Two witnesses saw a very large drone with a green and red light which responded to us parking by speeding out of view

I was driving my wife home from work after picking her up. We were driving near the Minisink Battleground when I noticed a stationary object with a red and green light in the sky. I pointed it out to my wife who saw the same thing. As we were driving the object would occasionally stop hovering and slowly go towards the southeast (in the direction of Route 97). As we kept driving up the road towards Yulan I realized the light was actually a drone that was maybe less than 500 feet from the ground. I’m terrible with estimating altitudes but I was able to see multiple arms, like sticks coming out of a very dark object. Picture a metallic octopus of all right angles with a green light on one side and a red one on the other. Both lights were never blinking and were equal in size. I pulled my car over and told my wife it’s a drone due to its proximity to the ground and how it matched the drone video I saw online of one flying over LaGuardia airport. I was able to see the shady outlines of the arms and how it seemed to come off a square or cylindrical object with maybe a cluster of instruments on top. Upon parking my car and pointing to it in the sky it literally moved closer to us. At first it was about 1000 feet from the road over the woods. Now it came to around 500 feet from us and maintained the same altitude. I took my phone out of my cars cup holder and was going to record a video but my iPhone really isn’t good capturing lights. They come out blurry. As soon as I pressed the side button on my phone they drone began moving towards the southeast. It went around 30-40 mph. Definitely had to see us because it went over the trees and seemed controlled by a person. We sat there for a minute excitedly speaking about it then continued on home. No sounds from it were heard since we had our car heat on and the windows up.

Very bright, very clear boomerang sighting in New York.

My friend and I were staying at a friend's cabin on a 60 acre property set off 1/2 mile into the woods. The night was very clear, so clear we could see the Milky Way and the small satellites that circle the earth. We turned off all of the lights in the cabin and stood out in a field to take long exposure photographs of the sky. We rarely get to do this kind of activity, because we live in the city. At some point, as my friend was leaning down to setup another shot and I was staring up at the night sky amazed by the amount of stars that could be seen with the naked eye, the UFO appeared above us. It was shaped like a boomerang and twirled quickly, silently across the sky. It was huge. From my perspective, I would say it appeared to be about 5 feet wide, but I sensed it was very high in the sky and could only imagine the true size to be much, much larger. And the shape was very sharp, I knew immediately it was made by an intelligent being. It glowed green, like the color of a glow stick, and it seemed that there were markings on the boomerang: a circle near the terminus of each "wing" and three thin lines on each side where the "wings" met at the center. The craft appeared, spun across the sky from east to west, and then disappeared in a second/second and 1/2; however, I saw so much detail because I was already staring at the sky when the craft appeared. My friend also saw the craft, but only the brightness of it, since she was looking up through her camera. Her glimpse was of the UFO's brightness and the last instant of it's appearance.
