A black triangle with 4 circles on the bottom and no lights flew silently over the freeway slowly moving north east

I was getting in my car after work. I noticed a black triangle in the sky. It was right over my head and I watched it until my view was obstructed. It has no lights. It was black and hard to see against the night sky. There were circles on the underside on each point of the triangle and one in the middle. They looked brownish. I ran around to see past the tree and it was no longer visible.

On Dec 21, 2024, at 8:43 PM in Charlotte, Rochester NY, I saw a reddish-orange plasma ball moving erratically, followed by a helicopter

Sighting Report – Rochester, NY (Charlotte Neighborhood)

On December 21, 2024, at approximately 8:30 PM, while driving home from shopping, I noticed a reddish object moving in the sky as we turned down Harding Road off of Lake Avenue in Rochester, NY. Around 13 minutes later, at approximately 8:43 PM, after arriving home, I observed the same object from my driveway near Harding and North Burley Road. After dropping off our groceries my nephews and I were in the driveway on the cold snowy night. At about 8:43 pm I noticed and started to record a strange orangish object as my nephews and I commented about it as we watched it.

The object appeared as a bright, reddish-orange light, spherical in shape, and self-illuminating. It seemed to pulse as it moved across the sky. At one point, the object dropped straight down, abruptly shifted 180 degrees to the side, and then ascended vertically in a manner that defied typical aircraft physics. The movements were so rapid and erratic that I had difficulty keeping track of it with my phone camera, briefly losing sight of it before it reappeared and resumed sharp, zig-zagging maneuvers.

As I recorded the object, I initially mistook an approaching aircraft for a commercial plane. Upon closer inspection of the video, I realized it was a large helicopter flying very close to the pulsing orange object. As the helicopter approached, the object appeared to blink out of sight.

The sighting began above a large tree near Harding and North Burley Road, with the object moving mostly horizontally to the east, eventually crossing over the Genesee River.

I am familiar with conventional aircraft behavior, and the speed, precision, and unusual flight path of this object did not resemble any drone, helicopter, or plane I have encountered.

NUFORC Note:

Highlighted this one because of the unusual helicopter approach and the reaction of the object.

A white, airplane shaped object, approximately the size of a short school bus hovering several hundred feet off the ground

I was traveling north on Interstate 390 from the Jefferson Rd. on ramp. As soon as I reached the highway level I saw a long white object in the sky that looked like a small aircraft. It was low, but an airport is nearby so I didn't think much of it. I was driving toward it. As I continued on my trajectory I realized the object was not moving at all. It was just floating there, as if frozen, clear and plain as day. There was no sound associated with it that I could hear over the highway noise. This was just after rush hour and there must have been hundreds of witnesses. As the highway climbs at the interchange, it is hard to estimate how high it was off ground level, but I will say approximately 200-300 feet (perhaps only 50 feet higher than the high point of the roadway). I was traveling to 590 northbound, bearing right. I was screaming and fumbling for my phone to get a photo but could not deploy it safely in traffic. As I made the turn onto 590 N, the roadway descends and a line of trees from the park blocks the view of the craft, which would now be in my rear-view mirror. The object was long and white. As I only saw it in one plane of view, I was not able to tell if there were wings etc. From the side it was in the shape of a small airplane, but it was not moving. My partner flies a drone. This was far too large to be any drone I could conceive of. It could not have been a kite or other citizen manned object as it was only 18 degrees out. I have combed all the local media sources this morning and heard nothing about it. The image I sent shows the area the craft was seen circled in yellow, my driving trajectory in red.

This was not a physical sighting. It was observed in a Doppler radar return

I’ve seen many easily explained radar anomalies over the years but never a huge rectangle with a clearly defined vapor shock wave and trail.
Not birds. Not insects. Not clouds. Judging by the image size, rectangle would be approximately 20 miles in length.

Compressed vapor trail appears to be in excess of 150 miles long.
If anyone can offer a logical explanation of this image, please share.

An orb appeared in the middle of the sky, slowly traversed East SE performed a big S shape maneuver and then vanished

After having sightings on Friday (7/12/24), Monday (7/15/24) and Tuesday (7/16/24), I wasn't planning on going outside anymore to watch. However, my boss told me he would be walking his dog from 9:00pm to 9:30pm this evening, so I decided I would give it one more day of watching. While I was outside, I was chatting with my brother on Facebook messenger while looking due north from my patio. I didn't physically see it just appear, but all the sudden there was just an orb in the open sky moving in an easterly direction. Based on where I saw it in the sky and it's direction at that time, this orb would have been visible for 4-5 minutes prior to getting to that spot in the sky and that simply wasn't possible with me looking at this section of sky the entire time. I told my brother I needed to go as a bright object just appeared. I then recorded the object, which appeared to be a couple thousand feet above the ground. I watched it for a bit and then opened my flight radar app (on the video) and the only thing in that direction was a gigantic Airbus350 about 10-15 miles north, which would be clearly visible as a jet at that distance (I've did trial and error to see what different planes and jets look like at 30X zoom and they are all clearly jets/planes).

I then went back to recording the object. It eventually can be seeing moving behind a tree. At this point it get up to get in a better position to see the object. I end up standing between two trees and zoom in on the object again. At this point in time (2:08 in the video), the object changes directions with conviction eventually making a big S shape. It started out traveling ESE, then turned to travel NNE before again changing direction to travel SE, at which point it was going through the tree in the foreground again. I side stepped to get it back into the frame, but the object had vanished. I search around the sky both with my eyes and the camera with no luck.

Orb captured in the vicinity of fixed wing aircraft with proof that the fixed wing was the only object transponding

After seeing an orb on Friday, 7/12/2024 and then another the following Monday evening which I physically saw appear out of thin air, I was going to watch the skies tonight to see if I could witness another orb and boy was I not disappointed. I actually saw an object at 8:30pm (will upload that video as well - 3rd on the list of items uploaded and is daytime with the PXL prefix) which left a trail behind it and looked almost like it split into two orbs or changed shape. However, I thought it could have been a jet at high altitude and a long ways away (later compared to jets I saw in similar vacinity and it was definitely NOT a jet that I saw).

For the main sighting it was around 10:15pm when I saw an orb to my north west. It was traveling south east (towards me) and looked as if it kept the path it was going it would have traveled over my neighborhood just to the east of my house. As I was recording it an airplane had just taken off from the airport (a mile to my north) and was headed over my house to the west straight toward the orb. The orb at some point changed direction as the fixed wing aircraft was headed right towards the object. It changed from going south east to and was headed almost due east for a while. At one point they were so close that I captured both the airplane and the orb in the same shot on video within a couple of frames of each other. At this point, on the video, you can see me open my flight radar app and prove that the fixed wing airplane was the ONLY thing transponding in the vicinity at that time.

I continued to record the orb and wanted to record it until it went out of sight. I moved from on my patio and walked into the yard in order to capture the orb through to the horizon as much as possible. As I set up to record it and right as I zoomed into 30X on the object my camera app malfunctioned/froze and closed. This happened at the exact same time that the orb disappeared into thin air from my naked eye. It just vanished at the same time my camera app froze and malfunctioned.

NUFORC Note:

Daylight vidoe appears to be an aircraft with a contrail behind it.

