Circular green object entering our atmosphere turned into light storm of energy.????

My work crew of three and I had just pulled into our hotel, when we saw what looked to be a round green object racing towards earth. At about 20' from the horizon at my vantage point it had a green fireball around it, I would estimate it to be within five miles of my location easy. From my vantage point it looked to be as big as a house and at about 5' from the horizon it lit the whole sky lit up with light.

Then a kind of trace of lightning looking light coming into it "not away from it". If it had been a meteor or something else, there isn't a doubt in my mind we would have heard it impact earth. It seemed to have just stopped. It was like it had an intelligence about it not just some dumb rock entering our atmosphere. The night tonight is clear and the background is solid black. It was just one very large object.

3 Giant Fireballs over Easter Long Island! UFO Sighting 09/04/2013

My cousin and I were coming from Mc Donals on Flanders Rd in Riverhead headed east when up to the north east we could see 3 Giant, pulsating, fireballs!

Upon driving further down the road where we could get a good look at them we stopped the car and there we could see three distinct fireballs glowing bright yellowish-orange and moving at very high speeds!

We tried to take a picture but by the time I got my phone out they had moved far beyond the cameras line of veiw!

I am a 23 year old man and I was born and raised here in the town of Riverhead! I have never seen anything like this before and I have no reason to make any of this up!

We really feel as though we saw something remarkable and just wanted it to be in someway documented!

small silver/white light , making rapid zig-zag patterns in early morning sky

I looked up at the sky this morning at 5:40, looking north, and I saw what I thought was a satellite- small whitish/silver circle, like a star. Instead of taking a steady path like a satellite, this whitish circle began to make irregular patterns very quickly. It almost looked like a white/silver balloon that was getting caught up in the wind and was blowing from random gusts of wind. It remained the same color and brightness, but would zig zag, then seem to stop, then repeat the irregular rapid movement. I watched it for approximately two minutes until I lost it to the north west.

Huge V shaped object with yellow lights and no sound surrounded by a hazy fog

My wife and I were standing on the deck of our house approximately 10:15-10:20 PM on March 15, 2009. It was a very clear night and we saw a smoky haze in the north sky coming toward us. There was not a cloud in the sky, bright stars and no wind.

As it got closer we saw a "V" shape with 5 yellow lights on each side. It was huge and it did not make a sound. There were no flashing or blinking lights as there are on a plane. This was too large to be a plane and it did not make a sound.

As far as we know, no one else in our area saw this object.

I was driving on the LIE with my daughter heading west. The night was very clear. I looked up and saw a large bright round light just sitting in the sky. It just sat there for a few seconds then very quickly drove off into the sky and disappeared out of sight. It moved incredibly fast!! Like nothing I have ever seen.

UFO Spotted in Riverhead NY 01/16/08

On January 16, 2008 at approximately 1130 hours, I was traveling Southbound on Route 105 in Riverhead toward Westhampton, NY. The sky was clear and it was sunny. I was looking forward when a very large object caught my eye in the sky. It appeared to move very quickly and it was much larger than any aircraft that I have ever seen. It was totally quiet, and although the sky was clear and the object was flying low, it appeared and disappeared from site several times. I watched it move very quickly Westbound toward New York City. There was a white streak that appeared and disappeared with the object. When I saw the object, I immediately called my brother and asked him to check the news for “breaking news” that someone else may have seen this object. I did not want to report the object for fear of embarrassment, however, when I watched the evening news tonight, I now know that other people have sighted the same type of object in other parts of the country.

A very fast flying object on Digital camera video clip

I was at a bike fest in riverhead and taking footage of the stunts, when I got home and was watching the footage from my digital camera I noticed a object in the sky in the backround of one of the clips, It moves very fast and is circular shaped. It is a very compelling clip for myself, i have allways belived in UFO's but not fully until now . I have reviewed the clip many times and it is in NO way shape or form a Airplane , Bird , Ballon , or anythging else you could possible try to call it! I would like some information on who to get this clip out to without having trouble and I would also like to make some money off it. I am being very honest and this is something I take very seriously and never thought would happen to me

Phoenix Lights on Long Island

I was driving West on Route 48 from Orient Long Island. As I got to Southold I saw a very bright yellowish light in the air. I drove towards it for 45 minutes and it did not change direction, when I came to a clearing off to my rightside which is where the Long Island Sound is I saw a smaller bright Cobalt Blue light closer to the ground moving east. I noticed 2 (military) jets flying close by the Bright yellow light. I lost sight of the blue one because I was driving. After another 20 minutes I got out of my car and the light was still there, same height and did not moving. I then had to get onto the Long Island Expressway where I lost sight of the "craft".
