Location details: Coming home by boat on the Seneca River last night in Baldwinsville. No moon, no clouds.

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object

Almost home when my wife alerted me to look up. Hard to say what it’s altitude was - maybe 2500’ and moving very slowly

Saw the long ship - it was NE of us and probably 2-5 miles away. The ship is atleast 500’ long. Looks like a slim submarine with portholes down its length. The portholes are lit up. This is the second sighting that my wife and I had - same exact ship. I’m December, the ship silently went right over the top of our house (only 500’ in the air). Did not get pictures in December but was able to get a few pictures last night. Like in December, this ship literally disappeared in front of us after viewing it for 20-30 secs. I’m guessing but the ufo from last night night seemed like it was very close to the Syracuse airport - I’d like to know if there were any other sightings reported in our area

Occurred: 2019-10-28 22:00 Local
Reported: 2019-10-30 07:21 Pacific
Duration: 30-45 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Baldwinsville, NY, USA

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams, Landed

Observed four crafts moving strangely over the Seneca River.

Monday October 28th, myself, my husband and my daughter witnessed odd crafts over the Seneca River. We were in town at the local laundry mat and the clothes were in the dryer so my daughter and myself decided to go outside for a walk. We walked down to the Seneca River and were walking eastward when we noticed a strange light flashing over the river to the SE.

It was obvious this was something odd, it was stationary, but not, it would stay in one place until it jumped up or down or left or right, but we did not see it move, this may sound absurd but it was as if it was teleporting. As we watched the light, another one appeared ( simply appeared in our field of vision, it did not fly in) to the south of the first. They moved towards each other, the flashing intensified as if they were fire flies communicating, they passed each other, one over the other and then one lowered and one rose and they just sat there parallel to each other flashing. We just stood there and watched, trying to wrap our heads around what we were seeing.

Appx. 15 minutes or so into the event we noticed another light rising out of the trees on the far side of the river, it rose straight up, as it rose there was a steady bright light on the underside of the craft that illuminated the trees. It climbed to a height slightly lower than the other two and proceeded in a southerly direction, it stopped and hovered to the south of the other two crafts. The third craft suddenly light up so bright it looked like another moon, or a streetlight, it was just the white light, very bright, for about 10 seconds before it proceeded back to the north gaining altitude as it went, at a faster pace and we lost sight of it. The first two started drifting apart, seeming to teleport here and there as they went.

As we watched them a fourth craft came in from the north, this one was larger, in fact I thought it was a plane at first until it joined the other two and dropped down below the tree line. The fourth craft had the single bright light on the bottom that illuminated the trees and reflected off the river as it dropped in altitude, however it was a longer shape and had a third light on the rear that was a blueish color along with the flashing red and white lights on the front. It lowered until we thought for sure it would land but then it took off at a high rate of speed slightly above the tree tops heading in an easterly direction.

None of the crafts made any sound, the flashing lights varied, and seemed to react to on another. Eventually the first craft just disappeared, the second remained, flashing and slowly moving around the area. Finally my daughter and I broke away from the sight to go and get my husband. We brought him out and the single craft was still there, he did not recognize it either. He is a very skeptical person, I have never seen him unable to explain a light in the sky.

Eventually after nearly an hour of observing these lights, it proceeded to go up and to the north and we lost sight of it. I am 37 years old, a mother of three, and work from home as an artist. My daughter is 17 years old, and a student. My husband is 42 years old and a computer engineer.

Very intense bright white light, lingered for a second or two then vanished.

I was riding my bike in a westerly direction in Village Green, Baldwinsville, NY. The sky was cloudless, a perfect blue sky.

Suddenly, I saw a very intense white light above me. Initially, I assumed it was an airplane with sunlight glinting off of metal. After a few seconds its light dimmed significantly. I could see a cylinder shaped object for a second then it vanished in thin air!

thought it was a cool colored planet. Cyan/green. It wasn't moving. so I took out the telescope. In the scope I saw 2 lights. Then quickly came on a flashing red light in the middle of the 2 cyan ones. It started to move faster when the red light came on and it quickly scooted away.

I noticed a light in the sky tonight. It was still not moving, I noticed it while closing my window I thought it was a star but it looked a little orange for a star, I went outside with my dog to see better and it got bright twice and then faded back to its normal color at times it looked like it was blinking.

Lights seem to be hazy and red orange on outer edges and a yellow flame in the middle; objects seem to flicker and pulse.

Flourecent blue ball of light with a slight zig zag falling in the horizon sky

I was watching T.V. and happened to notice out the window a flourecent blue ball of light falling in the horizon and had a little zig zag to it as it fell. It was falling rapidly so it only lasted a few seconds until it dissapeard from veiw behind across the street house. It was not a shooting star it was something I have never seen before and for it to be as evident as it was from me sitting about 10 feet from the window and an orange street light in the same window is astonishing as bright as it showed up.

Loud diamond shaped craft seen over Baldwinsville, NY.

I woke up to use the bathroom at 4 a.m, I had just laid back down in bed, when I was startled by a loud sound, and flashing lights light up my bedroom, at this same time, my nightlight flickered. I looked out the window and saw a large, roughly diamond shaped craft moving over my neighborhood at a relatively slow speed.