Saw an orb appear out of thin air and slowly travel across the sky over 5 minutes

I was talking on the phone with my mother about the previous sighting I had just 3 nights earlier (7/12/2024) when I saw an orb appear out of thin air as I was watching the sky. I was chatting with her about calling the local airport (it's an international airport) and talking with someone about what I saw and whether or not I could get radar data or something to be able to tell what I saw exactly. The man at the airport said my sighting was interesting and that he was going to have someone from the FAA contact me tomorrow morning. We had chatted for nearly 40 minutes about various things and I got bored of listening to her so I went to the same window to look outside to see if any other orbs appeared. I was looking out of the window for a few minutes before my mom told me "I better let you get ready for bed". I told her I was actually looking out the same window as the previous night and kind of described that it was still too light out to see any stars at the moment and right at that time an Orb appeared in the open sky out of thin air and was slowly moving ENE. I told her that something just appeared but I needed to look at it a while longer because I thought I saw something blink or have a protrusion out of it. I watched it for another 15-20 seconds and then I told my mom I needed to look at my flight radar app to see if anything showed up. I opened the app and there was absolutely nothing on the flight radar app within 40-50 miles. I then told her I was going to hang up and go record video of the object.

I went outside and used both my phone's video mode to record about a 2 minute clip as well as AZScreenRecorder app after that to record another 2 minute clip. The reason I used AZScreenRecorder app is that it allows me to record what my phone sees while in PHOTO mode and gets me up to 30X zoom instead of just 20X with video mode.

This object was the only "celestial body" in the sky at this time of evening. No stars or planets were visible to the naked eye. The object never changed speed or direction as far as I could tell. There were times on the video where it looked as if the object disappeared for a brief moment and appeared in a different area close by, especially at the very end of the AZScreenRecorder version.
I will be eagerly awaiting my call from the FAA tomorrow morning to say the least.

I saw a quite bright light out the window moving, went outside to record it on video. Not on flight radar.

I got done tucking my son into bed and as I was walking up the stairs I saw a quite bright object in the sky, I paused to look at it quick because I thought it was Venus. To be honest, it was brighter than Venus. At this time it was nearly straight above the house. However the object was moving. I then ran back downstairs and out the walkout patio to watch/record the object. It slowly/steadily moved across the sky. I zoomed in on my camera on my phone and it just looked like an orb/sphere. I thought I was recording but was just looking at my screen. At some point I did take a picture of the object unknowingly. After I realized I wasn't recording, I then switched to my video mode and captured the object moving. Before it got out of sight I wanted to confirm it wasn't seen on flight tracking software. So I quit recording and there wasn't an object on the flight radar in that area, only one lone plane about to fly over my house. So I took a screenshot of the flight radar at that time and then recorded the airplane. Clearly different objects.

Lots of maneuvers!

While on morning break, my mom and I saw a light resembling a star.
It moved rapidly, so we continued to observe it. We noted how controlled it’s movements were and also how far it moved across the sky in a very short amount of time. It was totally silver in color, and we saw it give off red and blue/green lights once it got to a fairly high altitude. They flashed for a moment, and then not again after that. We took several videos and noticed it’s disc shape and how it seemed to defy gravity. It moved unlike any drone, helicopter or jet we have ever seen. It made end over end maneuvers and bounced across the sky, speeding extremely high and coming back down just as fast. I don’t see a place to attach my videos, but I am willing to share them via email.

Saw 3 orbs of light in formation

Was watching the perseid meteor shower looking West when my girlfriend and I noticed 1 orb of light moving across the sky going South East. As we watched 2 more orbs appeared also going the same direction. All 3 were in a triangle formation. They would stop and hover for a few seconds before moving across the sky. They disappeared one at a time around the same point in the sky. These lights didn't appear to be satellites or aircraft and they didn't have the usual blinking green or red lights most aircraft have.

Two lights high in sky appeared to be on object hovering stationary in sky. Fiancée and I witnessed this leaving dinner. My friend separately texted me in this moment and reported seeing this as well. Got in car and got onto main road (less than a minute or two in car) when object was suddenly hovering above other side of road to the west. Object appeared very large considering width of lights in relation to height in sky. Object then stayed in this spot for some time. My fiancée and I traveled in car about 20 minutes trying to get closer. Object then seemed to begin to move quickly and steadily north/northwest.

Semi-Transparent Rectangular or Diamond Shaped Craft Descended in a Circular Pattern

While patiently waiting for breakfast in the world's longest drive-thru line, I observed a rectangular or diamond shaped craft descend from the sky in a corkscrew maneuver. The craft appeared to be semi-transparent (barely visible against the bright sky) and there was an odd hazy distortion in the air around it. It looked like a lightly-tinted pane of glass flying in a horizontal orientation. The surfaces were perfectly flat with no hint of curvature that I could see. In hindsight, it seemed like I might actually have viewed the shadow of a craft that was trying to remain invisible. The object continued to descend in a perfect circle until it became obscured beyond the treeline. This lasted only about one minute from the time I noticed it.

In fact, if the drive-thru line had been moving at a normal speed, I never would have noticed it. You really had to focus on that region of the sky to see the contrast of the object and the distortion around it as it moved. I was wearing polarized sunglasses at the time, and wonder if they might have helped me to pick up on the contrast in the bright morning sun.

In the days that followed, I tried to rationalize what I had seen as something conventional. However, to this day I am unable to explain it in conventional terms. What's even more bizarre, is that in the months that followed the sighting, I experienced (3) sleep paralysis incidents with accompanying high-strangeness phenomena. I won't go into all of the details here, but the end result was an insatiable appetite to explore the nature of consciousness which persisted for more than a year, and a series of odd synchronicities which seemed to parallel a structured learning process.

Most unexplainable thing I’ve ever seen

Sitting by a fire and noticed what I at first thought was a cloud, but noticed it was staying consistent and moving quickly, didn’t dull nor brighten or change shape, cigar shaped, kept a clear outline the entire time and dulled when moving behind a cloud so we know it was very distant. Moved pitch and direction while keeping same lighting and shape. The light was not as bright as the stars but very consistent and moved uniform-ally Until fading out of sight 15-20 seconds. Very large but far away and moved in a manor that showed uniformity and not consistent with anything I deem explainable.

Rochester ny bright white ball of light flying fast

I woke up and went outside to smoke a cigarette. As I was standing at my back door facing west looking north west and yawned. When I opened my eyes from my yawn at the same time looked south west. I see a bright white ball of light moving from east to west fast, and curved a little north. I caught the end of it when It caught my eye. It was quick and brighter than a star. No streaking or trail. It didn’t light up the area around it or anything like that. There was no sound. I lost it over the house that were in front of me facing my back door. I was upset I was to busy yawning to pay attention to the sky usually I keep my eyes up but i was tired.

At around 9:30pm may 16 2021 we had a crescent moon so i brought out the telescope to look at the moon. while looking at a the moon very close, i think i was using 9mm lense and had a very clear and close view of every detail on the moon. I watched a rectangle shaped ship go from the bottom of the moon that was lit up by the sun and up to the dark part of the moon. The ufo moved very quick and traveled the surface of the moon in about 3 seconds. I also noticed it was fairly bigger than most of the craters on the moon and it left a shading on the ground as it traveled. I came to the conclusion it must have been massive for me to see it as i did. It had the shape of a rectangle if you rounded off its edges and thinned out the front of it.It caught me off guard so i didnt get many detailed on it but it was dark like black or smokey gray.The ufo had no lights nore did it leave a trail. I watched for several hours after that to see it it would come back around se! eing as it moved so fast but never did. I use the telescope alot to take a look at the moon. its a decent telescope and like i said i get really really close detail to the surface and never seen anything pass by the moon like that or that size or even leaving a shadow on the surface. It was pretty interesting. I sometimes see wierd things fly by but you can tell its usually something in our own atmosphere so i kno the difference between the two. Feel free to contact me.

