5-6 drones flying at 500 feet from north to south chased by a large helicopter. Each drone had a single flood light shining down.

I was in my living room and heard a loud sound outside that sounded like a bunch of helicopters. I ran out to my balcony, which looks directly west, and saw from the north heading south 5 or 6 drones. they were large, car-sized, and square. Each drone had lights on each corner and a single flood light on the bottom and they were all shining directly down. There was a large helicopter chasing them from behind. They flew directly overhead and straight to the south from Mechanicsville and Halfmoon NY towards Latham NY. The drones had white lights on each corner. The helicopter only had small red lights along its bottom roughly on the corners. Otherwise it was black. The most jarring thing besides the loud sound were the floodlights shining down from the drones.

bright orb light in sky moving slowly not plane or star

There was a bright cirlce west of mechanicville hovering in the sky. It was too bright to be a star but, was not moving fast so it could not be an airplane. My boyfriend and myself watched it for over an hour and it seemsed to only barely move. Then upon going back outside on our porch it was just gone. Neither of us can explain what it was.

Location: Mechanicville, NY, USA

Shape: Egg


Green/Blue tear drop shape shot down from the sky, emitting a bright white light after passing the horizon line.

The object was a bright green orb like shape, it shot down from the sky, literally out of nowhere, it was about 1 whole second for that whole sighting, it came to the horizon and basically made some type of explosion, I did not hear anything from it, in my guess about 15-30 miles or more away from the position I was driving. It did make a bright white light once it past the horizon, and that is what I assume its explosion of some sort.




NUFORC Note:

Possible meteor. PD

Characteristics: Left a trail

3 fires hovering over the hudson river in a triangle formation.

I saw 3 Fires hovering on top of the Hudson River in a triangle formation. I could tell that it wasn't in the water because the river was flowing pretty good and I figured that if it was something burning that it would have moved with the water. I checked for reflections of some sort but I could not find any thing. I kept my eyes on it because I didn't want it to disappear before my co-worker came out. I asked him what he could see while I was pointing to it. He said it looked like fire he said he has never seen that before. I have never seen anything like it. It burned out a few minutes after that. It reminded me of burner like on a gas stove. The sky was cloudy and the water showed no sign of displacement. And the sounds were normal. Hope there is some sort of explanation for this occurrence.
