I witnessed what appeared to be a moving aircraft and noticed no beacon lights flashing then I thought it may have been a star

I witnessed what I thought was an aircraft without any flashing beacon lights. Then I thought it may have been a star moving across the sky slowly I watched it move across the sky for roughly 4 to 8 seconds and the light just disappeared as if it were turned off the sky conditions are crystal clear. It appeared to be the size of white or bright star in the sky would be and it was very high in the atmosphere. It made no sense just moved across the sky and suddenly appeared and disappeared

I saw 7-8 fire balls shoot up out of the Long Island sound. They were spinning and then turns off. Then a fighter jet followed

I was sitting on the beach with my friend, we saw a large craft of 7-8 fire balls shoot up out of the Long Island sound. It went up spinning. It went up a few hundred feet, then the fire balls turned off and turned into solid red lights (7-8 not spinning) the ufo then shot east at a high rate of speed, following was a f18 with full afterburner on. It wen directly after the craft.

I took poor quality videos. (Three to be exact but short one second bursts because I was panicking)

Saw a silver color plane flying in the sky with shape like almost a eagle (two triangles on the side and pointy front) and round belly (disc) or base. It could camouflage, i believe.

Strange orange lights moving parallel in the sky.

I was talking to my friend before she was leaving my house one night, and I remember, looking up at the night sky. There were quite a number of stars out, as I live in the woods, so it was always nice to gaze up at them. Then from the corner of my eye, I saw something orange. Looking over, I noticed lights in the sky, moving at the same speed and parallel with each other.

Upon seeing them, it turned out there were two more sets of lights. One of the sets of lights, reminded me of a colon symbol from the keyboard, moving straight over my house and over the trees. Following the same path was another set of lights only the looked as if a colon was on it's side.

The third set of lights, broke the formation by going diagonally across the sky. It seemed to have started off with them but ended up breaking away, still staying parallel with itself. It was almost as if the sets of lights were attached in the pairs by a bar.

These lights didn't blink, and they weren't slow like a plane. They also seemed to be flying too low for them to be a plane as well. I'm pretty sure they were actually in the atmosphere.

As I watched them, I had three thoughts cross my mind. One was just surprise, but the other two thoughts stood out. These thoughts were "get inside" and "what are you looking for?". Of course, I had stayed rooted to the spot until they were out of site, before my friend and I said goodbye.

Rotation of lights appeared to be in a counterclockwise fashion when looking up from the ground. Lights were a bright orange that appeared out of nowhere, but dimmed out once reaching a certain point in it's rotation. Lights appeaered to be 200ft above ground and separated by +600ft

Large green light flying over Western Smithtown, Suffolk County Long Island

I was driving towards my home street with my girlfriend and while I was talking I saw a large bright green light in the night sky. The light was not exceptionally high in the sky but lower, and flew across the sky away from us. After about 1-2 seconds it completely vanished. My reaction was "What the f--- was that?!" I asked my girlfriend if she saw it and she did and was freaked out. I'm skeptical of UFOs and aliens but this was unlike any plane or shooting star I've ever seen and was a large green bright light.

Duration: 15 min
No of observers: 4

Location: Smithtown, NY, USA

Shape: Flash


It was early evening when my wife, and two of my son and I were in my pool when one of my sons was the first to notice high in the sky what could best be described to be a very bright distant flashing round light, it was far away and looked like the size of a very large bright star. Because of the distance no detail of the object could be seen but it was stationary and the flashing was very bright and had no distinct pattern as it flashed at random. The object seemed to at first to be moving higher in the sky and drifting I think in what may be North direction. At this time we debated and rationalized that if it could be a Mylar helium balloon and the sun would reflect off of it as it turned creating the bright flash of lights as it turned into the sun that was starting to set in the west. Then it got a little more interesting as it started moving ( Drifting) at a more rapid speed in a completely different direction at first moving closer to us and the! n moving what I think was east. It made no noise had no characteristics of an aircraft that we could define. We do not know what it was we saw but if it was in fact a balloon its behavior was indeed unusual and the brightness of the flashing seemed too strong and bright to be reflective. The object moved farther and farther away until we could no longer see it.

