis Sculpture Park in Ashford Hollow, New York, about 30 miles south of Buffalo. The sky was mostly clear. Neither my wife nor I noticed anything strange at the time--not until we looked at the video footage later that day.

I was using a Sony Handicam on a tripod, taking a shot of a large metal sculpture, zooming out. A blob of light is seen coming from the top-center of the frame, gets slightly brighter, then fades out quickly. This first ufo is visible for perhaps a few seconds. Then, a few seconds later, in the same shot, another blip of white light seems to appear from somewhere behind the sculpture, and streaks toward the left and up slightly, very quickly, lasting maybe less than a second.

A jet plane (can't tell if it's commercial or military) is also in the shot, its vapor trail clearly visible. It seems to be climbing at a rather steep angle of ascent, but I'm not sure.

I have the original digital tape and an uncompressed .AVI file of the relevant footage that's about 40 megs. Let me know where to send it. I'd love to have some experts try to figure out what they are. As an amateur photographer, I'm pretty sure they weren't lense-flare or airplanes. The first ufo might have been a meteor or satellite, but the second ufo shot "up" unlike any meteor.
