The object was visible and showed extremely unusual flight patterns.

On January 25th, 2021, I hit the road from Newburgh, NY to Fishkill, NY to pick up my wife. She gets out of work at 11:45 PM. I picked her up and we got back on the road. I was driving the vehicle and she was sitting next to me. We have a Kia SUV. I was driving on the right lane about 50 miles per hour speed. This highway is known as Interstate 84 west. Two lanes going east and two lanes going west. Around 11:55 pm, an object suddenly passed from the right front corner of our vehicle to the left front corner with a tremendous speed. The object looked like tube-shaped, and fluorescent in color. It passed with a tremendous speed and left behind a flutter. It looked like this flutter was the replaced atmosphere that was visible through our headlights. We passed through this flutter. Next, my wife said what was that? She said, “was that a deer?” I said I have never seen a tube-shaped, fluorescent white deer that travels with the speed of light. She said it could! be a bird. I repeated myself and said it was not an animal, plant, or human. My wife and I communicated perfectly up until that point. Next, I looked at my left mirror and what I saw shocked me. There was an object about the size of a dumpster truck if not any bigger, gold like beige in color, disc shaped with a huge majestic platform in the middle was flying at the left rear corner of our vehicle. The object positioned itself over the left lane and was travelling (flying) in the same direction with us. I said " I see it. There is an object behind us. Oh my God! What is this? This cannot be a bird. It is too big and not flapping wings. " Later my wife said she never heard me saying this. I clearly remember making this statement out loud. The object got closer and it was almost parallel to the rear seats. So, I said " It is getting so close! Far too close!" I said this last statement out loud in panic and shock. My wife later said that I have never said ! that. Apparently, my wife and I were disconnected for some rea! son. In those seconds, I have the following thoughts in my mind: " I have been put into this situation against my will. Now, I have to deal with it, and manage the situation. I should not do anything wrong. I should pretend nothing is happening." Next, my thoughts were to pull over to the side of the road and stop. However, my instincts then said not to because the object might stop in front of us and we might end up evacuating our vehicle, and what if they did the same? At this moment, I felt everything like very slow motion. I really could not tell if our tires were on the road and if I was really driving our vehicle. I felt some controlling power was in charge of our vehicle. I wonder if time was really ticking at that point. I felt some kind of calm, peace, and tranquility that were reinforced in me. All I saw from the left mirror was the surface of the object. Therefore, the object totally blocked my left mirror view. The surface of the object was gold (beige) in colo! r, and it looked porous. After these agonizing moments, the object began to distance itself from our vehicle. The object had done this very aesthetically. While the distance between us and the object was increasing gradually, the object was increasing its altitude gradually as well. Finally, there was a rightward curve on the road, and I checked where the object was from my left mirror. In this final moment, it was over the medium at the left of the left lane. It looked like it stopped there in midair. This was the last time I saw the object. I said " the object disappeared" out loud. My wife later said that she did not hear it either. We travelled a little bit and I said to my wife " call police". She was able to communicate with me at this point. She later said that after the conversation about deer, it was the only statement I made. Of course, this was not true. Because I made numerous statements after I spotted the object behind us till it disappeare! d. In this time frame, my wife claims that I did not say anyth! ing out loud, and she was looking straight ahead. Anyway, my wife said why are we calling the police. She said let it go. I said we cannot let it go. Because there were so many other vehicles on the road and someone might get hurt or even worse. I said we do our share to inform police. Since my wife forgot her phone at home that day (which is very unusual), she tried to use my phone. Next, she said she cannot call because there are no icons on my cell phone, not even a single one. I asked her if she could text message someone, but she said no way. I said forget it. There were only a couple of miles until we got home. Finally, we got home, and I parked our vehicle. After I stopped the engine, I asked my wife if she may try to call the police again. This time all the icons were there. She called Orange County police department. They transferred her to Dutchess , and Dutchess transferred her to NY State police. Finally, we informed NY state police about what happened that night. After ! that I did not want to get out of our vehicle of my fear that what if something was beneath the vehicle. After I said this comment to my wife, she said don't worry. There cannot be anything under the vehicle. Next, she opened the door and stepped out. It was my turn to open the door slowly and step out gently. Next day, my wife googled and found National UFO Research Center. She called them and put the phone on speaker. This gentleman introduced himself, his phone number, and address. He wanted us to write this incident separately including any drawings and mail it to them.

