2 unidentifiable flying objects passsed over our home in Kerhonkson , NY

Looked like a bright golden star off in the distance, seemed to hover and then rise straight up. The "star" then seemed to fly in a slight zig/zag pattern. As it got closer there appeared small rectangular shapes at the bottom of the object- these rectangles had a blue/grey hue to them, and there were two small flashing lights- a white one at the top and a red one at the bottom. It flew off and disappeared. About 15 min later another golden star was spotted (North over Kerhonkson and heading south). This one flew in the same zig zag pattern, as it passed by we snapped some photos. Did not see any rectangles on this one.

Bright light illuminates daytime sky over Kerhonkson, NY at funeral for elderly witness to at least 2 UFOs

In town for a funeral, several of us were leaving Humiston's in Kerhonkson, New York when a bright flash occurred in the daytime sky lasting only a second or two. There were no streaks in the sky, no trail left behind. It all seemed to occur in one small spot, miles up in the sky. Family members immediately attributed the flash to the work of our deceased relative. Though a meteor might explain the bright flash, the fact that flash occurred in only one small spot in the sky casts some doubt, as does the enormous intensity of the flash of light. And, that doubt is what makes this flash of light "unidentified". I did not see the sky myself, but I did see the flash of light reflected on the ground and buildings, similar to a lightning strike, brighter than the sunlight which was bright that day.

It should be noted that the elderly relative whose funeral was in progress, was a witness to at least 2 UFO sightings, one in the 1970's and one mass sighting in the mid 80's, both of which she forever refused to talk about, taking the accounts of those sightings to her grave.

Occurred: 2005-06-26 02:36 Local

Location: Kerhonkson, NY, USA

Shape: Formation


Three points of light in a triangle formation.

A group of friends and myself were camping in the vicinity of Kerhonkson, NY. While stargazing, a friend of mine (female police officer from NJ) noticed "three satellites moving together in formation". I chuckled because I had been pointing out satellites and "shooting stars" for most of the night because out of the eight of us camping together, half had never seen one (due to the light-pollution in Northern NJ). That's when I turned around and was amazed to see three "stars" moving in a tight, smooth formation silently gliding across the dark sky. Their motion was fluid and constant (like a LEO satellite) up until the end of our horizon when one of the "lights" moved out of formation. It was not a solid object because I clearly saw stars pass between the "lights". My friends were amazed and I was left stumped for answers. It moved from a southwesterly direction towards the northeast.