Silver Sphere Ufo

This morning around 11:30 I seen a silver, spherical shaped UFO. As I was walking out of my house, I noticed a dot in the sky with clouds behind it. At first, I thought it was a bird extremely high up in the air, but as it continued to move straight forward at high speeds, the sunlight caught its reflection and it shined a bright flash of light, which further drew my attention to it. This is when I realized it was spherical and silver, although it also seemed to be reflecting the light surrounding it. It had to be at least 15-20,000 ft high. I continued to observe it while walking to my car, which was facing the direction it was coming from. It continued to move straight forward at a high speed. As I got into my car, it made a sudden vertical shot upwards, with a blurry kind of hue surrounding it. It was no longer visible because of how high up it was. There was no noise during this sighting.

Observed silent orange, round object cross the starlit sky. Upon observation, I alerted my sister to record with her cell phone.

Altogether, the object was the same orange type glow with no trail, no change in color or trajectory.

Black Flat Rectangular Flies Over House in Absolute Silence

I was on my back porch waiting for my dog to finish her business when an object suddenly appeared in the back corner of my yard flying toward the house in absolute silence. Thinking it might be an owl, I took a closer look as it came closer and was able to get a very clear look at it. Flying about 50 feet above the ground, it was a flat black rectangle with 3 white stripes on the bottom, unevenly spread apart. The object was maybe 5 feet long and 2 feet wide. It made absolutely no noise and moved through the air very smoothly at a consistent speed. It ended up flying right over my house and I was able to follow it and get a very clear look to ensure my eyes were not deceiving me. I have never seen something fly so silently and smoothly across the sky. It would have been very easy to miss given its silence in the dark sky if I hadn't been in the right place at the right time.

Silver/Blue cigar shaped hoovering over the lake from west to east

About 30 degrees above the horizon, a blue and silver cigar shaped floated from West to East. Motion was very slow and the observation only lasted 15 seconds. Very massive cigar shape floating over the lake Ontario. Looks like a size of silver dollar in the sky. Must be huge judging from the distance of my house to the lake which is 2 miles apart.

It came from West of us maybe Manchester or Concord N.H. headed over Berwick headed over Berwick ME at what appeared to be thousands of miles per hour. I see lots of planes fly over my house at low and medium altitude which takes a minute or more. This thing was up there and cookin'.

2 orbs of light over Rochester, NY

Clear day, early morning, noticed a strange occurrence outside 4th floor apartment window. Two objects, at a fairly high altitude, were moving horizontally across the sky, zig-zagging between other and disappearing and reappearing suddenly. They appeared as lights or orbs, with perhaps some iridescence, and moved quickly across the sky and out of our sight line. There was no noise and the movements were quick and light, not like any drones or similar technology witnessed before.

The second witness ran downstairs to identify the objects closer, at first they only saw one object. It seemed to appear and disappear, and it started going towards a newly visible second object, then both sort of faded off into the same direction, and disappeared from sight. They had remained in the sky for several minutes before fading off as well.

Black circular object floating very high in the sky, flashing white light before disappearing

Two of us were sitting in a backyard. The sky had large white/gray clouds that were passing by close to the sun, but there were large patches of blue sky, too. We saw a circular black object that was extremely high up in the air- too high to be a drone or a bird, and seemed to be above the level of where planes fly, too. It glided across the sky towards the east, but then started gliding towards the west, where the large clouds were. It did not go into the clouds. It glided slowly, and then as it was getting to a gray area of a large cloud that covered the sun, it flashed bright white light three times, and then went into the cloud. When the cloud passed over the sun, the black circular object was nowhere to be seen. We watched this object for approximately 30 minutes.

Object was brightly lit with white/blue lights in a diamond pattern. It was gliding from the SW and stopped behind a street lamp. I cannot estimate its height or distance and appeared to be the size of the street lamp bulb as viewed from my front porch.

I observed the object to be just outside of the downtown Rochester city limits.

Within seconds of stopping behind the street lamp it reversed direction in the same gliding but swift motion. It covered a couple of miles in 2 seconds. When it appeared again from behind houses and trees it was only only displaying two white lights on the starboard and port side. It continued to head SW and out of sight.

White glowing sphere hovering for at least 3 hours around Rochester Airport around 3am

Early Friday morning, May 1, 2020 I happened to glance out the window early morning only to notice a sphere-like object hovering in the sky. At first I thought I was exaggerating but I could not stop watching it. Immediately I felt the need to start recording this object. My husband was laughing at me until he walked over and watched through the window with me. He became intrigued pretty fast as it was truly interesting. This object stayed there for at least the next 3 hours. As I had to get ready and get to work, I couldn’t continue to watch and daylight was coming. I tried my best to get the best images/ videos possible and in one part of the video- (about 1:35 into the video at the bottom towards the right) there seems to be some white object shooting up towards the light, extremely fast. I only noticed it after watching the video for the 3rd time. I don’t know if this object has any significance or not but it’s definitely noticeable once it catches your eye!

Continuous line of 10-15 satellite-like objects moving steadily and evenly-spaced across the sky

Witnessed on April 8, 2019 at about 9:45pm.

I was sitting outside looking up at the sky when I noticed what I assumed was a satellite traveling along the sky, headed from Northwest to Southeast or so. I looked away for a moment and lost sight of it upon looking back up. I began searching the sky in that area to see if I could catch it again, but instead I saw another one coming from where the previous one had just come. I watched that one for a moment and after traveling along for maybe about 10 seconds (toward whatever dipper constellation that’s currently above my neighborhood actually) it seemed to just sort of vanish, despite there being no cloud cover.

I then realized that there was another one coming from the same area with yet another following behind it. These were all traveling at the same rate of speed, which would be extremely fast for how far away they were, and were equally spaced apart. I witnessed up to three at the same time. They all traveled the same path and disappeared in the same general area. I watched this happen continuously for at least five minutes and, while I didn’t count them, there would have been 10 or more that I saw. I then saw three more come from further south, then travel toward where the others had headed and disappear in the same general area. There were no flashing or colored lights that I saw on any of them, nor did I see any evidence of exhaust, smoke or contrails behind any of them. There were also no accompanying noises. I tried to capture video, however my phone was unable to detect the objects.

I am a 30 year old caucasian female and was not under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or substances otherwise at the time of my observation. I live in a residential neighborhood that is two miles south of Lake Ontario and have never witnessed anything like this before.

Me and my friends were chilling outside in our front yard at night time around 23:00 hours. As we looked up at the sky, we seen a triangular shaped object flying in the sky just off route 104. We were in the town of Ontario, NY. The unknown object then did a circular turn and changed lights and speed. We were all shocked and nervous when we saw this. We didn't know who to call. The object then projected a beam of white light and then it vanished. We waited outside longer to see if it would reappear and it did. This time it was two of them.

I was taking a photograph of the sunset when I saw something in the left corner. After I took the picture I looked to the sky and it disappeared. The picture was live so I turned it into a video image and have emailed this for you to look at. I’m not sure what it is but the way it moved when I wasn’t moving the camera was strange and lights lit up on it, and there’s some strange movement underneath it telling me it was a reflection in the lens.

