Flashing lights coming from a heavily wooded area night of aurora borealis

2 and 3 flashing lights picked up from a heavily wooded area not seen with eye but no light source in the area for a lens issue. I waited and filmed it again couple minutes later. Lasted about 5 minutes total.

I was filming the northern lights at this time and the flashing lights came from a wooded area roughly 5 to 15 feet above the ground.

Estimated Speed: Unknown as distance/size aren't known. Fast though
Characteristics: Lights on object

White light moving erratically

I spend a lot of time watching the sky so I'm familiar with planets, stars, ISS, starlink, planes, etc and how each of these look and move.
I glanced in the sky at about 11:30 on a clear night and happened to see a light moving from W to E, abruptly change due NNW, and just as abruptly head back NE before I lost sight behind a cloud. There is 0% chance it was a plane as the movements were too precise and the distance travelled at such a speed was FAR. This sighting only lasted a few seconds and I firmly believe it was not a trick of light.

This craft was hovering, weaving and spinning.

At 2:43 am I let my dog out and thought it was a plane at first. But it started moving in an odd pattern. I have never seen any craft with this pattern. It was a bright white light that may have also shined a red light as well.

Hilton NY 3 spheres

I was heading North into the village of Hilton and from just past Burritt Rd.(1/2 mile from village) I could see above the village 3 spherical objects. All looked to be the same size. One was higher than the other two and had a reddish hue. The two below were situated offset from one another and we’re a very bright white. As I turned onto my road a top the hill, the highest reddish sphere moved directly up and to the west very rapidly(Lost visual). Then I began to take video via camera-phone and the remaining two objects cruised directly over me (heading south) to the point where I could see the bottom exterior. No defined shape, looked almost wavy. Absolutely no sound. (Camera footage too dark to see, may attempt edit. 8:35 pm

Bright moving lights above Southern Shore Of Lake Ontario, 12:45 am 5/18/14

5 miles South of Lake Ontario...I was driving North and saw a very bright yellowish light, I thought it was a plane, but it would have been either very large, or very close. As I was driving North, it kept getting lower and lower and I'm thinking, it's going to either land or crash. As I turned and started heading East, I saw another one...as I was driving about 55, It appeared to be moving to the east also, but that could have been an optical illusion as it was so large. There appeared to be smoke trails following it. I arrived at my destination and walked around the side of the building where another customer approached me and asked if I was ok...I pointed to the sky.

We could see 2 of the very large bright lights, and as we watched the surrounding sky was turning different shades of pale red. After I came out of the store and started heading North again, I noticed a group of people in a parking lot watching one and taking pictures. I stopped and asked if we were getting invaded and they were like...maybe...I drove home heading West and saw 2 of them...one got lower and lower and finally went out, but the other appeared to be traveling West.

I arrived home and looked North and could one through the trees. I ran inside for my camera, but when I got back it was gone. Walked to the end of the road and the other was gone too.

I saw this at 12:45 am - 1:10 am.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Blue headlights in the sky

As I was leaving my friend's house at 1:30am I observed an unusual phenomenon. About three miles away from where I was, on his porch, there was a bright (almost as if it was a headlight) blue sphere in the sky. It was probably two football field lengths distance away from the top of the houses. It was foggy out at that time so I could not make out specific details of the "object" but the fog had a blue haze from the sphere. I'm not speculating whether or not it came from Mars, but it was a very odd event to witness. After about one minute the sphere immediately disappeared and the blue haze with it, although the fog remained. It left me feeling a little nutty because the object was so bright and had form to it and then it was like you blinked and nothing was ever there.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 38287
Occurred: 2004-07-10 12:05 Local
Reported: 2004-07-24 08:34 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Hilton, NY, USA

Shape: Circle


Saw object in sky moving erratically.

Sighting Date: Saturday, July 10, 2004 Time: Approximately 12:05 PM Sky Condition: Had been totally cloud covered early but was clearing west to east.

By noon only a few small widely scattered clouds to west and overhead, still cloud covered to east.

I had been working in the garden and decided to go into the house for a drink of water. The garden is about 150 feet east of the house. As I walked I looked up at the sky above the roofline of house. There was an object making an erratic motion, almost like a piece of paper drifting on a wind. As I watched and it came closer I could see it was making small circles and I thought it was a turkey buzzard riding a thermal. I live in western New York near the shore of Lake Ontario and this is a common sight on warm, sunny days.

My wife was with me and I commented to her that it looked awfully high. At about this time the object disappeared behind a small cirrus cloud. I then knew it was not a buzzard and ran into the house a got binoculars. By the time I got back outside the object was directly above me.

My initial thought looking at it with the glasses was that it was a bald eagle because the color was right and had what appeared to be a white head. After watching it make a few circles I could see that it was a circular craft and when it banked with top facing sun there was a bright metalic shine like stainless steel. It traveled slowly across the sky from west to east continualy making circles.

After five minutes it was east at about forty degrees to horizon and approaching solid cloud cover.

I wondered if it was still visible without the binoculars and attemped to locate it without them.

Just as I spotted it, it suddenly changed direction, looping north over the lake and headed west at blazing speed. I said to my wife "look at that sucker go" and just that quick it was gone. Went in house and checked time, 12:10 PM.

Object's shape: Circular with portion missing, like a clock face with portion between 5 and 7 cut away. This missing section extended to center of craft and always faced to the outside of the loops it was flying. It looped counterclockwise.

Object's size: Hard to determine not knowing its altitude. I checked local weather information on the internet and clould cover in region was listed at 20,000 feet. It was above the clouds. As stated before I thought it was a turkey buzzard soaring.

Color: Brownish to light black on bottom. Top portion visible only when banked facing sun was very shiny, like polished stainless steel. At certain points in the loop it shone like a mirror reflecting sunshine.

My conclusion: I think this craft was purposely drawing attention to it by its pecuilar motion. If it had been traveling in straight flight I would not have noticed it. Anyone looking to the west as it approached could not have missed seeing it.
