Characteristics: Lights on object

We saw four floating, glowing lights in the early evening sky for about two minutes, beneath the clouds, making no sound, and they disa

On July 7th, between 9:15-9:30 PM we (my partner and I) were driving on Friend road, just past Italy-Friend Rd, heading south, but the sighting occured when the road curved and was heading east, about 5 miles north of Branchport, NY. We saw 4 lights in the sky. There was a distinct cloud cover in the area, and these glowing lights were all visible beneath the clouds. We slowed our car down and heard the beep of a tractor in a field, later I went back to meet that farmer and he was beeping at us to see the lights. We talked about it and confirmed that it was like nothing that we had ever seen before.

When we noticed the lights I slowed the car down, head kind of out the window, and finally pulled over and stopped and got out of the car. My partner watched from inside the car. I could hear no sounds coming from those lights, only the small din of the tractor in the field we had just passed. He later told me he had turned his tractor off and could hear nothing as well. We saw 4 lights. One was blocked from view by trees by the time we pulled our car over. It was difficult to tell about their movement. They more or less were hovering, and moved a little and disappeared. We assumed they went above the clouds but who knows. When we did see the lights, they appeared bigger than airplane lights would in the sky, I would say they glowed, no flashing. Their color was kind of a red-orange. They immediately caught my attention as being a sight I had had never seen in the evening sky, and they were below the clouds. When the three that we could finally see disappeared, th! ey did not disappear over the horizon, rather it appeared that they went into the clouds.

I then went back to the farmer and he was putting his tractor away as it was pretty dark by now, not completely. He was a Mennonite farmer. He had been beeping at us to see the lights and we talked about it. He said he had noticed them about the same time as we drove by. I would guess that from the time we saw them to the time they disappeared that about two minutes went by. He mentioned a diamond formation. It appeared to us that the 4th was a little removed from the other three and then that was blocked from view as I stated earlier.

Location: Penn Yan, NY, USA

Shape: Fireball


We saw a white ball flying at a fast speed level to the ground at a height of 400 feet for five seconds.

On approximately June 15th 2012 my wife and I were coming back from a restaurant in the Penn Yan NY area at approximately 8:30 PM when a white ball of light flew over our heads. We were in an automobile, the weather was clear, when from the Northeast going to the Southwest a white ball of light flew over our heads at a high rate of speed.

The ball was flying at perhaps five times tree height. It was going at a level line with the tree line not at an angle with the ground. It was perfectly round and about 20 feet in diameter. It was a very white light going at a speed at least that of a jet. We watched it for only about five seconds. It had no flame or tail in back of it. There was no lightning or bad weather, skies were clear. We both saw it. It did light the area around it reflecting light off of the trees. Again it did not change elevation like a meteor would.

erratic bright white flashes, silent, lighting up the sky near south shore of Lake Ontario

At 3:30 AM on 1/6/2011, I saw some very unusual looking flashes of light to the north. The light was bluish white, and flashed erratically, similar to lightning but with occasional series of very bright flashes that lit up the entire sky.

The night was totally clear except for a small cloud on the northern horizon which obscured the source of the light. It looked like it was coming from over the horizon, over Lake Ontario, or possibly from the ground on the southern shore of the lake.

I went outside to listen for noise, maybe booming or thunder, but it was completely silent. The flashing continued in bursts, on and off for about 3 minutes, then stopped abruptly.

Lunar Eclipse UFOS - Illuminated Geese

I fast blasted Art Bell last night, after hearing the descriptions of UFO's during the eclipse last Sat. I witnessed three of the same "v" or "j" shape over my small village in upstate NY. I was excited at first, by quickly realized that the illumination from town, an orangeish/redish glow, had lit the flocks from underneath giving an illusion of running lights on a large, silent, v-shaped craft. I am an avid skywatcher, and believe the possibility of e.t. involvement in our lives. But for the guests on C2C last night, they can put this one to bed. These "lights" were geese were headin' to warmer weather.

Driving at night on a country road. Thought I saw a falling star. Then it stopped, hovered, and then sped forward at an extreme speed

I was a Middle School Counselor at the time this happened. I was working at the Geneva Middle School and was required to take an evening Child Abuse Course in Penn Yan, NY. It was a long time ago, but I think it was in 1991. It was dark out and I was driving home to Canandaigua, NY on a lonely country road. There were few cars on the road. I noticed a bright light up in the sky up to my right over a farm field. It was falling and I thought it was a falling star so I watched it. Soon, however, it stopped falling and hovered in one place and the shot forward at an astonishing speed….faster than an airplane.

I was shocked at what I saw. I started to feel very alone on that country road and got scared because I couldn’t explain what I had seen. The only explanation I could come up with was a UFO. I started to think….”Oh my God, what if I’m abducted, I’m all alone out here in the middle of nowhere”. To my relief, I made it home without incident. When I got home, I told my husband, who is an attorney, what I had seen. I asked if he thought I should call the police to report the incident in case others might have seen this phenomenon and reported it as well. But, I felt uncomfortable making a report like that and using my name, as both my husband and I are professionals in a small community. I know that isn’t a good excuse, but I just let it go. Then recently with the government investigating UAP, I remembered my sighting all those years ago and decided I should at least report it so it is on record.

I have never spoken to anyone who has seen anything like that and wonder if you have gotten any similar reports. It certainly was other worldly.