All the lights looked to be at sub-orbital or orbital height, my background is in the Air force controlling air craft in the field and now i work for the government.

25+ lights in a direct line appeared at intervals and traveled north east.

The first lights were seen in the north east sky near the lacerta constellation. Only two of them to start but after that at regular intervals more appeared from seemingly nowhere. All in a straight direct line going north east at a regular pace. There were no sounds or flashing lights. They all had the same or similar point of origin in the sky. I had stopped to count them and by the time i had to leave or be late I had counted at least 27 and there were more showing up. Once I got in the road and checked the similar area in the sky they seemed to have stopped appearing and the ones that were there had disappeared. I am not sure if they went over the horizon as I had homes and trees blocking move of my horizontal view.

Bright light moving erratically in all directions. I told myself my eyes were playing games and it wasn’t moving like I thought, so I shut one eye and didn’t move my head and positioned my head so I could barely see it on the edge of the window and it keeps moving in and out of sight.

Bright light would occasionally change color and brightness. Clouds could account for brightness change but I simply can’t explain the odd flying patterns in all directions. Have very grainy cell video. Difficult to make out but odd movement still noticeable. Doubtful someone would be flying a drone around 1:30 am in rural southern MN so high in the air..? Object appeared NW of Rochester, MN.

ufo followed me home and parked on my property!

I was driving home from Centraila, Wa ,about 11:30pm. I got off I-5, and took exit 88 highway 12 west, toward Rochester, WA.

I stopped at the 1st light, and saw what I thought, were weird light reflections in the clouds, they were pale yellow orbs bouncing all over the sky, my husband said they were most likely from a spot light. As we drove farther west I noticed that the orbs were just to the south of us about a mile or so and were brighter, and were closer together now traveling a little ahead and to the southwest of us, as we entered the town I realized this was one ship, and the lights were much brighter although still above the clouds, we made a left, and then turned back west on our street, I thought the object was still in town.

Our road is curvy, and as I made the second curve,I almost wrecked the car! I caught sight of the craft just to the left of me and a bit ahead.

I almost wrecked the car! we were the only ones on the road and the object was now just above the clouds, and you could see 6 white lights rotating in a pattern and 4 red lights that spun, then the white lights ran to the inside or center of the craft, made a star formation,then reversed direction and made a circle around the center star like light.

This thing stayed in the cloud cover, never coming out into the bare sky, so I never saw the whole thing.

As we took a left into our driveway and parked, the craft stopped and hovered, literally, 200 feet above us and 100 feet next to us, just above our pasture.

the lights slowed down, and as we got of the car, it looked like it was coming down, by the way it made no noise, had no wind there was no engine noise at all! at this point we both decided it was best to get inside.

We got the dogs out of the kennel, and took them in the house, they had been raising holy hell, and were franic! I decided to go out side and see if the craft had left, it was no longer at the front of the property and I did not see it at first.

This made me feel better and I walked out to the street and headed west to see if I could see where it went, as I walked up the road I looked to the left and looked out at our pasture, and saw at least, 25 rays of light pointing up to the sky, they were like spotlights and were bouncing all over the place! the craft was now on the ground behind the barn so I could not see it, but I knew there were no lights out there like that! I took off for the house and told my husband we needed to leave, he agreed and we got the dogs loaded and took off down to the next cross street, we turned left to go to highway 12 and the craft went right over us heading due west, and then it just disappeared! I am still shaken up, and just a bit afraid they will come back.

A car was parked at the corner of the cross street and moon road and he had a cell phone in his hand so someone got it on camera, The whole encounter lasted 30 mins,

2 UFO falling sightings in 1.5 hrs in Rochester, IL

At around 10:45 pm on 5/10/19 my friend and I where standing outside when I noticed a bright orb falling into the woods behind the field of my neighbor's house. The orb was a hazy white color with a pale green glow around it and a skippy fire looking trail as it went down. The trail had more of an orange glow. My friend did not witness the first one as she had her back to the woods. There was no sound to the falling object which was weird considering its appearing size (looked to be the size of a small car). I insisted she stay outside with me and watch the area of the sky with me because I had never seen anything like it. We ended up going inside after about 15 minutes later. About 1.5 hours later we went back outside to smoke and we both witnessed the same sight, roughly in the same area of sky, maybe a couple miles to the right of the previous one. They looked identical except the 2nd one looked closer. Again there was no sound to accompany the falling o! bject. No other sightings throughout the night.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

I was in the passenger side of a Jeep driven by my brother. We were driving home to our fathers house from our mothers house and had turned right onto Carter Rd. in Penfield.

Going down Carter Rd. we saw 3 bright white lights just above the tree line. At first we assumed it was a regular aircraft and said nothing. After 10 seconds it become clear it was traveling low as it was changing position quickly. It moved in a steady straight path as we drove until it was at our right hand side after 20-30seconds down carter rd.

We exchanged words such as "do you see that too?" And when it became clear this was an unusual event my brother pulled over on the shoulder of the road to get a better view. Just as he pulled over it was passing by us in a smooth unbroken path and we saw it very close potentially less than 200 feet away.

The reason im taking the time to write this is because I think this next part is important. We saw the lights reflection off of the "hull" and saw the light of the sky, stars etc was black between the 3 lights such that it became visually clear this was one solid object. It gradually disappeared over the trees out of sight going North North East towards Rochester.

We later both drew pictures of what we saw when we arrived home. The pictures showed triangle shapes with 3 lights on either corner. To this day this experience has left me confused and upset.

usual bright star in the sky.

Getting up at 5am to go to the gym. Trying to wake myself up, stepped out my front door to smoke a cigarette.

Directly across my front door in the sky was a very bright star like light that was a bright yellow white. Lower than a star though. It was in a area of the sky that the planes turn around to land at the Rochester airport. So my first thought was it was a plane turning around like they do.

Again, this unusually bright star was BRIGHT, kinda flickering and in that plane turn around area in the sky right near Lake Ontario.

While watching this bright light it slowly faded away and disappeared. It never moved from its spot in the sky. At that time I assumed it was a plane turning around but 15 seconds later it slowly faded back to its full brightness. It did this multiple times not moving from its spot in the sky for about 15 min.

I continued to check on it while I was getting ready it eventually disappeared after a hour of this. I didn't see it leave but was definitely unusual.

The sky was clear that morning, no clouds and was still dark.

I didn't think to take a picture or thought it was weird at the time because I assume it must be explainable. When I got up the next morning and went to smoke it wasn't there so definitely wasn't a star.

Saw and heard what appeared to be a non-human entity.

Checking email before heading to bed after a fun night of video games. Did not feel stressed, overly tired, or creeped out at all - just ready to go to sleep. I heard heavy breathing behind me at my office door - not human. I assumed that it was my dog. She is usually locked up in a room during the night, but the room can be easily opened from the outside by pushing on the door, and my cat sometimes lets the dog out. I turned around, ready to talk to my dog, and saw a non-human face (grey, elongated features, can't remember the eyes). It was so alarming that I jumped out of my chair and grabbed an object. When I turned back to the door, it was gone. I have tried telling myself that it wasn't real, and I have refused to tell anyone for fear of being ostracized. No noticeable signs of a craft (audible or visual). Strange and quickly disappearing scratch marks the next morning (scratches were white in a red blotchy area rather than red).

On August 10, 2018. I was facing east by the Genesee River, when I saw an object flying north to south very quickly also going up and down behind the tree line in the same manner.

