Black cube in daylight

Black cube, perhaps 10ft per side about 200 ft high ( based on drone experience) and moving perhaps 15-20 mph.

It had just begun to rain and I was walking back to my house from the backyard when I looked up and saw a perfect, black, cube about 200 ft high moving south. Within 3-5 seconds view was obstructed by pine trees, I ran uphill to see over them, but the object was gone. No noise at all. There was no breeze at ground level, and did not appear to be a breeze at treetop level either. So in my mind that eliminates the possibility that it was a balloon ( as well as it t being a perfect cube). I do t fly a drone in rain, so I don’t think anyone else would either.

2 hovering bright red lights, suddenly more lights illuminated in two triangle shapes

Exiting route 84 westbound at exit 17, I came to a stop at the end of the ramp and looking right (north)I saw two bright red lights, about 10 o'clock high, that I first assumed were planes. It being unusual to see planes traveling that close together ( as the brightness and size of both lights were identical) I watched a moment longer and noticed that they were stationary. They were definitely hovering. I naturally assumed they were helicopters, though the red lights were unusual compared to other helicopters I've seen at night.

With that thought I pulled slowly onto a side street where I could watch the lights, and confirmed that they were not moving.

At that point, three bright white lights in a triangular formation replaced one of the red lights. in other words, the red light went out as the other lights came on. The triangle and the other red light began moving together, quite as if they were connected, yet at this time they were still a short distance apart from each other. The remaining red light went out and was replaced by the same pattern and brightness white lights as the first object. They then moved together, very, very close, so that if you drew two triangles of three dots each, the two would "share" the center dot.

They started to move west, at first quickly, then they paused in place for a few seconds, then extremely quickly they went west and soon were lost from view. They appeared to be rising in altitude as they moved, but despite this they were lost from view due to my position in a valley of sorts between hills. During this sighting I lowered my car windows to hear any jet engine sounds, but I heard none. I did notice other aircraft, much higher, and much more typical of commercial planes.

I've seen military fighter jets travel in that close a formation, but never outside of an air show, and not at night. If these were military, they have to be of the variety that can hover, and then speed off. Certainly military planes exist that can do so, but I think those are rare enough that the sighting deserved to be reported here.

Flyimg V seen over whaley lake/pawling.no ultra lites this time

Walking thru down sanita rd.to route 292 that leads to Whaley lake, my two friends and I spotted 8 maybe 9 lights in a V-formation travelling from north to south farely slow but a stedy pace.this lasted about 20 mins.

the following week,we were told that it was just a bunch of ultra lite pilots that were placed into police custody,at that same time I spoted the same formation flying in a diferant direction.

Both times helicopters tried to follow.

Football Field Sized Chevron with bright white lights on front, moving slowly with absolutely no sound

I was on the phone talking to my sister. I looked up at through my clearstory windows. I saw a row of5 bright lights in a v shape coming very slowly over my house. I ran out to my back deck and watched the lights approach. As the lights got closer, I could see the bottom of the craft they were attached to. It seemed to be traveling at a very slow speed and made absolutely no sound. It blocked out the stars as it passed overhead. It was extremely large, the size of a football field and it was chevron-shaped. It looked like a gigantic stealth bomber. I could tell from the lights on the front, that the bottom looked to be a gunmetal gray. It passed through the woods behind my house and headed east. After about 5 minutes, a friend who lived over in that direction called me to tell me her husband was outside looking at the same exact thing. I know it was initially stated that this was a hoax perpetrated by ultralights. This was NOT a formation of ultralights. It was a massive solid object that, as I stated, blocked out the stars as it went overhead. I have been wanting to report this story for years but didn't know where to do it. I know several people have reported seeing a similiar object in the lower Hudson Valley area and after a little research, I have discovered it was even given the name "The Westchester Wing".

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

walking north on Rt 292 in Whaley lake/Holmes area. Sky was clear. Stars were out.I saw a group of 5 maybe 6 white lights,flying in a v pattern,from north to south. They made absolutely no sound. Altitude was maybe 2,000ft. I held up my hands next too each other and they barely covered them up.we did not have any cameras with us,and cell phones were something back then that were still wired to high priced cars.so we didn't have those either. I was with someone, but she was just a visitor to the area for the summer and don't know any contact info.

Location: Holmes/Whaley Lake, NY, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

Looking up towards the north,we saw a V shaped formation of lights. Maybe it was just one craft with a line of 8 to 11 lights in the shape of a V. It was moving fairly slow and headed south. It made no sound but we did feel a cool breeze as it traveled by. We estimate it was about 500 ft in altitude, and maybe 100ft from wingtip to wingtip. We did not loose any time.but neither of our watches ever worked right again.

Location: Holmes, PA, USA

Shape: Sphere


It was brown, covered in craters. Like a small moon. It was spinning like a bowling ball between 200 to 300 feet from the ground. It was moving to slow to be a meteor. Maybe 25 to 30 mph. It was as big as a house. The night sky was clear. It was no more than 1000 ft from us. It was moving in a straight line across the sky. It was my cousin's birthday party so it was in October late '70's.
