The witness and his girlfriend were driving home between 9 and 10 p.m. on August 4, 2016, when the incident occurred.

“We saw a light to our left,” the witness stated.“This thing was a complete lit-surfaced craft. It wasn’t blinking lights. The entire surface of craft was lit up and glowing.”

  1. Anybody else find this craft almost identical to that one video taken at night of a UAV or UFO landing and retrieval. I think it was around 1989 and it’s a brief color video clip and this looks to be of the same design.

  2. A few people have posted some videos that strengthen the case that this is actually a blimp.

    Blimp lit up at night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da2A456wqjM

    DirectTV blimp lit up at night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ-fyyAkfbc

    DirectTV blimp’s large notch that corresponds with the one in the video. It is actually a billboard, but when it does not have anything displayed, it is black. http://blogs-images.forbes.com/jeffbercovici/files/2014/05/2265630303_a2558b75e7_b.jpg

    There are also many pictures of this blimp, or a similar one, in NY.

  3. Shouldn’t there be a record of the ‘flight path’ for all ‘blimps’ ? like where did it come from ? what airport in the area might have tracked it on radar etc There has to be a ‘paper trail’ at least “in times like these” -seriously, how can something like this be in the air and no one knowes !! where’s Home-Land Security !
    I’m saying there IS a record of whatever this is – unless it’s a drone – so duplicate the sighting and clear this up !
