Sitting out in front of campfire facing west with lake in front , saw bright straight line moving slowly in uniform towards the east

Sitting out in front of the camp fire on Lake Abanakee in Indian Lake NY on 8/19/2022. The sky was clear and all stars were visible . At 9:45 pm my wife noticed a white line that was very bright moving slowly across the sky over the lake towards the north west. It did not leave a tail nor did it have a bright head on it.. it was uniform in color . This line was moving across the lake slowly at a uniform pace for appx 15 seconds then disappeared . I have seen all sorts of shooting stars and comets throughout my life but never have seen anything like this Which is why I’m reaching out . The pics attached were what we were able to take of it. It doesn’t look like much but it was much brighter in person

Light appears to notice me, noticing it

Saw a light which moved quite a distance from when first observed above the trees across from Lone Birch and Cemetary area in I.L., Upstate N.Y. The picture and video I have will explain what I witnessed. Almost nightly for a year, UFO activity has been extremely noticeable to many people in town and probably far wider region(s) of noticability I haven't considered. My brother and I watched a light by the beach, went back to lone birch to see an invisible-mirage like triangle hovering with I think 3 lights, and down Abanakee Lake Road thereafter, two squashed sphere ufos with yellowish, rectangular "windows" that had rounded edges. Another time we saw what was like a cloud stretching out mirage like but moving like a ship made of a cloud.. My first encounter about a year ago, I noticed a light flash around me then when I looked to the sky and saw another flash above the clouds; all this after watching low level shooting stars and weird star/light moving and staying still odder snd odder the longer I watched.
Please watch this about what was witnessed, there are several instances at different times I'll add.

Orange glowing ball

I am posting this for my friend who lives just across the way from me. She does not have access to a computer.

We are very rural in the mountains, and late last night her and her two neighbors witnessed a large glowing orange ball in the night sky. I myself saw the same thing, except it was at 1 am I saw this. She said her dogs had been acting strange and howling and barking all night which is unusual they are older dogs and rarely bark. She said it flashed in the sky and pulsated she is very shook up by this. I told her I saw the same thing and not to worry. But she said the night prior she heard strange sounds outside her window all night like humming and then clicking. We were hesitant to do this and do not wish to use names. This is a very small town and we don’t want anyone thinking anything poorly of ((name deleted)). You just don’t have things like this happen here.

Translucent, glistening tube coming out of the clear blue sky.

Summer 2018. My wife and I were sitting at the beach by Lewey Lake in upstate NY, when we saw a strange tube coming from the clear blue sky. The tube was somewhat translucent and glistening and pointing at an angle towards the water. There was movement in the water, like a line was being pulled. But there was no visible line. The whole thing lasted about 15-30 seconds and then disappeared. We never saw a craft, just the tube. Trees obstructed our view of seeing a possible craft.

Possible UFO's crossing night sky.

Got a large round white object using night vision, much larger than a satellite and moving faster than a normal satellite. Satellites are usually dim and slow moving. I checked on the ISS and it was over Africa at that time this morning. What was unusual was as the object crossed the sky another object seemingly in its path but unseen suddenly lit up and moved away from other object as if avoiding it before going dark again. I thought this very strange and worthy of a UFO report. I will include screenshots of the objects. Thanks.

Bluish Orb exits cloud.

I would like to report an orb like object that was on a hd camcorder video while sky fishing.
It was bluish tint in color and was found when reviewing video.

I have taken some screenshots for you to see. I had the camera zoomed to 12x at the time it came out of a cloud.

Thanks.

Orange Orbs in Sky at Night over Indian Lake, Ohio July 4th

Our entire group (8 people) saw at least 6 different orange globes over Indian Lake, Ohio. This occurred every night on our visit.

We were at the lake from July 3rd to July 6th.

The orange orbs would appear and disappear. We saw them move up and down and side to side.

At one point there were 5 orange orbs stacked up on each other and they would disappear and reappear either at the same time or separately.

During the day we never saw airplanes or helicopters flying over the lake. When we saw the orange orbs we never heard any noise.

Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Indian Lake, NY, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams, Changed Colo

Unmoving horizontal formation of about 8 very bright lights in the West from Indian Lake low to the horizon

I was camping for the week with my family and my friends family on Island campsite #17 on Camp Island on Indain Lake, which is a State campround. We were sitting around the fire after dinner. It had been dark for about an hour. My friend called my attention to some lights in the West that he had been watching for perhaps 20 seconds. I turned around and saw perhaps 8 bright lights just above the horizon to the West. They looked like aircraft landing lights on a plane within 5 miles as they were lined up horizontally, but they jsut hung there and I had never heard of an airplane with that many landing lights and they went out after perhaps 10 seconds which is also not typical of landing lights. My friend said that he had watched it for about 20 seconds before he thought to tell me and that the lights had been bright as "welding arc" and had maintained the same formation. We also noticed that there were three columns of diffuse light coming from ground level and pointing straight up, also in the West. Other members of our party witnessed these and thought they looked like Northern Lights except they did not waver at all and seemed to be more like beams coming from the ground like weal search lights. These remained for maybe 10 minutes. Perhaps a minute or two after the formation disappeared, it reappeared in about the same place although in a more red to yellow color and not so much in line. They again stayed put. This lasted maybe 20 seconds before going out. We watched closely after that and soon saw very tiny reddish dots, again in the West, that were zipping about in what seemed to be a random pattern. My guess is about 10 of these. We watched for quite a while and didn't see anything after that. This incident really spooked my wife as she had, without any provocation (such as UFO stories, sightings, or anything at all related) reported to me early Wednesday morning that she had a "dream" that seemed incredibly real that at about 5AM she heard a low pulsing sound above the tent and subsequent to that felt some kind of "beam" pass through her body. It scared her to death and she tried to call out to me but could not move or make a noise. She reported that all she remembers after that is waking and remembering the experience and she was VERY frightened. Nobody else saw or heard anything and we all joked with her about it and asked if the spacemen "did anything sexual to her" (ala the movie "Independence Day"). In retrospect the coincidence gave us pause. Fueling at the boat dock Thursday morning, my friend asked the kid pumping gas if anyone saw anything strange in the sky the prior night. He siad that he was in the Village of Indian Lake and saw the same formation to the West over the golf course. On Sunday, I mentioned the incident to my uncle who lives in Indian Lake and he said that the same thing was seen in the West by his friends that lived on the lake. He's going to talk with them and get more detail to send to me. I don't have any idea what the lights were, but Rome Air Force base does manuevers in the area of the Lake and I know we have a big year for solar activity. I be pleased to hear from others who witnessed this incident. P.S. This report form presupposes sighting of an "object". We only saw lights.
