On September 23, 2020 approximately 10:30 PM we were standing outside looking south when we see a UFO flying a very slow speed heading north towards the LI sound, with green and white lights. When the UFO flew over my house it turned west and flew heading towards the city. Approximately 30 yrs this aircraft stopped what looked like a star, the lights from the aircraft that went black, 5 minutes later the star that I mentioned was not a star this UFO lit up like a Christmas tree and flew north. The aircraft that went dark now had its lights on and flew north, then from the south here comes a third one which only had white lights. The third UFO flew fast them stopped then took off out of sight. About an hour later the three UFO’s return and just sat in the sky with lights blinking on and off, these UFO’s were about some of the stars. Now I am afraid and I went into my house locked the doors. About 15 mins later we went back outside and all 3 UFO’s were gone.

For thee record, this is not the first time we seen this type of aircraft, UFO whatever you want to call it

Hovering black object seen in Ronkonkoma NY going eastbound on the Long Island Expressway

Around 6:20 p.m. on April 13th, 2017, in Ronkonkoma, NY, I was headed eastbound on the Long Island Expressway, when I noticed a strange object in the sky. The object looked like a plane at first, but then I noticed it was "hovering" over the one spot in the sky. I've never seen a plane hover and it wasn't a helicopter. It was certainly smaller than a plane, but bigger than a hand held drone.

It wasn't someone paragliding either (which is common in the region). It looked like a distorted shaped black object slightly elongated, just hovering in the sky.

I drove off the expressway and looped around and still could see it in relatively the same spot as I drove closer to it. I tried to get closer, but it ended up being blocked by the noise barrier walls.

I drove up further until it was in the view again, but it was gone by that point. This was near the Long Island MacArthur Airport but certainly was not a plane.

3 objects spotted over exit 59 on LIE

3 circular looking craft over the long island expressway near exit 59. The objects were arranged in a triangular formation, with 2 in perfect alignment and one slightly out of alignment, to form a sort of lopsided triangle. After seeing the objects, my view was blocked by a row of trees. When I circled back around to the same spot (approx. 2 minutes later), the objects were gone. Immediately following this event helicopters could be seen and heard circling the area.

Stange unidentified red flashing lights in Southern sky moving west

My wife & I were driving East on Portion road about 9:15 PM. I was the passager facing the Southern sky when I noticed 2 or 3 red flashing lights. They were defintely not planes.

I asked my wife to pull over into a parking lot near the Ronkonkoma Blockbuster. We got out of the car and I pointed to her those objects and she saw them too. They were traveling from the Southern Horizen on a course to the Western sky.

If they were planes they would have been close enought to hear an engine. NO sound was omitted from them

They had flashing to them with some white light but not like navigation lights on airplanes. One two reached the Western sky others came out from the Southern sky. About eight or nine by my account & my wife.

I contacted 911 but officer was not concerned.

10/30/2011 21:00 Ronkonkoma NY bright reddish orange round lights triangular formation UFO's 10/30/11

At approximately 9:05 pm On Sunday October 30th I went out to my car and noticed three bright orange lights in the sky traveling in a triangular shape about 45 degrees.

Each light was about 5 times larger than a star. Traveling southeast in the sky. The front bottom light took off first in a blink of an eye it was gone. The remaining two continued to travel southeast and disappeared at the same time.

The first two were approximately 2 moons apart in distance one on top of the other and the trailer light was approximately 4 to 5 moons behind.

As I ran to grab my camera to take a picture I was blocked by my neighbors light on the house and was unable to take the picture. The bottom light took off faster than the other two.

When I tried to take a picture of the other two they vanished.

Same object flashing red yellow green white for 90 min in NW sky daily since 9-23-08

I reported a sighting on 9/23/08 - This is the same thing and it appears every night since that night at the same time. I checked the J-track website to see if a satellite was what I was seeing. There were no visable satellites at that time. I called my mother who live 30 miles west of me and made her look at it. She could see that it was NW in the sky from her and was blinking slightly from red to white. It moves across the NW sky on long Island (north of the LIE)for about 90 minutes then is gone. Tonight I showed my husband and we looked through binoculars. It is egg shaped and has a series of lights flashing red-yellow-green and white around the perimeter. The center is black. I would love to know what this is. As stated it has been there every night to date from 9-23-08. I am sure it will be in the same spot tomorrow night moving the same pattern. Planes are also passing this object as there are 2 major airports in that direction. I am outside every night at that time with my dog I would have seen it prior to 9-23-08 which is the very 1st sighting.

