2 objects over jones beach NY, sent Red beam then blue beam on our car.

While taking a drive, me and my girlfriend and her friend, all in our 30's saw 2 shapes apear in the sky coming in off the ocean. at first I thought it was a plane but it was moving way to quick and also was much larger then any plane out there. As it came closer we all where in shock and to this moment we still are, and I jamed on the brakes and watched it. It landed on the beach just past the dunes. with an amazing rainbow effect going around underneath the craft. We stayed in the car with the lights off to see what would happen. As we where staring at the objects, the larger one sent something like a red beam on our car. We all screamed and I tried to start the car which would not start. We then tried to open the doors, which would not open. We all where very upset and all of the sudden the lights on us changed to blue. I felt calming feeling coming over me and heard someone telling me that nothing just happend and that I should leave and never come back. after that, I felt the car drop and we all where bounce around the car. all of us felt the same way that we should get the hell out of there. We have been together for the last few days just talking about this and this is our first attempt to let anyone know about it. We are very scared about saying this and want to keep our identaty from anyone as we are all known most of the people and this might make people think we are crazy



Response from Witness: Hi, I just saw my posting that you posted. Just one thing that you added to the bottom of it. It is not a very crowded area of New York City. It is at Jones Beach on Ocean Parkway, It is not crowded at night as it is just a road that goes along the ocean with no houses or buildings anywhere just road and ocean.

NUFORC Note:

We have requested reports from the other two witnesses, and illustrations from all of them. No other reports from this crowded area of New York City. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 168353
Occurred: 1992-06-01 23:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2022-05-16 14:30 Pacific
Duration: 5 Minutes
No of observers: 5

Location: Near Jones Beach, NY, NY, USA
Location details: Approximately 5 NM nearly due South of Jones Inlet. South Shore Long Island, NY

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Stationary single bright red light reported as a flare, estimated alt 1k to 5k feet. Subsequent extreme acceleration and speed.

I was the boat coxswain for a U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue duty crew on shift at the U.S. Coast Guard Station Jones Beach. Around 2300, a report was received from a civilian pleasure boat captain of a flare South of Jones Inlet. His approximate location was 5 miles nearly due South of the inlet. We got underway in our 41' UTB rescue boat. Visibility was excellent, greater than 10 miles. We didn't have NVGs so cloud cover couldn't be well determined, but were not a factor in this observation. I do not recall the phase of the moon on this night. As we were approaching his position, from approximately 3 miles out, we could see the light he was reporting. It was a single red light, brighter than a normal aircraft position light. Its color was not that of a flare. Flares have a distinctive red color and pulse irregularly. This light was the same color red as a port position light and steady. In addition, it was stationary in the sky. It's perceived size and brightness did not change. Since we were still approaching it's position from approximately 3 miles out, its relative bearing was changing. Based on this, I estimate it was at least 1000 feet in altitude, but perhaps as high as 5000 feet. As we approached the reporting vessel, we pulled alongside and spoke with the captain. The civilian vessel had two people on board including the captain and our Coast Guard vessel had a crew of 3. Approximately 30 to 45 seconds after we pulled alongside the reporting vessel, the light exited to the East at an extremely high speed.

To me, this is the interesting part. There was no discernable acceleration curve from stationary to its max velocity. One second it was stationary in the sky, the next instant it was like a bullet shot out of a gun heading rapidly East. The light was out of site to the East in about 1 second. It's impossible to say if the light extinguished as it was exiting or if it simply got too far away to see. However, it appeared to remain lit far out to the East before the light was no longer visible.

We spoke with the Captain for a few minutes more and reported the sighting to the base station. The civilian captain reported via radio to the Coast Guard station that the light shot off to the West, but I corrected him and said it was to the East. He acknowledged the correction.