The object was able to go in one direction and then the opposite. It was easily changing its altitude and speed. The object managed to come to a full stop in midair over the medium at the left of the left lane. I did not have a chance to see the bottom of it. I did not see any lights either. Apparently, my wife and I were disconnected within the time frame between the conversation about the deer (we both remember) and the conversation about calling the law enforcement (again we both remember). However, anything said between these two time frames were somehow not heard. The disconnection between me and my wife coincides with the time frame the object positioned itself to our left till the object disappeared. One last observation: I did drive there today. I recorded where we got chased. I noticed that the object chased us in some very interesting part of the highway. This part of the highway towards west (From Fishkill to Newburgh) is covered by long and high hills from both s! ides. It is like a corridor with walls at both sides. Therefore, east and west bound vehicles cannot see each other in this part of the highway. We did not see any vehicles ahead of us in this strip that night. Likewise, we did not see any vehicles behind us in the strip that night either. Apparently, we were the only vehicle passing through this part of the highway. An excellent place to hunt. The object disappeared almost where the strip ends. Afterwards, we travelled a couple of minutes where east and west bound vehicles were able to see each other. At this point a semi-truck passed us. That was the first vehicle passing us (I was very nervous when that truck was passing us). I wonder why this object crossed from right to left and then chased us over the left lane? Why it did not stay in right and chase us at the right-hand side? My wife and I will be going for a cat scan. We could not find anyone to check the radiation level of our vehicle yet.

CHANGING COLOR CIRCULAR UFO - Dutchess County

Unlike Venus who shines the brightest in our Eastern sky, tonight my wife and I witnessed, photographed and videoed a circular object in the western sky, it was changing colors rapidly and quiet beautiful. I thought the first 20mins of observing/shooting that it wasn’t moving but then after going inside then back out an hour later I observed it moved East but maintained same height in sky. Also side note, 2 planes traveling in the direction of the object flew quite low.

Disc Shape Hovering,

I was driving on 52 headed East/Northeast and saw eight white lights in a row hovering in the sky. at first I thought it was an airplane but it wasn’t moving. It was completely stationary. As I drove closer I could start to make out the shape of the craft as a on long spherical disc shape. I thought maybe it was a large helicopter the way is hovered but the size was much too big and it was flying too high to be a helicopter. As I started to stare at it longer, I saw what looked like an object fall from the bottom of it. I panicked because I thought it might hit the ground or injure someone but then it appeared to be just a falling star in the sky. In the sheer seconds it took for that to process in my brain, I blinked and the craft was completely gone.

Large disk or saucer-shaped object with yellow and red blinking lights, rotating around its perimeter

Object seen was a very large disk or saucer shaped object with yellow and red lights blinking and appearing to rotate around perimeter. It was spotted while driving eastbound on I-84, just past Fishkill (a bit beyond the prison, I think). Object appeared to be slowly moving toward us, then at one point it stopped and hovered. Hard to tell as we were in a car driving, but no unusual sound was noticed when we opened the window to get a better look at it. I was dropping a friend off at the Southeast train station; on the way back, I saw it again, but it appeared to vanish quickly.

It hovered for 15-20 seconds and interfered with my phone as I tried to take a video.

The UFO took off at high speeds, moving north. It was SILENT.

Orange lights moving SW to NE in separate groups of one to three, over a 10 minute period.

Observed orange lights, moving across the sky from SW to NE and fading behind clouds. Sighting started approx. 10:30 PM. Over a period of 10 minutes, observed approximately 12 orange lights at different times, in groups of 2 or 3. In one case, two objects moved transverse to their primary direction of travel, moving closer together, then moving apart again. All single or groups of lights moved in the same general direction.

Given the distance moved across the sky in the short time period, these were not paper lanterns or similar objects. These were bright orange lights, but too far away to note any shape.

Orange glowing object stationary in sky over Beacon, Newburgh, NY.

Spotted a reddish orange light Due West over Newburgh NY area as I was driving down my street. Somewhat stationary. Glowed with slight pulse.

When I jumped out of my truck as I parked in my driveway I had to run down the street to see between the trees. It was quite high up. I had seen it from maybe 2 plus minutes then the red glow faded from a round shape, to a triangle shape, with 3 sections like looking at an airplane prop. To a dull orange then went out. If I had to draw a comparison the light looked like a flare, a highway flare glow. Maybe it was a balloon with a flare attached, of a parachute flare but I never seen one this high in the sky as I am familiar with flares. Witnessed by my friend in the truck. I know aircraft, I know meteors, this was something odd. No time to take a photo.

Round burning object moving across Fishkill, 8/2/14,

I was heading north on route 9, and I had stopped at the light on route 9 and route 52.

I watched a moving round burning object moving slowly over Fishkill heading in a northern direction. I saw it outside my drivers window.

This lasted about 1 minute and then just disappeared. It definitely wasn't a plane or helicopter, because it was too low for a plane and didn't move like a helicopter.

I also listened for any sounds of a plane or helicopter and I didn't hear neither.

I took a picture and video but it didn't come out too well on my camera phone.

Orange sphere circles new york night sky

A friend and I had gone star gazing. I noticed an orange light through the trees. It was brighter and larger than a star and seemed to hover just below the tree line.

I thought it was a street light but then it started to slowly rise into the sky. It was barely moving at first and then seemed to pick up speed and move at the speed of a plane. However, it moved diagonally upwards and was at a higher altitude than we thought possible for a plane. Also, there were airplanes out and they were much lower and blinked whereas this object did not blink but seemed to have multiple lights making up a far larger mass.

