Diamond-shaped UFO reported hovering over NY lake

A New York witness at Conesus reported watching a diamond-shaped UFO “larger than a plane” hovering over a lake, according to testimony in Case 65105 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving home about 12:15 a.m. on May `1, 2015, when the object was first seen.

“I got to the top of a hill that overlooks the lake I live on about four miles away from my house,” the witness stated. “I right away noticed a very bright and distinct light just hovering over the lake that I live on.”

The witness described the object.

“It was in the shape of a square and it was brighter than a star, and only a few stars were in the sky that night.”

The witness continued driving and moved closer to the object.

“As I got closer and closer it still was not moving at all, so I rolled my windows down and turned off the radio to listen to see if I could hear anything like a helicopter. Nothing. I could not hear a sound at all.”

The witness continued driving thinking that the object might be a Chinese lantern.

“Once I got close enough to be right under it (however, I was on the road and it was over the lake to my left) I saw that it was some sort of an aircraft. However, it was in the shape of a diamond. It had the large square light so bright on the front peek, the outer two peaks had flashing red lights on them and the back side had a flashing white and green light.”

The object was also very low.

“It was lower than any plane I had ever seen fly in that area. It slowly started to fly over my head and back north down where I had just come from as I drove under it – still making no sound at all. When I turned around to try and get a good look, it as gone into the darkness.”

The witness attempted to take photos of the object.

“I took two photos on my phone, but when I went to show my father the next day, they were not there. Not sure if while I was driving they didn’t come out or what happened.”

  1. Where are the videos? http://www.ufoanonymous.com used to release incredible videos every month. Compilations of video taped sightings. Unfortunately that site has been dormant since last year
    Credible witness stories are nothing without video to back it up.

  2. I believe him! I saw same thing floating over Mather AFB, for two hours, back in 1980. With a lot of helicopters and air plane flying around under it. NO JOKE!

  3. I seen this same object coming from school and I have video. The video only shows the object flying away and it looks like a star. In February I was leaving school and got a flat tire. I called my family to pick me up and while we were waiting for the tow truck a quite object was flying low with a bright spot light. I though it was a helicopter because it was so low. It looked like a solar cell controlled by plasma. It’s shape was that of a diamond and had a green light at the back. I didn’t know what it was and it just suddenly turned on its plasma controllers and it looked the corona of the sun. It felt like the aircraft had a soul. Me and my daughter staired at it and she thought it was a kite because of how it revealed its shape and color, a bright orange red solar cell looking object. It must have sped off in a second, all I remember is grabbing my phone and recording it and it was already at least 2 to 3 miles away.

  4. I live in Westchester, ny and have been seeing this diamond shaped object in the sky for about 2 weeks. It is very,very bright and I have only seen it between 3am and 6:45 am. It is not out when the stars come out at night.

  5. I have images and vids, sent to Gary Netzle, Madi Tobias, MUFON/FREE, I think I am only one reporting contact and abduction, I will tell you this, if it starts to land, RUN, unless you like radiation poisoning, and being … changed.
