Cylinder shape coming over my roof, then rises and slowly hovers in sky

Coming back from walking my dog, on my sidewalk by front door, I see a flowing cylinder shape coming over my roof top. It was green I believe and silent. I thought it was a firework from neighbor and grabbed my dog thinking its going to explode on us or near us. I ran the house with the dog, went right back out to see what happened and the object was rising up in the sky. I grabbed my phone and filmed it. I was thrown off by the reflection on the screen. I think it is a reflection of moon that is bouncing all over and I kept moving around to see if there were other lights floating around. But they light TV at is more stationary above the street light was the one I was filming. It moved very slowly and eventually moved out of sight. Thought probably a drone but not convinced. It came over my roof almost like and animation or laser beam type light as it left a trail. Completely see through. And when it rose was more circular and no trail. Contact me by text only please.

Object flashes after making a high altitude U-turn

I was outside with my binoculars around 6am this morning, drinking coffee and looking at the sky. I was specifically looking at Orion's Belt, which is visible right now early in the morning. It was still dark out. While looking at the center star of Orion's belt, I saw a small light fly by at a high rate of speed. I followed the light and watched it fly in a southeasterly direction. I watched it for several seconds. After about 10 seconds the light stopped and made a "U" turn. After the U turn, I brought the binoculars down to see if I could observe the object with the naked eye. I could not. I was about to re-acquire the object with my binoculars when I saw a bright flash from the object, just to the left of Orion's belt. After the flash, I never saw the object again.

Location: Whitesboro, NY, USA

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright orb with no sound that moved slowly east and stayed low in the sky.

Bright "orb". Thought it was a bright star until I realized it was moving. Assumed plane or satellite, but it was moving too slow for satellite and was larger in size and had no other lights on it (i.e. red). Did not "blink", but stayed bright white. Appeared low in the sky. Moved east. Watched for about 4 minutes until it disappeared in beginning morning light. Made no engine sound. Stayed very quiet.

Rotating Lights in the sky

At about 12 midnight I had just returned home from picking my wife up from work. I just got out of the car when something in the shy caught my attention. At first I thought it was a spotlight pointed skyward and reflecting off the clouds. But I soon noticed that it appeared to be more than one light. The lights would converge and get slightly brighter. Then they would shoot outward spinning in a counter clockwise motion then coming together again before repeating. It looked to me that there were four of these lights. The lights were soft, diffuse, white in color and would become elongated the further they moved away from their convergence point. My wife saw this also, she called the local police to see if anything was going on in the area but they said no. We live in the country just outside a small town. I did not see any beam of light coming from the ground like you would normally see with a bright light and I would assume you would need a powerful light to illuminate the clouds as these clouds were very high. The only variance I saw with the lights was that sometimes the lights appeared to shoot farther out after coming together. My wife said she thought the lights changed shape slightly but I could not tell. This lasted for about 20 minutes. To be honest I have no clue what these lights were, I wondered if they may have been coming from above the clouds. Anyway, although there is probably a natural explanation for what we saw, we thought it was strange and having never seen anything like this before we wanted to report it.

A little glowing moving dot in the middle of the day

It was very bright out. I looked up at the sky and I saw a glowing dot. It looked like a star but it was day so it couldn't have been a star. It was still at first then it started moving then stopped again. I ran inside to get a camera so i had proof but it was gone.

Occurred: 2001-09-04 15:45 Local
Reported: 2001-09-08 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 10-15 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Whitesboro, NY, USA

Shape: Orb


Watched small silver orb traverse 1/3rd of the sky and disappear in plain sight.

My friend and I were lounging around her pool and leaning up against the walls, looking up at the sky. It was a beautiful sunny day with some clouds but mostly long expanses of cloudless sky. Where there WERE clouds, I would estimate that the ceiling was at 1000' approx. I happened to call her attention to this one little lone circular cloud in this big expanse of blue sky. As soon as I did, there just appeared something in front of the cloud that started moving north to south in a fast straight line. It was silver and round and looked about the size of a BB held at arms length. I said "what IS that?". She said "it's not a bird" and I said "it's not a plane" at the same time and just at that moment it disappeared, like it had some type of cloaking device. There were no other clouds in that part of the sky and it just disappeared from view as we watched it. I suspect that it was hidden behind the lone circular cloud because at no time did I see it enter my line of sight from north to south. As soon as I called her attention to the cloud, it was just there in front of it. The strange thing is that I got the feeling it KNEW we had spotted it and were discussing it. It covered about 1/3 of the sky from horizon to horizon in about 10 seconds. It was traveling faster than a jet. The strange thing is that even though we had just seen something we had NEVER seen before, we just kind of went back to our conversation after saying something like "wow". I didn't think about it til later that it was strange that we were so low key about it.

((ADDENDUM FROM ORIGINAL WITNESS))