Stopping on a dime. Also had solid red green and orange lights and made no sound.

It was amazing never seen that before and I have seen cool jets, choppers, and other things flying in the Marine corps. Thanks.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Orb of yellowish light that turned blueish green. Disappeared and reappeared 3 times in night sky.

In the clear Western sky, I saw what looked like a very bright star or planet, but it was more yellow than white and seemed to flicker. I watched for a minute or two and it disappeared then reappeared.

I went outside and took some pictures and video with my phone. Zooming in it was definitely not a star or planet. It changed colors and seemed like a light with a glowing aura that changed colors, yellow to a blueish green and back to yellow. Each time it appeared it would be in the same vicinity, but not in the exact same place. It stayed in the same place but appeared to me moving in place if that makes sense.

I filmed for 42 seconds and it disappeared on film. I did not move the phone. Then it came back for a third and final time and I filmed for over 3 minutes zooming in and out to try to get a better focus. I stopped filming and then filmed another minute or so and it appeared to be moving and fading in and out until it disappeared again.

On the 3 minute video, an anomaly occurred that was only evident after viewing it after the fact. There is one second that something like a cloud or a vapor passes closely in front of the camera, but the orb never disappears in the far distance. There were no clouds or mist around me while filming so I have no idea what it was.

About 20 minutes after it disappeared completely, large aircraft began circling the area where I saw it and I also have some footage of that, too. The only thing going on that night near that vicinity was the Indian Reservation was setting off some loud fireworks, but nothing like you see on the 4th of July. It looked more like lightening. This orb was off to the right a good distance away and low in the sky, but high enough for me to think it was a star or a planet.

Most people are telling me it's a drone, but I haven't seen footage of drones behaving in this manner or that were this large.

I am willing to share the footage, but I don't see where to upload it to this report. Please let me know if you would like to see it.

I was with my friend and we were in my backyard which is a very wooded area and it was pretty dark but we were just going for a walk. And we saw in the sky 3 weird objects that I can't explained an it looked like it was just swaying and swinging itself in the sky.to be honest I thought it was a shooting star until it began sinking to the ground slowly followed by a loud bang and me and my friend ran back home, we were terrified.

I saw a bright white tic tac in the sky, silently flying west to east in Rochester, Michigan.

I was walking my neighbors dog. It was still light out at 8:10pm eastern time or 20:00, with a blue sky and a few scattered clouds. I looked up at the sky as I do often and noticed a object very high, flying from west to east.

At first I thought it was a plane or even a drone. The more I looked I noticed there was no noise, no engine sound, no contrail, and no chemtrail. It was silent.

I kept watching and I realized planes and drones are not egg or tic tac shaped. It was all bright white. Not lit up white but just white like a tic tac. No lights at all. The object flew straight, west to east, no zig zagging, or turns.

It suddenly disappeared into a clear sky as if it there one second and gone the next.

I'm not even sure what I saw, but I know for sure it wasn't a plane.

Triangle UFO seen above Rochester, NY.

On February 21st, 2018, at around 8:30pm-ish, my two friends and I witnessed a triangular shaped UFO near St. John Fisher College. The object was a large black triangle, with a bright light on each end of the object. The object also had grey lines on the bottom, which were visible as a result to the light.

My friend pointed it out to us and thought it was a drone. The more we looked at the object, we realized that it was not a drone, it had to be something else. We were only able to look at the object for about 15 secs because it vanished out of no where.

They appeared to be positioned in the direction of Barrington or Madbury, but distance was difficult to ascertain. No contrails or aircraft outlines were observed.

After viewing the lights for about 15-20 seconds, both vanished simultaneously and did not reappear.

Box-shaped UFO Low to Ground with 2 Red & 2 Blue Lights on Bottom Crosses 490 in Rochester

On aforementioned date and time, my friend and I were on our way to a bar in downtown Rochester. We both were completely sober at this time. We were traveling in a westerly direction through the Park Avenue area of Rochester on the 490 North freeway. It was already completely dark outside, except for some ambient streetlight/city light. The UFO was traveling in a Northeasterly direction at approximately 25mph and we were traveling about 65mph.

I first noticed the UFO as we were driving along listening to music. At first I said nothing as I noticed the object had no flashing lights, which I've never seen before on any type of flying craft. As soon as I realized this, I said to my friend half jokingly "look a UFO". I pointed it out to him and then turned down the music. Just as I did this the bottom lights came more into view, and I could clearly see 4 large in diameter lights mounted on the bottom of the UFO making a perfect square. The 2 lights leading the way were red, and the 2 lights following were blue. They were very close to the color of red and blue police lights, however they were large solid lights (not beams or spotlights) that did not blink.

The UFO flew just about directly over us as I continued to stare and make as many detailed mental notes as possible while my friend looked as often as he could (he was driving). My friend immediately agreed that it was very strange and that he had never seen anything like it.

We tried to go over what it could possibly be, but since there were no blinking lights (which are required by law on all aircraft) and since the speed was so slow, the only possibility I thought would be a police helicopter, except several things didn't fit. We heard no helicopter sounds at all, and this UFO only appeared to be about 200-300ft above the ground. I also researched heavily into what this might be, and nothing matched, including the police helicopters used in the area.

I later asked my friend to describe exactly what he saw so that I could get an independent description of the object. He immediately said it was "box-shaped" with 2 red lights and 2 blue lights on the bottom. I personally couldn't make out anything other than the lights and the square shape surrounding the lights, however I was only focused on the lights, whereas he saw a box shaped object with lights underneath. Some other information: the UFO appeared to be about 30ft x 30ft squared on the bottom. The 4 lights took up all of the space on the bottom of the UFO, which would mean each light had a diameter of about 15ft x 15ft.

They are Watching and Walking among us and we don't see them in plain sight

Hi I thought for some time what I saw was - something rare but natural It looked very very ODD even more disturbing no one else seem to notice Perfect Circular Cloud Ring with very bright light shining down from above I was scared a little and pissed because I had just taken my camcorder out of my Van to charge it before I left for the city - I wanted to turn around drive 100mph get my sony trv240 camcorder and go back and record it..

I have been a star gazer my whole life I love looking up I have seen some amazing cloud formations I always thought was natural But as I look back In light of the new videos leaked to the public etc....

One thing stands out each time a sighting it seems to be involving clouds are they creating them to hide them self's I saw this on yahoo news https://www.yahoo.com/news/leaked-navy-video-appears-show-211241985.html That photo - circle with light That is pretty much exactly what I saw I was scared because no one seemed to notice it but me I pointed it out to a few drivers who seemed to not notice or care Over the past few years since I saw it and a few other weird things happening I shrugged off as natural / mother nature I began noticing people around me some staring at me with an angry a piercing stare -- some pointing their finger at me I have long suspected they are walking among us I have suspected missing people years ago were gathered up to study - breed etc..

so they can walk among us un- detected amazing unique people with extra ordinary skills gifts talent size strength etc...

people who have led us into the computer chip world products etc....

What if all this is right..?? Star Trak - the one where they had a hidden / cloaked building in the mountain studying the people and Data when to expose them / save the people etc...something like that as our technology - more traveling - cameras etc.. more and more we are seeing things we could not see The writings / pictures on the walls Egypt etc...

given everything In a court of Law where evidence to be preponderance it frees a man or convicts a man so must it be proof that it's real than NOT..

