Reported: 2022-07-06 07:25 Pacific
Duration: 45-60 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Saranac Lake, NY, USA
Location details: Video taken from an island on Saranac lake, facing SE. object traveled from S to N.

Shape: Cylinder


Object traveling from south to north spotted with no aviation lights, engine noise or wings.

Object spotted traveling from S to N. The video was taken from Eagle Island Campsite on Saranac lake, facing SE. The object passed us at 8:42 PM 04/03/2022 and appeared to be passing over the town of Saranac Lake at 8:43 PM, 04/03/2022

The object looked like a cylinder with rounded ends and no wings. Primarily white, with a dark spot on the side. At first I thought the dark part of the side of the object that can be seen in the video was a wing but as it moved away you could see that there was no wings protruding from the side of the object, or the top of the object.

This object did not make any noise, it did not have any flashing lights that would be seen on any legal aircraft or civilian drone, nor did the object have any visible exhaust. We were able to both hear and see planes that were flying farther and higher than the object was that evening, but this object went by without a sound.

A shiny oval in the sky

I went outside to sit the sun, following a few brief rain showers and while looking up at the cloud's edge to west, I saw a small shiny oval dashing about. The closer it came to me overhead, the neighbor's dog began to bark. This oval went from west to east to south to north and then disappeared from sight going to the southwest.

I noticed a faint halo, like a force field around this object and as it got closer to the sun, a metallic like shine could also be seen. Its speed was tremendous and its ability to turn and twist in different directions was astonishing. It was completely silent and about the size of a jet airliner and probably about in same altitude as a jet airliner.

If I were categorize the object I just observed, I'd say that it is exactly identical to the objects filmed in the 1950 Great Falls, Montana, film, but more oval in shape.

Location: Saranac Lake, NY, USA

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Multiple large, yellowish orbs appeared and disappeared in the sky

My son and I were in the car at Petrova School waiting for my daughter and I was looking out over the soccer field. Suddenly, above a row of clouds, I saw a large yellowish orb appear. As I watched, two more appeared next to the first, but the second two seemed to be connected. Then the first one disappeared and a forth appeared to the right of the two that were connected. After that, they all disappeared. We got out of the car, and we saw the flashing lights which appeared to be military jets - they were moving very fast. At first we saw two, and then a third. They were flying back and forth across the sky (in all different directions). As we watched, one of them appeared to have a red light shoot out from the side of it (I think this could have been another jet that had been flying close to the other, but I'm not sure. Could it have been something else?)

Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Saranac, MI, USA

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

three lights slowly and silently passed over my house

out on my upper deck outside of my house, we saw 3 lights aligned in the shape of a perfect triangle. it flew low enough that we could see there was a circular base to the craft. it moved very slowly for about a mile, then picked up speed drastically, and soon was gone in the stars. the 5 minutes it passed over my house into the woods, we never once heard a sound. we've seen it three times now over the course of a month. it doesnt seem threatning, but i think they're watching someone, but who?

Location: Saranac Inn, NY, USA

Shape: Light


White Lights in the Northeast sky

I had gotten up in the wee hours of the morning to urinate and when I came back to my bedroom, I happened to be looking out the window in a northeasterly direction where a lake is and where the airport is and noticed for some 30 minutes a most unusual display of lights. They were pure white and they seem to be doing some sort of gymnastics or acrobatics in the sky. There were at least 7 or 8 of them, going in all different directions, yet remaining close to each other.

I can say that they were not conventional or any kind of aircraft that I know of.

Reported: 2001-03-07 00:00 Pacific
Duration: ongoing
No of observers: 2

Location: Saranac, NY, USA

Shape: Light


It looks like a star but is much to bright.

This may be nothing but there is a bright star like object due west from my house. It does not appear to be high enough to be a star and it appears to make circular motions . I' I've lived here a long time and never saw anything move like this. Probably nothing but I thought I'd report it.



NUFORC Note:

We do not know what the witness reports here, but we do observe that stars appear in all parts of a clear sky. Our suspicion is that the witness is observing the planet, Venus, which is quite prominent in the western sky in the early evening. PD

Full Description of event/sighting:

I was about 4 years old, were at our cabin in the Adirondacks and several neighbours were visiting us as we just arrived for our summer vacation. As I was young I was put to bed earlier but was listening to the adults talking in the living room.

We had no electricity or running water so when I wanted to go to the toilet which was an outhouse in the corner of the shed my father escorted me to the shed and went back inside the cabin door to get away from the mosquitoes where he could still see the shed. While in the outhouse every minute or so I could hear a whirring from far away getting nearer then going away. When I ran back inside the cabin and told my father he said it was probably just an owl or other creature.

A few minutes later all the adults were outside the back door as someone had gone to the outhouse and saw this disc shaped object which seemed to be slightly lit up and making a whirring sound coming into view from the south, passing almost overhead and disappearing around Mount Baker. I sneaked out and actually saw one ( one passed every minute or so) before I got caught and was sent back in. We had an old battery radio (tube) and when listening to the local news the next day we heard several reports of the same sighting from the village.

Thank you to the witness for sending in this interesting report.
