Two glowing blue objects with pulsing tangerine lights below, suspended absolutely still, in close view; dog agitated

I live on Lake Kinderhook, New York, in Columbia County. On the night of October 3, 2020, it was cool, so I built a fire in the living room. It was cozy and though a couple of lamps were still burning, I fell asleep on the living room couch. My Shih Tzu Tucker also fell asleep, at my feet.

At 4 a.m. (I checked the time on my laptop computer, which I hadn’t turned off), I was still sound asleep. Tucker woke up and started barking furiously. He only barks when someone comes to the front door…a squirrel on the roof, for example, doesn’t alarm him. He kept barking and ran around the living room and into the sun room, very agitated. I got up and turned the lights out. If someone were in the yard, I didn’t want them to be able to look in and see me. I then moved to the sun room and peered into the front lawn. I saw nobody. Nothing seemed out of place. However, Tucker was still racing around, barking.

I then moved back into the living room and peered outside windows on the left and right of the room. Again, I saw and heard nothing.

Tucker was still barking and acting upset, so I moved into the bathroom adjacent to the living room and peered through the window into my front yard. From that vantage, across the expanse of my yard, in front of a white garage shed on the next door property, which I also own, there were two identical objects suspended at a height of about 12-14 feet, just under the shed’s roof line. They were small and rectangular, each about 5 feet in length, I’d estimate. They made no noise and were suspended in "straight line" formation, exactly parallel. They were eerily still and quiet. The tops of the objects were like very thick bars with very slightly rounded corners. They were a glowing, extremely beautiful blue. I had never seen such a beautiful blue before, Underneath each of the thick blue bars was a row of small circular “thumbprint” lights, a brilliant, also very beautiful, tangerine color. Those lights were pulsing gently, dim-bright, dim-bright.

Tucker was still barking and I was terrified. I was trained in critical thinking, and quickly, I went through a series of possible explanations. I didn’t think they were drones because they were completely still and besides, it was 4 a.m. in a rural area. Who would be operating drones at that time, in our small hamlet? Then I thought of a possible laser projection, but these seemed like solid matter, not holographic, and again, the complete stillness of the suspended objects seemed wrong for a laser projection. Someone would have had to hold a projector; wouldn’t there be at least a slight tremble? Also, someone would have had to project them from someplace on my property, and there was no one there.

I ran into the living room and turned my cellphone on, hoping to take a photo. This takes a couple of minutes, so I left the phone on a coffee table and raced back to the window. The glowing, suspended objects were still there. I did not hear any sounds, but both the dog and I felt hyper-alert at that moment, the way you do when you sense an intruder. I watched them in the dark, then retreated to the living room to get my cellphone. Before I tried to put it on camera setting to take a picture, I made a quick call to our local Troopers and asked them to do a drive-by if they were in the area. I did not want to go into detail and risk being perceived as crazy; all I told the dispatcher was that there were some blue lights on the next door property, my dog was very agitated, and that someone involved in low-level drug activity had once lived on the property and might have returned to search for something. The New Lebanon Barracks said they would send a car.

I went back to the bathroom window then, with my cellphone to take a photo. But the two glowing, suspended objects were no longer there. I did not hear any sound of their leaving. They were just gone. My dog had quit barking, but afterwards he stayed unnaturally close to me, clearly spooked.

When the Troopers came, we walked around the property together and saw nothing.

That would have been the end of it, but a few weeks later, the charge officer of the New Lebanon Barracks called to ask about my report. I had put the event out of my mind, but quickly recalled the events of that night. She asked, “Is there anything else you want to tell us about the blue lights?” When I reported the conversation to my adult daughter, she had the sense that there probably had been other sightings. I just told the officer her troopers had been very professional and thanked her for their trouble. I did not choose to tell her the extent of what I’d seen.

In late November, my daughter visited me from Manhattan. She also paid a visit to her college friend Kait, who lives in a cottage on my lane. Kait told my daughter that she had had an identical sighting a week or two later—but she had seen the still, suspended craft above a field off Route 9 as she was returning home from her teaching job. It was near a local landmark, Period Picks Antiques. The time must have been around 5 p.m.; in New York in November, it gets dark quite early. Kait had pulled off the road and watched the objects for several minutes. Then she drove home. When I talked to her later, she said the objects were the most beautiful glowing shade of blue she had ever seen. That was satisfactory verification, to me, that she had seen the same objects I had. Nine weeks later, I have not seen them again. If my dog had not barked and run around, I would have slept through the whole thing.