I still see people staring at me some quickly turning to me for no reason and just watching me as if to suggest (( we are watching you )) keep silent

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large craft, and separate red lights, in the early morning sky.

Driving 490 West on the East side of the Genesee River, I first noticed a formation of white lights, as if the object had multiple lights, brighter white lights on the outside with smaller white lights outlining what looked to be a large craft. I could not see the craft, only the white lights. The lights were unmoving, unwavering and not blinking.

Prior to this, while driving through Fairport, I had seen a moving object, which looked similar, however I dismissed it as an airplane, as it was flying in the direction of the airport.

Shortly after seeing this larger object, I noticed several, I was driving so couldn't really stare at them, but there were a minimum of 10 bright red lights in the sky to the south of the highway, sporadically hanging in the sky. They were intensely bright and some were moving around. Visually they looked like a column of red lights there were simply not in a row, and they ranged from close to the rooftops to well into the sky.

HELLO at approximately 21:30, my fiance and I were sitting on our deck. We had looked up at the sky and seen this bright amber colored fire type light. It had to be about 25-35 feet above tree level. We really got us is that after the first had gone by a second one had past about 2 minutes later and then a third about 2 minutes after that. All headed in the same direction to. NOW I know it was not a Chinese lantern because of its speed and it's pretty windy for a flame to stay lit!! Can't stress this part enough. On top of that there was absolutely no sound. We don't know what it could of been, but got our attention enough for me to look up what it could of been and ask questions. This is my first stop to post this. ANY suggestions? It was only one color to that amber fire color, so this has me baffled!

3 lights connected by lines of light. Can't see stars though it. Moves in all directions. Clearly not a plane, helicopter, or satellite

We were looking for shooting stars by the Isanglass River and we saw something moving sparatically, so we watched it and it's stayed in the same area but moves all around. There is one white bright light and two green ones in a formation of a triangle. There seems to be lines of light between the three triangular points of lights It moves all around and the bright white light seems to be the front of it. It's pretty big too. Sometimes it stops then moves fast again. It's been here for over an hour over our heads. It sways back and forth and sometimes backs up and goes forward. There's no stars showing between the three lights which suggets a solid object.

Location: Rochester, NH, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects, Emitted beams, Aircraft nearby

A large black triangle with three lights that hovered around us for over 2 hours. A solid object that made no sound.





My daughter and I went out to view the Perseid Meteor Shower late on Thursday, August 11, at a small park in Rochester N.H., and while we were looking overhead toward the South we spotted a small light moving slowly in all directions. As we watched we realized it wasn’t moving away from us. After a few minutes we realized it was shaped like a triangle with a bright light toward the front and two dimmer, green-tinted lights in the back. We also noticed that there were very faint green lines forming the triangle and connecting the three dots. It was a solid object and the lights never changed distances from one another.

The movement did not resemble a helicopter, airplane, satellite, drone or anything we had ever seen fly in the area before. It made no noise that we could hear and it clearly had nothing to do with the meteor shower. It in no way looked like a shooting star. Sometimes it moved quickly to the left or right. Sometimes it moved forward in the direction of the brightest light and then backed away in the direction of the two green lights. However, it always remained above us with no real pattern of movement.

We were in an open field surrounded by trees and it remained above the open area from 11:45 p.m. on Aug. 11, and we left the scene on Aug. 12 at 1:57 a.m.

At one point it seemed to not only move toward the spot where we were sitting, but down towards us. It then quickly backed away again to its original spot in the sky.

While it did move some distance, it never left our sight and was almost always directly above our heads.

I made phone calls to the Pease Air Force base nearby and asked them to look to see if they saw anything on radar or any other equipment. However, they said they could only see flight plans and transponders. The man on the phone said he would look into our sighting further.

We also called the Rochester Police Department and they responded with three vehicles. The officers observed our UFO and somewhat laughed it off, but nicely. Both the police officers and the man from the Pease Air Force Base wondered if it might be a drone, but I do not know of any drones that are solid, triangular with three lights. It flew in so many directions for such a long period of time and made no noise of any kind. In any event, our sighting was documented by an airport and the local police.

Through the entire event the object never moved very quickly, but it did change speeds and stop and start again.

My daughter noticed that there was a grey coloring in the solid area between the lights. She also so on the side of the triangle lights, smaller rectangular lights separated almost like windows.

This was the first UFO sighting that either of us has ever experienced. We saw no evidence of aliens. All we saw was the object itself.

From what the police told me later, they had many calls from other citizens who saw the ufo and one called this national reporting hotline as well.

The police also said that Rochester has no drones nor does the New Hampshire State Police. They also said that the military would have informed them of any surveillance going on in the city. They had no military notifications that night.


((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS))

Here are two of our pictures...Only the bright light in the front of the triangle was visible on the phone camera picture but there it is. We have other pictures but they all look similar. We tried taking video and I'll look at those next as well. Here are the two pictures we managed to get.

((ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS))

Hi Peter,

This is my written report that I put together when I got home the night of Aug. 12. From what my daughter said you may not have received it. The written report that you received, while it was happening, was hers. She said it was mine because she was embarrassed to put her name on anything. I'm going to send it in this e-mail with an attached microsoft word document as well.

((END ADDENDUM #2))

((ADDENDUM #3 FROM WITNESS))

We first saw it on Aug. 11 at 11:45 p.m. and kept on watching it until almost 2 a.m. on Aug. 12. If it makes it easier we saw it for more time on Aug. 12. Hope this helps.

((END ADDENDUM #3))

((ADDENDUM #4 FROM WITNESS))

I'm really glad to help. I've never dreamed of seeing anything so weird in my life and I want to know what others think of it. The thing that strikes me most is that I never heard of a black triangle up to our sighting. I have since done a lof of research and see they have been around a long long time, before any drones were in the hands of the public. I truly don't believe that huge triangle was a citizen's drone. It was something much more. It was just too big and too quiet. I saw a video from Concord, NH, with a triangle that was similar to ours, but it was taken in daytime. There have been so many of these sightings in NH and the East Coast. Why is that? Very very interesting and very very strange.

((END ADDENDUM))

((ADDENDUM #5 FROM WITNESS))

It was much larger than the moon in the sky above us. To me it seemed as big as a football field, maybe a few football fields, high in the sky and way above the trees. It flew higher than the small planes. It dwarfed the small planes that flew around us all night. As it hovered over us, we got very nervous, even scared, as it moved lower towards us, almost like we feared it was going to fall on us. My daughter was making strange noises for a short portion of the 2 hours we saw it. I also remember my heart racing a few times and my hands were trembling like I had too much caffeine? My voice was trembling when I talked to you on the hotline, and it was hard to catch my breath. I had a sick feeling in my stomach, but I was so excited to see it at the same time. She wanted to leave but I wouldn't go. I couldn't take my eyes off the thing. I also forgot to mention that at the end it did move out of the area very slowly to the North and out of our view. The police saw the tail end of it all. Actually it seemed to move away more directly when the police cars arrived in the parking lot with their headlights and flashlights aimed at the object.

Out star gazing with the family in the back yard. Bight light comes over our tree line, bright white like a plane, but no blinking lights or noise would hear with a plane that low.

Watched as it flew over us and slowly the light started to fade on it.

Just when it got right over us it disappeared completely, and we all saw it happen.

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Changed Color, Aircraft nearby, Landed

Started with 1 light on east horizon, followed it, grew to countless lights over 2 hours, along with close encounter ground sighting.

