Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Poughquag, NY, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Lights on object

Very slow moving object with bright lights that caused me to pull over to examin it.

I was driving on the Taconic State Parkway North Bound. About a quarter of a mile before the Beekman exit I noticed lights in the sky. As I approached the exit I kept staring at it. The object was very low to the ground but yet it was moving very slow. When I got off the exit I pulled over to take photos of it but I couldn't get a good angle to shoot it.

The shape of looked like this using the lights as a line connection: O blinking red | O----------O----------O very bright steady white | O blinking red

The object made no sound at all.

Duration: 10 s15 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Poughquag, NY, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Large triangular shaped object with steady red,green and white lights glides over my home

While laying on my couch watching TV I noticed through my blinds a white bright light in the distance approaching my house. At first I thought it was plane but the light got closer. I jumped up,looked through the window and saw a large triangular shaped object slow and make a long swooping turn,almost as if were gliding. It was dark, but I saw 3 or 4 lights on the object.

The lights were steady not flashing and were red,green and white.

This object was way to low to be a plane in my opinion.

Occurred: 2001-09-29 22:00 Local
Reported: 2001-09-29 20:28 Pacific
Duration: 1+ hours
No of observers: 4

Location: Poughquag, NY, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

red, green and white (or yellow) flashing lights on a silent, stationary object in the east/northeast sky

At first it appeared to be a bright star in the clear east/northeast sky. Then we noticed flashing lights; red, green and white (or yellow). Object was stationary for about 45 minutes and then seemed to slowly drop slightly in the sky and then again become stationary. Through binoculars we could see the lights clearly flashing in a clockwise pattern, and at times seem to speed or slow up. Object also seemed to turn to face different directions, at least it appeared to as it looked like the lights sometimes were aimed in different directions. There was no sound.



NUFORC Note:

We observe that the sighting is not inconsistent with the many reports we receive of celestial bodies, principally "twinkling" stars. However, a celestial body in the northeast sky would not descent, it would appear to rise and move to the right slowly, as the Earth rotates. Without triangulation, or a star chart, however, this is only a guess. PD

Shape: Circle


Fast moving saucer like object over Dutchess County.

I saw an object which appeared to be red in color from the bottom and was moving from a north westerly direction heading south east. The object was moving very fast and was shaped like a saucer. The object was moving very fast and suddenly took off with such speed it vanished from sight within an instant. I have seen aircraft and used to be a pilot and have never seen anything like this nor have I ever seen an object just vanish from sight just as quickly as it appeared.