The craft was surrounded a glowing haze that made it slightly blurry, and was illuminated by six or seven white lights, one of which was flashing. The lights appeared to run around the perimeter of the craft, It also had one red light which seemed slightly off center of the middle. The lights were so bright they lit up my bedroom and illuminated the ground and trees, it was like lightening. The craft also made a really loud sound, that reminded me of an airplane and a lawnmower joined together.

We often times see helicopters and planes flying over Baldwinsville, some quite low, so I am very familiar with normal air traffic. I am positive this was not a helicopter or any airplane that I have ever seen.

Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Baldwinsville, NY, USA

Shape: Orb


Three orange orb-like structures were seen for around 3 minutes.

This occurred when everyone in my family was waiting to take a dog walk. My mom was outside and when I went out she said to come over quickly to where she was in the road. She then pointed into the sky towards the west where there was an orange orb-like thing that is probably one of the “fireballs” everyone else has been talking about. The structure was moving east, but more towards the southeast. About 30 seconds later, a second orb appeared and was moving in the exact path of the one in front of it. I then ran inside to get binoculars with my brother and when we came outside the two we had seen previously had vanished. According to my parents who were still outside when we went in, they had just disappeared a little after we had gone inside.

After we were out with our binoculars, about 30 seconds late when we were just looking around, another orb appeared in the west, but this one appeared brighter and also looked as if it either had two sections to it or it was two orbs in tandem with each other. After about 10 seconds, they had joined and there was only one bright orange orb there moving southeast like the others. When I was looking at it through the binoculars I started to notice this black circle starting to engulf it. I kept watching, as was my brother, and we both looked away in amazement when we saw it turn completely black. We thought it was gone like the others, but then my brother noticed a black dot in the sky that was really weird to see. This was just after the sunset, so there was some light in the sky still. We went over to look at it and it was still moving after stopping briefly in the sky. It then moved towards the direct south and then began to move down. We couldn’t see it after that, so we d! on’t know if it landed or if it was just moving out of our view in the sky. The orb looked a lot smaller with the binoculars on rather than the naked eye and the majority of the light looked like it was coming from the top of it. Also, we were talking about it after and we were wondering if the structure cut its power to either go in orbit or maybe even land. My mom was waving to them in the air and she thinks she saw them stop when she waved. However, she says there’s a chance it could be her imagination, but you never know with these! This isn’t our first encounter with these. Two summers while we were camping in the Adirondacks, we saw two very bright orange orbs that were pretty close to each other. This is interesting to me because on the website here it says the reports mostly were after June 2012 and this would’ve been July 2011. Also, my parents saw a whole group of them form some sort of a pattern last summer when they were coming back from a concert. They stopped on the road a got to see the whole “show,” but when they called me and my brother at home they were gone and we didn’t get to see them. I have no idea what these are, but I do look forward to hopefully seeing more in the future!

6 Orange lights in Central New York

Observed a total of 6 orange lights that moved in a synchronized motion. It was dark and unable to see any shape. I was facing west they were moving from right to left. The elevation was at two o’clock in the sky. They were clearly visible and appeared to be fifty times the size of a star. They moved faster than a plane but hear no sound.

Shape: Triangle


Pointed triangle across night sky,no sound or lights.

Star gazing in back yard,saw dark pointed triangle,"arrow head shaped", moving across the field of stars. I never would have seen it if it had not passed right through my field of vision! TOTALLY SILENT! About the size of my fist when at arm's length,this was large enough that I should have heard something. Tracked it for only about 6 seconds before it went beyond the roof of my house, I jumped up and went to end of house but could no longer locate it. It was like a black piece of paper moving across the sky with the shape revealed only by the stars. This is a major metropolitan area,about 9 miles north of syracuse airport. It was traveling from east to west, no lights at all, seemed to be down where small planes are flying,very dangerous if this was some stealthy thing from our air force! OR, it was much much higher and a lot bigger,witch could explain the no sound at all. Star watching for 30 years,first time I don't know what it was.

Four teens saw bright light only a few hundred feet in early evening sky for about 15 minutes, no noise!

In the fall of '72 or '73, myself and 3 other friends were walking (nobody had a car yet) around in the cool early evening seeing what kind of trouble we could get ourselves into (we were 15 or 16 year old high school students). We ended up playing around the northbound and southbound rt. 690 bridges over the Seneca river, just outside of the village of Baldwinsville, N.Y..

I guess that we irritated a motorist or two while fooling around. One of us noticed what he thought was a police helicopter looking for us with a spotlight. We quickly hid under one of the bridges trying to avoid being spotted by the chopper and it's light. We kept looking out around the bridge girders trying to see what the helicopter was doing when someone else noticed that there was NO helicopter sound at all. It was entirely silent although we figured it to be only a few hundred feet above us. I also noticed that there was no traffic anymore although previously it was relatively steady. We started to get scared as the spotlight continued, we thought, looking for us.

As we were trying to figure out what to do next, it was like the light and craft (?) got tired of looking for us and it started to slowly move towards the village, over the river, and shining its light to the left bank, then the right bank, then left, then right, and kept repeating that maneuver 'till it disappeared. As soon as it was out of sight, the traffic started appearing again!

We were all quite scared and bewildered and left the area immediately!

Other than between ourselves, we heard nothing of the incident from anyone else (apparently, no one had reported anything).