It started with one light, redish/orangish/white hovering over the horizon while me and my friend were parked on my road, facing east. I live on the east outskirts of Rochester. It was staying in the same area but floating, dipping, and swooping around. You could tell it was far away. I pointed it out to ((friend's name deleted)) and she saw it too, and it proceeded to swoop around and dip up and down erratically. We both saw it moving.

I was really excited and made her drive closer to where it was. We drove closer, heading east until we weren't really in Rochester any longer, more Buckhart area. I lost view of the light on the way. When our view became clear again, we parked facing the side of the sky we saw it in, the south east whole sector of the sky. I couldn't find it and then I noticed it in a different part of the sky, much higher. We watched this light dance around for awhile. It moved in ways impossible to any technology we have. ((friend's name deleted)) saw it too. We were watching the one light fly erratically.

Both of us keep thinking we glimpse other similar lights moving but aren't sure. The one light is flying over the horizon at a steady speed in one direction, then it slowly fades away and seems to dissappear. Another (or the same) light pops up much higher in a totally different direction in the sky. Then we both saw the second one. Same color of light, same behavior. I was ecstatic. At this point it was clear that these could not be planes or helicopters. And then they kept appearing--they just kept popping up. These different lights, all the same color, all differing moment to moment in brightness and dimness, sometimes becoming so dim as to be invisible.

They all flew the same style--drunk alien, but never in sync; they would swoop, reverse directions in an instant, dip up and down. There were no formations to be seen or apparent organization. Sometimes the speed of their movement was shocking, given how far away they were they had to be covering huge distances in an instant. Some would move in a general direction, but erratically. At one point I could have sworn a fighter jet was pursuing one of them, but I couldn't be sure and ((friend's name deleted)) didn't notice it. I tried to keep count and I got to 8 before I couldn't count them due to the number and the extreme dimness of some of them. I kept trying to explain it to ((friend's name deleted)), but I don't think she will ever understand how much of a big deal this kind of shit is to me.

The sky was alive with dancing spaceships.

We were there for maybe two hours. I could not stop watching, it was like being in a trance. So I was watching the dance of the spaceships when I noticed a light in the sky coming from behind us (high, moving from NW to SE toward the spaceships. It was different-- bigger, and blinking one light and one color in steady pulses, and moving at a steady speed and direction. I assumed it's a plane but I watched it because something seemed odd about it. It's not like a light ON it is blinking, it's like the entire vessel is blinking. And the color is like an old yellow light, like the color cast by old light bulbs. I notice in between the blinks it appears to glow a very dull red. It changes directions and comes in towards the ships. I watch a spaceship closest to the incoming big yellow light and the strangest thing happens, the spaceship seems to become aware of the new interloper, and it swept towards it and back in a few motions, and then IT STARTED BLINKING BACK AT THE SHIP. And both blinked differently, like they were shaking hands or trading information of some kind, with different rythyms and frequency and color. This was the first time we saw any of the fireballs blink. They blinked a bright white. Then the big yellow ship came in closer to the other ships and slowed down to a stop were it hovered and bobbed. As it did this, two more spaceships swooped in close to it and began their own unique blinking response. So clearly it was another UFO, but different from the rest. After it delivered it's message or whatever it flew away (SE to NE and seemed to go higher than any plane ever could) where it seemed to become a still star.

At this point, I couldn't take it and I called my dad to make him come outside the house and try to see what I was seeing. This was also a really strange aspect. Once my dad came outside, the brightest of the spaceships all started blinking red and white, like airplanes. They also chose a general direction and stuck with! it, though their speed fluctuated. It was funny because they all blinked with no rhythm or steady pulse to them. Long story short, all he sees is airplanes of course. He goes back in and I get off the phone with him and the ships go back to normal and start moving more.

At several points, I made reference points by holding up my thumb or my phone still under the light in the sky, this was an easy way to see that they were moving relative to the motionless point. I can't explain what I saw, but we saw it and it was amazing. A two hour dance that started with one little light.

GROUND SIGHTING, AS WE LEAVE: [A NOTE: we did not see any ship approach the ground or come close to landing] Right before we leave a big solid white orb light maybe a hundred yards behind us floods us with light. I sa,y "What the fuck was that?" because it disappeared quickly and Kaitie said a car. But the light hadn't come from the road. It was directly behind us, close to a house on the other side of the road. Then we were getting ready to pull out, and it floated out from behind the house. My first impression was it was just someone with a light, but it was much too bright. And it floated. It glided. It came out from behind the house and started coming towards us. We're talking the brightest white light you've ever seen, on the other side of the road not 70 yards away. Then it's gone. Two seconds of darkness ... and then it comes back on-- except it's glowing blood red now, and more dim because of the duller color of the red. There was no indication of anything producing the light. I was a little scared and we drove away, leaving the red light back there.

That is the end of this report, but I feel the need to mention what happened the next night from my bedroom window. Kaitie was there again: Over the cornfield in front of my house around 11 PM two lights hovering over the ground appeared and acted erratically. One was bright and white, much similar to what we saw so close to us on the ground. The other one was orange, and very odd at first appearance. It looked to be a bright orange ball constructed of paper with a fire blazing inside of it. It acted the most erratic in flight before both became almost entirely still. They stayed until day started to come, and as the light of day grew, they receded into the distance until they were tiny pinpricks, and then nothing.

I have no pictures but if they come again I plan to walk up to them and try and take a picture/just get closer.

Yellow/orange bright light over Rochester, NY.

Taking out the garbage noticed a bright light in the sky low in the horizon. It was yellow to light orange in color. No sound. It was about as bright as Sirius.

I first noticed it behind tree line above neighbor’s house. I was facing south and it was moving west to east. I thought it was a low plane but the light was very bright. It was a traveling strait and must have been higher because it went behind the clouds. I did not see it exit the clouds.

Stars were really bright that night and the clouds were scattered.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Square or diamond shaped object hovering and moving very fast over Rochester, NY. 12/23/15 7:30 p.m. ET

I was walking into an apartment building and noticed a very bright green light sitting still in the sky at what appeared to be maybe 7 to 10 thousand feet high. Just based on the brightness of the light and the fact that it was sitting stationary in the sky, I immediately pulled out my phone and started filming.

I then watched for the next 12 or 13 minutes as this thing blew my mind. It appeared to be square, or diamond in shape. It changed from green to red then back to green in no real pattern. It did not make a sound.

It traveled from one side of the city to the entire other in under 10 seconds. It dropped so low that it was out of my sight for a few minutes, then rose as if someone had a string attached to it and yanked it upward. I would say 1,000 feet to 10,000 feet in under 3 seconds.

As it got close enough to me to really make it out I could tell the body of it was black, there were four huge perfect circle lights on the bottom, two red and two green, but at times there would be either no green or no red. I also saw a flashing white or maybe even amber colored light on the back? Maybe front? I am basing the size on a passenger jet which flew through the same vicinity as the craft moments after it disappeared which I also caught on video and I would say that it was half to 3/4 the size of the airplane which was a full size jet plane. It also appeared to be traveling 15 to 20 times faster than that plane which was descending to land and much much higher. This happened in Rochester NY and I witnessed it from the suburb Greece, NY. It was mostly south of my location, but at times traveled far enough north east (in under 10 seconds mind you) that I had to turn my whole body and face Irondequoit, NY, which is east of Greece, to keep recording it.

