Multiple flashing lights in sky.

At approximately 3:30 a.m. observed what was initially thought to be a helicopter to the south about two hands' widths above the horizon until I noticed that one of the flashing lights was blue. It was the brightest non-moon object in the sky. The sky was clear with no clouds at any altitude. Observed with binoculars but was unable to tell shape of object.

I asked my fiance what colors she was observing and confirmed red, yellow, green, white and blue. Object remained stationary for 45 minutes cycling colors randomly. The lights at times seemed directional at times sphere-like at times rectangular/cigar-shaped or a cross as its aspect changed. It was too distant to see a superstructure with any clarity even with 8 power binoculars.

Observed two aircraft (red/white navigation lights at much less intensity than the object). One traveled south at a relatively high rate of speed towards the object and then banked right and traveled quickly out of view to the west.

Another traveled north along the horizon at relatively high rate of speed to the east of the object about ten minutes later. Total time of observing the aircraft was approximately one minute per observation.

Given time of night and nature of flight patterns I speculate that they were Air National Guard from Burlington, VT. I attempted to take a video but the camera-phone was less than ideal, it is shaky and I upset a sleeping bird.

Stopped viewing for about ten-15 minutes at the 45 minute mark approximately. Returned to the window and saw that the original light had moved west and was partially obscured by a tree limb. The observed several lights, originally thought to be stars but noticed they flickered. Binoculars showed the same light emission patterns.

There were 5 additional lights arranged roughly north to south with varying intensity due to distance with two advanced farther to the west forming a roughly L shape, though I believe there was a salient in the formation as the dimmest and closest to the horizon object was not the tip of the L.. The lights maintained this formation and drifted slowly west until they were obscured by a tree. Total time observed was approximately 1 hour with a break.

I have observed aircraft in this area for thirty years and have seen all manner of USAF and commercial aircraft at night as there was a air force base here formerly. I have observed helicopters and I believe a drone in the area as well at night. These lights were unlike anything I have seen in the night sky. I can't explain what I saw, I do not believe in extra terrestrials and I can see no rational reason for any craft to use lights in this fashion. Nevertheless, we saw what we saw even if it defies explanation.

Bright flash of light that changed color then exploded in mid-air with a shower of sparks

Traveling west on Rt. 9, from Keeseville, NY to Ausable Forks, NY on Saturday, July 30th 2005.

This area is very rural. Sky was dark and clear, dont remember much of a moon.

At about 11:29pm eastern my attention was drawn to a streak of light in the sky. It was very white, bright and fast, low to the horizon but above the tree line, descending almost perpendicular to the ground (perhaps a slight North/South tilt). It seemed very wide for a meteor flash.

The streak terminated barely above the treeline, but exhibited some unusual behavior. In the last second it changed from a whitish light to a deep emerald green hue, utterly lovely, and then exploded in a shower of golden sparks.

It looked for all the world like a lance of light that struck something in the sky which then exploded.

It was silent as far as I can tell, there was no boom after the streak terminated.

sitting on my roof 5 crafts flew down and seemed to chase one another.

I was sitting on my roof with my boyfriend and looking at the stars then I thought I saw a shooting star but, It was changing color and direction. It got closer and four more appear in the same fasion. then they flew around as if chaseing one another. It was also really really quiet as it got closer to the ground. The cars that were driving by stalled and then they disappeared into the night sky.



NUFORC Note:

Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and does not indicate a duration for the event. We wonder whether the four lights might have been an advertizing light. PD

unusually shaped, very bright light-no other colors, slowly moving over the town, then disappearing from sight-no sounds

Saw a UFO in the evening sky, appeared as a bright light, the brightness of a star, moving slow over the outskirts of our town. It was large, possibly diamond shaped, I saw it first, as the driver of the car and mentioned it to my husband to look at it also as he was in the passenger seat. I continued to drive and he watched, and it disappeared. There was no sound. It was suddenly gone. It had appeared to be moving but very slow, as like a hover. My husband and I were on our way home from shopping and had taken the exit to our town of Keeseville and had just gotten off the Northway ramp and noticed the bright object to our left up in the sky. We have never seen anything like it before.
