Was taking photos of my daughter and didn’t catch it until reviewing my photos. Same location as previous UFO sightings

I was taking photos of my daughter with my dog that night. I didn’t notice the red orb at the time, over the same location I captured white cylinder UFO’s and multiple black small triangle UFO’s 3 days prior headed towards the moon. First photo it was there, second photo it was gone. I made a separate report dated 10/12/24 for the other incident. I was visiting my son on vacation so I’m unsure if they’ve been back since.

Strange behaving right and white light observed in sky over catskill

I currently spend much time at my parent's summer house near a local liberal arts college I attend, and take time to stargaze outside every few hours. Tonight I observed starting about three hours ago a light that varied between red and white doing what appeared to be moving erratically in the southwestern quarter of the sky. At first sighting I was not sure of its movement and suspected based on its color that the object might be the planet mars, as I was unsure of its exact coordinates tonight. At second sighting it had moved slightly more to the south and I figured it was definitely a planet, though I still observed both what seemed to be an up and down bobbing motion and a change between red and white lights that seemed to imply a rotational motion.

My third sighting I observed the object for the longest period of time, since it had now gone far to the northwestern quarter of the sky and both the bobbing and the phasing of colors was far more apparent. I could only see the lights still and with little other info, I could not ascertain the size or shape or distance of the object. Eventually, after bobbing like what seemed to be lower and closer, it stayed white and became a more stable and less bright point of light.




NUFORC Note:

We suspect a sighting of a celestial body. PD

Mom and daughter see traiangular craft once agian over catskill new york.

My mom and i have seen this craft before on 9/13/05 and it was posted on this site as "Mom and Daughter see triangular craft with bright white lights in New york",

this time we only caught the tail end of the craft with its four bright white lights on the back end and a red blinking light in the front. The first time we saw this we went out the next nite to make sure that it wasn't a plane and it did not show up, it hasn't shown up untill tonight.

It was going in the same direction the first time we saw it from northeast to southwest. It is strange that it has only made appearences on tuesday and thursday not anywhere in between.

we went back out about thirty minutes later to see it would come back but no such luck.




NUFORC Note:

One of two similar reports from the same witness in Catskill, NY. We do not know what the witnesses observed, but it probably was not a UFO, we suspect. Possible aircraft, or perhaps a helicopter, we suspect. Just a guess, however. PD

Mom and Daughter see triangular craft with bright white lights in New york.

My mother and I both saw what looked like a triangular craft as it flew overhead of us.

It had 3 bright white lights on the bottom as it passed with a red blinking lighting the front as if it were a radar.

As it passed and we saw the back end. there were now four bright white lights and the red blinking light in the front.

It moved in a northeast to southwest fashion and as it entered the bright light of the moon it dissapered.

The incident only last about 2 minutes. And was very very silent.

Tirangular-shaped object hovered over New York State Thruway on September 27

I was driving home from a friend's house on the night of Saturday, September 27,2003. I took the N.Y.State Thruway home. I was traveling alone. Somewhere between the Catskill and Coxsackie exits I saw a triangular-shaped object approaching from the north-west. It moved very slowly and hovered over the lane I was in. It had 3 red lights along it's points that did not flash. As it moved over my car I looked up through my windshield and saw the body of the craft. It was a matte gray. My windows were closed so I could not discern if there was sound or not.

A mile or two before this occured, I noticed a police car along along the left side of the Thruway. All traffic slowed down because of this. Once this object appeared, all cars accelerated to speeds of 80-85mph. I know others saw this and I want to find out if anyone else has reported a sighting on this night.

I am a public school teacher in New York.

Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Catskill, NY, USA

Shape: Formation


On my way across the rip van winkle bridge with my mother as a passenger we stopped my truck when we saw multiple dark gray football shape craft at least 50 feet or so over our stopped truck.

Moving about at a drift speed from south to north.

My truck stopped and off we heard no sound coming from them. About 8 craft in a structured formation passed ahead of us about 45 degree angle.

Very strange to the point of hair standing up on your neck and head.

It may have been 35 years ago, but it could have been yesterday.




NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
