Occurred: 2023-06-15 22:23 Local
Reported: 2023-06-15 20:03 Pacific
Duration: 1-2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Sayville, NY, USA
Location details: South sayville

Shape: Orb


Was watching what I thought was a satellite, but orbit became very erratic

Object noticed in direct southern sky; about 45 degrees; south of bright star (planet) to the near west but lower.

Traveled east quickly; high up and seemed too high and fast for a plane.
I thought it was a satellite, but was traveling too quickly. Abruptly turned
north, almost a 90 degree angle, and then the pattern was erratic.
Whatever star (planet) was directly east from me, about 65 degrees, it was moving up and down there; disappeared (cloudy and ashy conditions). There was a definite up and down movement, in a zig zag fashion. Nothing that makes sense. I have been casually watching planets, stars, space stations, satellites. This was weird.

Spinning silver object seen by two on a clear summer night.

On the night of August 5th 2021 at approximately 7:15 pm eastern time my wife and I observed a round spinning object in the distance from our front porch. It was whitish/silver and spinning and reflecting the sunlight against a clear blue sky. It was stationary then appeared to move to the right then up and then back to the right and then slowly move up and finally out of our sight. This occurred for several minutes. It did not behave like a ballon in that it was not moving in a predictable or stable fashion.it would float then move slightly and then move either in an upward or sideways pattern as this night was clear and not a windy one. It seemed to move in a casual manner. It did not resemble a drone device as it was very high in the skyline and it's being a large bright and reflective and the whole object seemed to spin.

Location: Sayville, NY, USA

Shape: Light


Noticed bright light during cloudy night. Watched it because it didn't seem like a star, too bright. After being stationery around 15 minutes it started to move quickly, horizontally a good distance and stopped. Then turned, very reflective, and went back to original stationery location. After another 15 minutes it took off to our south and disappeared.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Two red lights disappeared

Saw two red lights moving from east to west at the same height as an airplane which was close to the moving lights and ahead of lights. The red lights were unusual because they were very close to each other but not in sync enough to be same aircraft.

The airplane changed direction toward northwest- a normal path. The lied lights disappeared.

Occurred: 2014-08-28 20:30 Local

Duration: 7 minutes

Location: Sayville, NY, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail, Aircraft nearby

Saw blue ball of light fall from sky then craft seem to check it out then skip across sky like a rock on water extremely fast.

At approximately 8:30pm last night I was standing in my back yard in Sayville, on Long Island, New York with 3 other witnesses having a conversation. I happened to be facing south with my eyes just starting to drift upward when suddenly I saw a ball of light fall from the sky leaving a trail behind it. The object was blue-ish in color and large as to say it must have been closer than the stars and possibly even in the neighborhood.

I stopped what I was doing and said “ woahh did any one just see that, that definitely wasn’t a shooting star, it looked like something just crashed.” It happened that this object fell directly over the Great South Bay.

I was very shocked by what I saw because I have been a bit of a star gazer for quite some time and I know what a shooting star looks like.

After about 2 more minutes of staring up to see if anything else occurred, I shrugged it off and walked in side to do something. I returned to the back yard approximately 6 to 7 minutes after the sighting, my uncle had been still gazing in that direction in curiosity, when about 30 seconds after I returned he said, “There is something else over there.”

I looked and I saw a flash of light skip twice on the sky in the area where the other object had crashed or fallen, I was even skeptical at first and said, “No, that can’t be related. It’s probably fireworks, or something, searching for some explanation,” when all of a sudden, the object seemed to have finished what it was doing in that area and began to make abrupt evasive seeming maneuvers across the sky. However, it wasn’t just one long flash of light, the best way I can describe it is it was like a rock skipping on water, using some kind of propulsion mechanism which must have been the light that we saw each time it appeared, and with each burst of light the object was propelled tens of miles (from my earthly perspective, and it may have been much longer given the distance that it was into the night sky)

In approximately one second at a time, beginning its r! etreat f rom the scene of the first object by making an abrupt left turn then headed north and the light appeared about 5 or 6 more times before vanishing into the sky about 60 miles or so in about 7 or 8 seconds, or you might say the light appeared once every second of its journey from point A to point B where it disappeared.

I live close to MacArthur Airport, and I see planes all day every day, and every kind of plane there is, I also worked at a Skydiving facility with seasoned pilots and worked around planes so I have a good sense of what we are capable of in aviation, so a few things I know is that this was not a plane or any known human aircraft, there were multiple commercial airliners in the vicinity to compare it to and this was traveling many times their speed.

This was also too close to the airport for this not to have been picked up on by radar, something crashed or fell into the Great South Bay, and something seemed to have gone to recover it and then tried to escape without being seen, or is it possible that this was the same object recovering from its crash landing and the reason I say that is because it looked as if when the craft was traveling away from the scene it was using some kind of propulsion system thus creating the light that we saw each time it moved another handful of miles across the sky, but it’s obvious that whatever energy or propulsion system that it was using is not one that is known to the public, because one thrust sent it very far, also being that it was not just one constant light, it felt as if possibly the craft was struggling to escape, however on its final thrust it just vanished into the sky.

The observers consisted of two women in their 50’s and a man in his 50’s as well as me a 25 year old. The other male observer and I have knowledge of technology, assumed ufos, and the night sky. I have observed the sky for many years, I have witnessed many meteor showers, including a shooting star that night, we also saw a satellite pass later that night, and the sky was very clear and cloudless, stars were extremely visible, meaning we had many known objects to compare it to. I live in an area which is close to Fire Island, which is an area that is well populated with tourists and parties and these objects had to be visible and most likely seen by other people there. I will add that last week I also witnessed similar lights but much higher in the sky coming from the exact direction that this object disappeared into. I can not say if it is related but it was very similar although this incident was much more intense and much closer. Thank you.

Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 3

Location: Sayville, NY, USA

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

Looking to the sky on a very clear night we saw a glowing object that was reasonably close maybe 1-2 miles in the sky east of us. The aircraft was flying at about a quarter mile high in altitude and was moving at a slow pace southward. The shape of this object was very odd, it seemed to have a very slow moving vertical "helicopter blade" in the back that was glowing, and a sphere shaped body in the front but was large. We could not hear any noise from this object but it just hovered right along its path until it was out of our sight. we considered following it but it was too late in the night.

Five UFO's seen travelling over L.I, NY

at 23:13 hours, two witnesses saw multiple flying crafts over Sayville, Long Island, New York. That were not travelling in the direction of McArthur airport and were flying much faster than any aircraft ever viewed in the vicinity. UFO was seen flying well above cloud cover, and McArthur aiport had no outgoing flights at said time.

Witnesses saw one triangular flashing object with white and red flashing lights, and two craft lights completely disappeared from view. Stars were visible at the time of the sighting, and no stars were seen disappearing underneath cloud cover, and were visible throughout the entire sighting of UFO's.

Five UFO's were seen within a half hour's time, and then no sightings after. Sightings ended at 11:35 pm EST.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

circular disk with smaller circular top pulsating red, green and bluish lights alternately (which differs from planes). moved slowly across the western horizon from south to north. slower than what an airplane would move at. there were airplanes in the sky in the traditional flight patterns - this is not the way planes move in this area.

it was weird

bright star-like object ascending out into space.

Looking North, witnessed a bright star-like object appearing to ascend out into space. At first, it was several times larger than the brightest star. Continued to ascend to what appears to be the outer fringes of our atmosphere. At that point, it instantly changed direction to the left and disappeared.
