Harry and his parents lived in Oakdale, NY in the Great Neck river valley area. It was about twilight in mid-July 1954 and Harry’s dad was finishing some yard chores. Young Harry’s mom had just called him in the house to get ready for bed. He tells us that he’d only been inside for a few minutes when his father “burst” into the house yelling, “Everyone come outside quick you have to see this!”

Harry says that when he got outside his dad grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him around abruptly. There to the right of our house up in the black night sky were three luminous disc shaped objects, traveling very slowly from East to West. Harry became so scared that he ran back into the house as fast as he could. His father came right after him. His dad picked him up saying, “…you have to see this… you may never see anything like this again in your life.”

As the two got back outside the discs had moved so that their house obscured their view. Harry’s dad moved over to their driveway to get a better look. Father and son watched and marveled at the sight that they were witnessing.

“What we saw were three pulsing discs glowing brightly and gliding through the sky, silent, silhouetting the trees that were between us and them.”

Adult Harry recalls, “… calm came over me as my father set me on the ground. As I watched the three discs we noticed something dropping out of the back of them it reminded me of the tinsel we put on our Christmas tree. The tinsel stuff was glowing as it drifted to the ground.”

Father and son finally began to relax and together they studied what they were seeing.

“I noticed that as they pulsed at the dimmest part of the pulse that you could almost see through them like they were semi-transparent.”

Harry says that a most interesting thing happened after the V Formation of UFOs were out of sight. Both his dad and he were suddenly startled by the sound of the night insects as they all had unexpectedly all started making their sounds together after the discs were gone.

“It was a very strange night to say the least and till this day I have never witnessed anything quite like it.”

Let’s look at some recent UFO sighting in New York Skies:

8 March 2015: at about 9:30 p.m., a Rensselaer, NY resident was walking his dog and observed a bright display that resembled fireworks. He contacted the local police and was told that all was quiet and that there were no local fireworks.

9 March 2015: at about 9 p.m. an Albany resident saw a huge triangle object with five white lights flying low with no sound, moving slowly over Albany, NY.

9 March 2015: at about 1:30 a.m. a Corning, NY couple was outside for a smoke and witnessed two balls of light in a straight formation. They state that the objects illuminated the clouds around them as they passed by. He estimates there were roughly a football field long, flying low, very fast and totally silent.

11 March 2015: at about 5:15 a.m. a Lansing, NY motorist was driving to work when he saw a huge flash of light that lite up the entire sky, at first it was a teal blue/green then it changed to pink then purple back to a teal then dissipated. He says the flash came from the North end of Cayuga Lake.