As the object moved overhead we tried to get a better view but we couldn't see through a nearby tree. We thought we had lost it, but then we saw a similar, perhaps the same object, moving back in the direction from which it came. The first object moved across the right side of the sky, whereas the second came from the left, further supporting the idea that it was perhaps the same object doubling back. As it got closer to the treelike from which it first appeared it didn't drop down behind the trees but disappeared just above them. We're still not sure what it was but we know it wasn't a plane.

Large circular object stationary with very large white lights around it, more lights underneath & above the circular lights.

I was driving on the Taconic State Parkway North at approx. 11:20pm. I was in an elevated area where the road winds between hills, and I saw what I thought was a low flying plane. There's an airport in the area and we see the low flying planes landing all the time. When I rounded the curve in the road, the object was stationary up on top of the hill with very large white lights in a circle around the object. Every other light would dim as the others would brighten. There were lights underneath the object, and a few above the circle of blinking lights. It was about the size of 3 houses. I realized this was not an airplane being stationary and circular. I was alone, and too frightened to stop, and it was too close for comfort. I sped away. Returned the next day for an explanation - Just trees up on the hill.

We heard a odd sound and then saw a bright UFO.

My brother and I were out on our porch when we heard a low droning. I thought it was a plane so, I thought nothing of it.

About 5 minutes later, I realized that the droning was still there and loud as ever. I finally said to my brother, "What is that sound?"

My brother said, "a plane stupid!"

"No," I replied, it started 5 minutes ago."

The odd sound was louder than a plane and seemed to be right above us now. Also, a plane has different tones and this sound was just a constant, single tone.

I was shocked when the sound lasted about 40 minutes.

Then suddenly it stopped. Not fading but a random stop.

Next, we saw flash of bright light, and a car alarm about a mile away went off.

The light went in the south direction unbelievably fast and disappeared on the horizon.

As we went inside we were baffled. Plus, my brother said just as we entered our home, before he noticed the light, he felt dizzy and the sensation he was being lifted off the ground.

Location: Fishkill, NY, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Black diamond-shaped object w/three bright white lights crossed I-84 and headed west paralleling highway towards Hudson River.

Heading west on I-84, approaching exit 13 (Fishkill, NY), as the highway crests a ridge and drops into a valley there is a panoramic view of the sky. As usual, I scanned the sky for lights, and saw the usual assortment of recognizable aircraft lights. However, at my 1:00 position (approx. NW), I saw a group of three very white bright lights in a straight line, close enough to each other that my initial reaction was that they couldn't be separate aircraft. They were also much lower than aircraft in the area typically fly. As I continued west, I tried to gauge the object's motion relative to mine. While I initially thought the object was travelling east, opposite me, it began a banking manouver which carried it perpendicularly across the highway directly in front of me, approximately 1/4 mile away, and only a couple of hundred feet up at most. Though it was night, there was more than enough ambient lighting from the surrounding area, so as the object crossed my path while banked to it's right side I could see it's bottom, which was a black diamond shape, with three bright white lights across it. There were no discernable wings - it was as though I was looking at a large, black kite. Two of the lights were at opposite points of the diamond, with the third in the middle. Since the object was banked over, the three lights were in a vertical line. The object continued it's turn, then levelled out at treetop height and continued westbound towards the Hudson River, paralleling the highway but on the other side from me. My exit came up and I pulled off, then watched until the object left my field of view. When I first observed the craft, I called my girlfriend at home (appox. 2 miles from my position) intending to ask her to go outside and look for the object. When she answered I didn't have a chance to ask, as right away she started telling me that she was watching an object from the house. We agreed that it was the same craft, and she was able to view it for a minute or two after it left my view. She had initially noticed it through the living room window, due to it's bright, unusually configured lights and low altitude. Though I've always believed that our planet is (and has been throughout history) visited by extraterrestrials, I've never witnessed anything like this myself. This area of the Hudson Valley is known for many sightings, particularly during the early 1980's. Having spent five years in the Air Force with a keen interest and familiarity with most types of aircraft, I know that what I saw was not a conventional aircraft. This was not an instance of ambigous/anomalous lights in the sky. I saw a distinct shape to the object. Furthermore, it's flight characteristics were unusual. Not in the sense of speed or extreme manouverability, but more regarding it's flight path. Even if, for arguements sake, it was a military aircraft of unconventional design (Stewart AFB is nearby), I can't understand why it would fly so low as it crossed over a heavily travelled interstate highway, then descend to treetop level and parallel the road... As soon as I got home I continued to search the sky for another glimpse, and turned on the scanners, all in vain. The morning paper didn't carry any stories about it, but hopefully others saw it and will report their sighting(s). Tonight I plan to call the tower at Stewart and ask if they received any reports or tracked anything themselves.