Twinkling red/white bright star that moved ever so slightly for 30 minutes then dissapeared

I was in my yard on the phone at approx 9pm est on Tuesday evening when I noticed a twinkling large star in the sky west of me. As I talked on the phone I thought it was changing color from white to red so I assumed it was a plane. I realized that in 15 minutes it moved approx 1/2 inch towards the treeline ahead of me. I thought this was strange because several planes went past this object and hit the treeline with 2-3 seconds. I was mesmerized because I knew it was moving ever so slightly and changing colors from white to red. I watched it for 30 minutes (I was stationary sitting on my patio chair) then it just dissapeared instantly.

Shape: Rectangle


It was Thursday morning at 11:45 AM on the 5th of May 2005. I was parked in a shopping center waiting for my girlfriend to finish cashing her paycheck.

That’s when I saw a woman standing on the sidewalk in front of the store pointing up. I jumped out of my truck to see what she was pointing at. I saw an object that was rectangle in shape and was only around 50 feet above the light polls in the parking lot.

The object was around 2 feet wide 4 feet long and razor thin. It had a transparent texture with holes. In other words it looked like a rectangle frame covered in wax paper and the wax paper had all holes evenly spaced in it and only the outer rim of the hole would stand out. The centers of the holes were also transparent.

This object stayed in one spot rotating very slowly. As it rotated the sun would shine off its edges. This is what would keep you from loosing sight of it. The center did not reflect sunlight.

I was wondering why it wasn’t blowing around in the wind. The wind was around 10 miles and hour and gusty at times yet this object wasn’t affected by it.

Besides myself looking at this object, there was the lady who got my attention to look at it along with other people around her.

Suddenly after 5 minutes of watching this, it suddenly went straight up quite fast. If it wasn’t for the sun reflecting off its edges I would have lost it sooner.

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

A unidentified craft with multi-colored lights that hovered silently and could move at Incredible speeds,

A teenage friend (age 18) and myself (age17) were lying in the grass on our backs in a school playground at about 11:00 PM at night. After a short conversation about the days events, my friend ((name deleted)) pointed to a cloudless sky and told me that he learned about the location and names of constellations in Science class and began pointing out the Little Dipper and the names of certain other star formations for me.

As our eyes were scanning the horizion, my friend happened to notice 3 colored lights that appeared to be close by. It was dark of course, but I would estimate the lights to be about two miles away and about one mile high above the ground. We were with-in 5 miles of an airport, so the occasional appearence of multi-colored lights of small aircraft in the sky was not unusal, and we agreed that this is probably what the lights were and continued to scan the night sky looking for other interesting constellations.

About 15 minutes later, my friend looked to the horizon again and brought to my attention that the multi-colored lights were still in the same place as they were before. We naturally thought that this was very odd, but decided that it was either another airplane traveling the same flight path or the same plane had circled and just happened to be in the same location that we were looking. We quickly went back to obsevering the stars.

Some time later, about 20 minutes, I happened to look in the direction of what we both dismissed as a airplane sighting, and again, in the very same place and of the exact orintation, I saw the same multi-colored lights. I quickly brought it to the attention of my friend and together we tried to come up with a rational explanation as to why and how an object could suspend itself in the air in the same exact place. I finally came to the conclusion that it must be a helicopter, but my friend reminded me that heliocopters are extemely noisey and it was a very quiet night with no breezes. If the object was a helicopter, we would definitely hear the sound of the motor and rotor blades.

We both became very puzzled, and our attention was now focused directly on the object for about 10 minutes. As we stared at the lights, I strained to make out some kind of outline or silhouette of the object, but I could not see any discernable shape because the object seemed to absorb what little light was available and blend into the night sky.

Just as we were discussing what this thing could be, it suddenly moved at tremendous speed to our left at a 45 degree angle, upward about 5 miles in the sky, paused for a brief second, and then shot straight upwards to the very outer stratosphere of the Earth,... then stoopped, hovered, appearing as a point of light for a second, and then suddenly propelling itself into deep space at an even faster speed than I had ever seen any man-made aircraft accelerate to.

My friend and I looked at each other in astonishment,... all we could say to eachother is "Woa",... "What was that?".

The next day we told all are friends. Some of are friends believed us, but most did not. However, those that did not believe us, could not come up with an explanation either.

I am in my 50's now, but I will never forget the experience, and the memory of it is still fresh in my mind like it happened yesterday.

At the age of 17 years old, I was a ("I don't believe it, unless I see it") kind of a young man, and I cerntainly did not believe in extraterrestial spacecraft, but after this 1969 sighting, I soon changed my opinion..
