Reported: 2017-08-14 06:42 Pacific
Duration: 1.5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Manlius, NY, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Large craft with very bright, orangish pulsating lights hovering slowly at a high altitude. Was able to get video of it.

Large quiet craft moving very slow, almost hovering at a high altitude. Had approximately 4 possibly 5 very bright orange/red pulsating lights, almost a slow breathing effect. The light brightness made identifying the shape of the craft impossible. Seen south west from Hadley Ln. Video captured.

Night before, I saw a woman and child staring into the sky at the same location, but didn't think much of it until after seeing this the following night.

Could possibly be a very large recreational drone, not sure how high they are capable of climbing as this craft went into the clouds. There were commercial airplanes in the skies as well but they were traveling much faster and higher. Their light flashes were also faster.

Round glowing object observed in Manlius N.Y.

At 10:00 pm EST, August 20th 2003 Broadfield Road in Manlius N.Y. I observed a white glowing round object approximately the size of a bottle cap at half an arms length, slowly traveling from South to North low in the western sky. The object had about the same luminescence as a bright full moon and could still be seen as it passed behind the area trees. Unrestricted viewing observation time was about 2 seconds, total observation time was approximately 5 seconds before the object left the area.



NUFORC Note:

We know this witness from several earlier reports. We consider him to be quite credible. PD

7-3-03 A Soundless Vaporless Silver Cylinder Object Flyies East To West In The Suburbs Of Syracuse New York.

I was facing south and I first spotted an unusual flying object about SSW to SW. From my location the object looked like a silver cigar tube. I was trying to find the wings or a tail section and neither was visible, if they existed. The object was in site for about 10 seconds and it did not make a sound. Furthermore, there was no vapor trail. It was traveling east to west, but not traveling toward the setting sun: rather it had the sun about 15 degrees off its right side.



NUFORC Note:

Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD
