• The National UFO Reporting Center based in Davenport, Washington, received reports on 103 UFO sightings by the public in New York state in 2018.
• “Obvious hoaxes have been omitted, however most reports have been posted exactly as received in the author’s own words,” notes the Center. The Center also said it has recently seen a high volume of prank calls on its hotline.
• Many UFO reports mention triangular-shaped objects or groups of objects, blinking lights, hovering objects and either saucer-shaped or cigar-shaped craft.
• The majority of sightings happen at night. But one school student spotted an object on the morning of April 17th in Burnt Hills, NY. “I was sitting in class and looked out of my class window and noticed a small egg-shaped object made of metal. It was floating above my school, but since I was taking a test I didn’t point it out.”
• A sighting from Route 88 near Richmondville, NY in July mentioned a semi-truck with trooper and military escort: “On the flatbed was a craft that resembled a somewhat flattened bullet, with the back end flatter and 3 or 4 round things inside the back end for possible propulsion or exhaust function. No windows. No wings.”
• Another report read: “My son and sister witnessed a creature at 3:20 in the morning while letting dog out. They came in running and screaming. They said the thing was 7-8 feet tall grey green elongated head, no genitals and when they startled it, it ran at an impossible speed covering over 150 [?] in two seconds and was out of sight.”
• A 2017 study by Chapman University in California found that 35 percent of Americans believe that aliens have come to Earth in the ancient past; 23 percent believe aliens are still visiting in modern times.
More than 100 UFO sightings were reported in New York last year to the National UFO Reporting Center.
The center, based in Davenport, Wash., says it makes no claims as to the validity of the information in any of these reports. “Obvious hoaxes have been omitted, however most reports have been posted exactly as received in the author’s own words.”
“We hope that this information will prove to be useful to the general public and the UFO community at large.”
Whether or not you believe these reports, the New York state UFOs are worth a look. In all, there were 103 UFO reports from the state in 2018.
Many mention triangular-shaped objects or groups of objects, blinking lights, hovering objects and either saucer-shaped or cigar-shaped craft.
The majority of sightings happened after dark, but one student spotted an objectwhile taking a test on the morning of April 17 in Burnt Hills.
“I was sitting in class and looked out of my class window and noticed a small egg-shaped object made of metal. It was floating above my school, but since I was taking a test I didn’t point it out.”
The National UFO Reporting Center site indicates whether anyone checked out the report (some are labeled “hoax?”) or view video or photos.
A sighting from Route 88 near Richmondville, Schoharie County, in July mentioned a semi truck with trooper and military escort: “On the flatbed was a craft that resembled a somewhat flattened bullet, with the back end flatter and 3 or 4 round things inside the back end for possible propulsion or exhaust function. no windows. no wings.”