3 gold objects in a triangle formation all move in seperate directions during a full moon and one disappears and comes back.

It was a full moon and me and my brother could see 3 big gold lights in a triangle form southwest of the moon, just above the horizon. The objects were not moving and were blinking steadily. After about 5 minutes one of the objects starting moving East and towards us. It was going semi-slow but it moved past us and we saw a disk shaped object with a yellow haze around it (maybe a forcefield?). It had red blinking lights with green non-blinking lights.

That one went off into the darkness. We then started watching the other 2 lights, and one of them started to go northeast really fast and away from us. All of a sudden it turned blue and stopped and started to blink. We then paid attention to the other one that was not moving. All of a sudden the first object came blitzing back from the east down away from us to the west and disappeared. I called my mom who was across town at home and when she went outside she and my other brother saw an object quickly change directions and flutter.

The 3rd object did not move, but disappeared after about 20 minutes. It was surreal, I was definitely sure that other people would have seen this.

Light Hovers in the NY sky... and it's not the first time...

I was taking my dog for his last walk of the day in the park. The night is so clear, and the moon lights up the whole snow covered scene. While looking at the stars, I see a Bright Light hovering in the sky. I don't think much about it, until I come back to it a moment later. It is now in a different part of the sky... It's still hovering. I decide to lighn it up with a steady object. I pick a telephone pole, and stand so that the light is centered and just above the top of the pole from where I'm standing. Now I can clearly see that the light is hovering, and moving, or rather swaing, from point to point. It is there as I left to go back inside. I have seen this craft before, in New Hampshire, and in North Carolina.

Transparent object, only visible by it's effect on the atmosphere

I was sitting in my car at a traffic light facing in a Westerly direction. I noticed something moving in the sky above. It was moving in a straight line from approx. WNW to ESE. It was viewed from about 60 degrees to about 90 degrees vertically(directly overhead), until it was obscurred by the roof of my car. Without any reference points to determine size/height, I would guestimate that it was somewhere between 300 to 600 feet in altitude. It's diameter I can only describe by how much sky it blocked...I liken it to holding up a penny at arms length(I know...not very professional). It was either relatively close and small, or relatively high and large. I could not discern which, although I am leaning toward the former. It's speed, if the former is in fact correct, I would guestimate at about 110 to 120 Knots(about the speed of a Cessna 172).

I could not tell its overall shape (whether it was a disk or saucer) due to my looking up from almost directly below it. From below, it was circular in outline. It did not appear to be solid, but more like a ring. It was the exact color of the very clear, blue sky. At the risk of sounding crazy, I would have to say that it was invisible/transparent, with a slight darkness around the edges. What I did see was a wake of whitish blurring sky moving along with it, following it's trajectory, as well as a larger blurry wake(?) being pushed(?) in front. There was also a somewhat darker white blurring towards the sides. I can only liken it to when a ship is cutting through the ocean, as it's bow pushes through the water, it creates a white foam in front of the ship as the bow parts the water. The foam travels around both sides of the ship, and then rejoins at the stern, and then leaves more foam behind. Other than these "wakes", the object was not visible.

As to my background...I am a ((deleted--law enforcemtne)).

I was walking w/ my friends; we were abreast, but I was walking backwards.

I was 16 yrs old. I looked up, and about 100 feet above me was a craft. It was big enough that it was about all I could see. It was silent. It had a row of orange rectangular windows/lights, all around the rim. The lights were taller than wider (on end). I took a few seconds to try to understand what I saw, and once I had made sure I was not looking at anything normal, I turned to my friends and said "what is that?". As I turned to show them what I was asking about, it silently moved vertically, and then just zipped off. So quickly, that all they could say is "what are you talking about?".

It drives me crazy that I cannot verify this sighting. No one takes me seriously, yet I know what I saw. Anyone have any input?
