preacherman76 Posted July 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hey guys. Something pretty cool happened last night that I had to share. Every year the fair comes to town, an on the first weekend of it, they have a fire work show. That was last night. Just so happens that where they set them off from, we can see them pretty good from just a short walk from my house. Anyhow long story short, after the fire works, we begin to walk back to the house. We are maybe half way back home when I see this orange glowing ball in the sky. No blinking lights or anything, just a solid orange ball of light. So I point it out to my wife and my sons. Right away both me and my wife pull our phones out to try and get a recording of it. An I'll be damned it suddenly just vanished. Blinked out right before I could get some footage. It was a very strange thing to see. So right away I thought about you guys lol. An how I was disappointed I couldn't get a recording to share with you. I came back out after I put the boys to bed, but didn't see anything else. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted July 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Was the orange ball moving? Did it make any sound? Was it a just a solid ball of light or did it look like it was on fire? Edited July 24, 2016 by Lilly typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a just a solid ball of light or did it look like it was on fire? It was moving Lilly. It was going pretty fast to, heading South over the Hudson River. It was pretty close to. I remember being impressed by how bright it was. From my POV it was coming from my left side, and blinked out soon as it was centered right in front of us. Looked like a solid ball of light. No sound at all. I was thinking it might have been a drone, but with how close it was, I think we would have heard something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman76 Posted July 24, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I tried to look close after the light went out, to see if there was a solid object there, but I couldn't see anything. Now that doesn't necessarily mean nothing was there, but I couldn't see it, or hear anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith Posted July 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Preacherman you're sounding like the guy who never has a camera with him every time he sees the Loch Ness monster. (JK) I saw a similar thing once when I was up at our beach house. It did the same thing, appeared and disappeared. It wasn't bright orange but more of yellowy orange. I thought at first that maybe one of the planets was visible but never followed up with any research to see if anything was going on that night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted July 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Any idea on some estimated elevation or distance ? ~ My personal experience was seeing something exceptionally 'bright' one night on a good moon lit night almost directly overhead ... thought it was 'moving' very fast until I realised it was the clouds that was 'moving' ... and being a clear moon lit night the contrast made the point source much brighter than normally seen , probably a planet of something along those line, maybe even a satellite it was ~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman76 Posted July 24, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I'm not exactly sure TE, I don't think I could have hit it throwing a rock, but seemed pretty close none the less. It's hard to say. When it was moving first thing I did was compare it to the fixed stars behind it. It was definitely moving. There wasn't a cloud in the sky last night either. Probably explainable by someone, just not me. Edited July 24, 2016 by preacherman76 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBoy86x Posted July 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Did the orange ball have a facebook page? Does it like green eggs and ham? How many poops did you have before you saw it? ........... Stupid question to a shared story. Cant just enjoy what someone has to share on the site anymore thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably explainable by someone, just not me. I was thinking that maybe it was a firework or something like that or a type of Chinese lantern. Just some wild guesses as I wasn't there to see it. Interestingly though many have reported unusual lights/aircraft during fireworks displays, with some suggesting that our light shows attract UFOs. My question would be, if that's the case, then how would they get here so fast. And if they haven't figured out light shows by now, then they are denser than I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted July 24, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I see those ufo orbs every night where I'm at. Sometimes they fade, pulse, slow fade then brighten up, move at odd angles, etc. I never put much thought into them though. I just figured it was something natural or a trick to the eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't put much thought behind them as they do nothing really. I haven't been abducted by aliens are anything. Plus there are plenty of videos on youtube about them.

Hawken Posted July 24, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I assume you live around the Hudson Valley area since you mentioned the Hudson River. There was reports of lights and craft in that area a few decades back. Seems to be a hotspot. https://youtu.be/yfevVrSDb-g Edited July 24, 2016 by Hawkin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davros of Skaro Posted July 25, 2016 #17 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I saw the same thing, but several of them. They rose up in the sky, picked up speed one by one, then winked out. Good thing I saw the yard where the people released the Chinese Lanterns as I was walking by. Otherwise I would have been perplexed too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mother an sister witnessed the famous Hudson valley boomerang. I still kick my self to this day cause my Mom had asked me to go with her that night. In 94 right in the same area, I witnessed a much smaller round craft for like a half hour flying above my house. I have been scanning these skies ever since.

An not over just this thread either. I think you are still holding on to something that tells you all isn't necessarily what it seems. Otherwise why would you be here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reality check showed me that there is nothing more in life. That magick doesn't exist and the gods are dead. I would love for there to be more to it all, but alas tis not to be so. No god's, aliens, demons, or ghost. Just fanciful creation of a childish imagination. Life is an unfeeling thing that just doesn't care about us. People make it worse.

Maybe, but two things -- the world we know of living things on earth is maybe all we could ever hope to appreciate. Second, it's a very big universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman76 Posted July 25, 2016 Author #25 Share Posted July 25, 2016 What understanding is that? That there is no mystery or wonder in this universe? My direct experiences would never allow me to believe that. For instance I know for a fact there is such thing as flying scaucers.
