No of observers: 1

Location: Niskayuna, NY, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

The craft did not look or act like a plane and was silent as it first hovered then moved through sky just above the trees.

I was driving home on Rosendale road just before 10 pm. I was driving towards the Lisha Kill nature preserve which was to my right. I looked up to the sky to my right over the tree line and saw lights in the sky.

At first I thought it was an airplane because we have Albany International airport not too far away. As I got closer I thought I can't be an airplane because it was stationary and low to the ground the object was maybe 50 feet above the tree line.

My next thought was it must be a helicopter but as I got closer to the object I knew it was not a helicopter by its shape and the fact it was making no noise.

I stopped my car in the middle of the road and through a gap in the trees I could make out the object. It had sky-blue lights on the ends of its wings and four lights underneath alternating red and white. The lights gave off an illumination that was different from a light on a regular airplane, they were almost glowing but not like spotlights.

The object was small like the size of a car. Its wings were shaped like bananas or like a three-dimensional triangle which were divided symmetrically by a similar shape on top of the center of the craft. Underneath the craft were two protruding geometrical shapes that looked like rudders on an airplane but these pointed towards the ground.

After I stopped my car, the object hovered for a few seconds then very smoothly like a balloon floating through the air began to fly away from me deeper into the nature preserve. The shape of the craft, the fact that it was in a location not easly accessible by people, its relation to the tree line, the way it glided through the sky, and the fact it made no sounds lead me to believe it was a ufo.

I tried to follow the object by roads surrounding the preserve but to no avail. I have to say I'm a believer of ufo sightings I just never thought I would be privy to one. I immediately went home and tried to draw the object I saw to the ! best of my abilities.

I am a male in my early thirties and am always aware of my surroundings. I know a thing or two about planes and this was not a plane. There is Knolls Atomic Power laboratory near by and who knows what they're doing in those facilities. The object I saw was unique and like nothing I have seen before.

I had a camera phone but by the time I got over the awe the object was pulling away and I didn't have a good angle.

Bright white light / Extreme Acceleration

Date: 06/16/12 Time: 11:46 pm Location: Niskayuna, NY Latitude = 42.8177, Longitude = -73.9013 Weather: Clear skies, Crescent Moon Object: Bright solid light moving West to East Height: Approx 35,000 – 40,000ft Speed: Approximately 1200mph (Based on avg commercial jet speed of 575mph) Angle of View: Approximately 70 degree angle facing North with respect to the horizon Sound: None Sitting outside and looking at the stars, I noticed a solid bright white light moving from West to East at approximately the height of a commercial aircraft, but without any discernible flashing lights. I watched the light move across the sky in a fluid motion for approximately 6 seconds at a rate of speed estimated to be twice that of a commercial jet. At that point, the light flashed once (again white) and I watched the light shoot away at an extremely high rate of speed. The light did not disappear, but appeared like a tracer being shot out of a military weapon till I quickly lost sight of it behind a tree.

I had though initially I was viewing a satellite (which I have seen before and could recognize), but when it flashed and shot off, I was stunned. I am at a loss to explain what I saw and in the process of contacting our local airport to see if they have any explanations or if there is any radar data to support what I saw that night.

If I hear anything back from the airport, I will follow up with you also. Thanks again for your hard work and efforts!

Pulsing lights move across the sky

We were driving down the road. We stopped at a stop sign and saw a light in the sky. The light was flashing oddly, but not really flashing. It was definitely pulsing yellow blue and white. The light faded bright and then dim, faded bright and dim. It was in a kind of straight line, but it looked like it curved around the edges. This craft was simply hovering above the sky, just pulsing lights. All of a sudden we see the craft tilt to about a 45-degree angle. The craft then starts moving in a straight line. We started to follow it, and had a rather easy time doing it. All of a sudden, the craft disappeared behind some clouds. When it came back in to view, it was far on the horizon. It travelled miles literally in seconds.

I also feel the need to include the fact that I am a veteran of the military. I used to work in the Aviation department. I have never seen the military possess anything that could hover and move that fast. Not even a helicopter. Unfortunatel! y, since we were in the car, we have no real photographic evidence, and didn't see enough of a shape to really provide any detailed drawing.