I stopped a passing car and asked the young lady to look up and tell me what she sees so I know i'm not going crazy and she watched it for about 5 seconds, said oh my God that's a ufo! I said thank u for confirming and she promptly pulled away as if she was nervous. The craft made a lot of erratic movements. Stopping on a dime, zig zag patterns at times, shifting as if on an axis. At one point it started heading right at me and had me nervous enough to start walking back towards the apartment building for safety. It was acting as if it were investigating or searching for something.

Truly a life altering experience for me, felt absolutely nothing like a drone which is the infamous explanation i'm getting for this. I own a drone. I know what they can do. I know there's a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and uses for them. This was not that.

Oh and I don't know if this relevant or not but I experienced a really bad headache about an hour after the event which would not go away to the point that I had to take tylenol for it. I NEVER EVER have headaches that lead me to have to medicate. Cannot remember one time in life. I don't know if it was just from all the excitement or what.

On the night of Nov. 20th, at approximately 5 pm (1700 hrs), I was at work and was informed by a fellow employee that there was something in the sky, and that it looked like it might be on fire.

I stopped what I was doing and went outside where another employee was already out there and watching a reddish/orange what I thought was a star, possibly Venus.

He informed me that there had been 2 of these objects but the other one had disappeared from view. He also told me that they had been closer and larger in size and so were moving away.

I continued watching and realized it couldn't be Venus as it appeared to be moving slowly and changing in brightness, from a dull orange to a brighter orange and then back to dull again.

There were some clouds in the sky and it was getting dark but I noticed the clouds seemed to be very high in the sky and after about 5 minutes the orange object started to noticeably pick up speed and disappeared behind the clouds.

We watched for a few more minutes but the object didn't return. I went outside a few more times that evening but never saw the object again.

Unexplained Lights Over Rochester, New York

At about 7:50 p.m., on Saturday night, October 24th, 2015, I walked out of Marketplace Mall in Rochester, New York by the Macy's. I looked up above the mall building and saw many flashes of lights. They would change from dim to brighter every few seconds as if they were passing through clouds. I watched this for nearly ten minutes before I had to go somewhere.

On a cloudy night in Minnesota I was on my back patio looking up towards the west for any stars and a light came into view that I assumed was a star until my eyes adjusted. I noticed it was in the shape of a bird soaring and it was moving slowly towards the east. It was moving about the speed of a plane and after about 3 seconds it disappeared behind a cloud.

I just tried to shrug it off until a few seconds later I saw another farther down the sky and another flying very closely by it. One disapeared as if into thin air and the other disapeared passed the clouds. As the clouds moved I saw a few more come into view,a few at the same time and a few going faster before disapearing.

I kept looking up for about 30 minutes; I didn't see anything else but I saw about 7-10 of these flying lighted objects within 5 minutes.

Yellow/Orange/White sphere seen by 3 in Rochester NH

Last evening, 10/12/2015, I went out to my truck to get a bag of groceries when I noticed a bright, flashing light. It was strobing, then it would stop and go very bright, then strobe again. It was a white/yellow/orange combination of light. It was just sitting there in the North East just above the tree line. I ran into our house and got my wife, she came out to the front of our home, watched it with me for about 30 seconds, then it moved to the North.

We could no longer see it from the front of our house so we went out to our back deck and was able to see it just over the trees. It was very, very bright, moving funny. A little to the left, then up, then back. After about 2 to 3 minutes, right before our eyes, it vanished! At this time our daughter came over and wanted to know what we were doing, we told her what we saw. After about 5 minutes of scanning the sky, BAM, it repapered right where it had vanished. It seemed much brighter, moving a bit erratic and strobing faster. After about 2 to 3 minutes, it moved up and to the north, then in a second vanished again. We watched for another 10 to 15 minutes but it never came back.

What we did notice is that after about 20 minutes after in vanished for the last time, there were a number of airplanes!! We did not see one in the sky while we were watching the “UFO”, but after we counted at least 8 in the sky over and around where we saw the light. Our son is very much into UFO’s and told us that when something like this happens and you see a number of planes, something defiantly is going on. We are going to continue to monitor the sky every night for a while to see if it comes back.

Bright orange orbs hoovering and zipping through the atmosphere with ease.

I was standing in my yard and as I looked to the sky I saw an bright orange orbs hoovering and suddenly began zipping around the sky with ease and precision, I ran back into my house frantically trying to explain the situation to my brother, who took his time getting outside, but sure enough the orb was still out there.

By time I thought to turn on my camera phone, I was only able to capture about ten seconds of footage before the Orb shot out of the atmosphere. As me and my brother starred at each other speechless, no more than ten seconds after the solo Orb took off, four of the exact same orbs slowly rose up from the tree line, in a semi V formation, and seconds after slowly rising all orbs simultaneously began again, effortlessly zipping through the night sky both side to side and up and down.

As the multiple Orb feat was so astounding, when I attempted to capcapture more footage with my cellphone, I unfortunately forgot to press the record button,due to over excitement. Therefore, the initial single orb sighting is all I was able to capture.

Many star like things wiggling in the sky at 12am till ??? I couldn't stay up to wait to watch them jet off or whatever.

I've been gazing at the stars my whole life , I'm 33 , and never saw this before. At 12am I saw many, what looked like typical stars but looked closer than usual which got my attention and as I watched I saw them slightly adjust their position in the sky. I saw 1 single yellowish one to the east adjust up , down, left and right.

Then another 2 off far to the left one bigger than the other, moving the same way almost battling each other but never switching sides, almost like they were playing pong.

Then noticed to more sets on different parts of the sky, at least 12 set up in a triangular shape with smaller ones inside the formed shape, then 3 more in a straight line up and down very slowly moved across the east to north. Don't believe me, just stare at the sky tonight, you'll ((deleted)) be surprised.))

Seen 2 orange orbs passing NE to N each dropped 3 small bright objects then later I used a telescope because I seen 2 bright stars that were much brighter then the others. Through the telescope they were cross's, one bright center and 3 fainter to each side. With a stronger objective lens, I could see even fainter lights evenly space between the cross. They moved up and down the skys zenith slowly over a couple of hours, eventually they just kinda faded back until they were gone.

Video of the cross:

Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Rochester, MN, USA

Shape: Triangle


3 orange lights, forming a perfect triangle in the SW sky, without sound or motion.

I witnessed 3 glowing orange to red orange orbs to the SW. The 3 objects appeared to be independent of each other and oscillated at different intervals. I could not discern the presence of an overlaying craft (these did not appear to be lights attached to a craft of any kind).

The 3 orbs began as a single light and progressed in short fashion (maybe 10 minutes) in to 3, presented to me in the form of a perfect triangle in the sky. I did not see any apparent motion nor did I detect any sound resonating from the SW.

I initially had thought that the single orb was a forthcoming helicopter (mayo one does fly in this area) however, after seeing no motion and then witnessing the 3 in the sky, forming a perfect triangle, I knew that this was something completely different.

I'm not sure what I witnessed but the fact that it maintained a perfectly triangular shape and quickly disappeared, after 30 minutes had elapsed, left quite a lasting impression in my mind.

5 orange lights following the same path, seemed to die out as they progressed, seen by five people w/video.

We originally saw two red/orange lights in the sky. We thought it was a meteor shower and took a video.

We ultimately ended up seeing five. They all followed the same path. One sped up in front of another.

They all seemed to die out as they progressed, which is why we thought it was some sort of meteor shower, that and the red/orange colors.
