Lights over NY State (shortly after 9/11)
After watching the Leonids meteor shower all night we decided to get some hot choclate to warm up... when one of my friends (An accomplished english Teacher, whom I had never met before this night) stated seeing something triangular in shape with 7 or perhaps 8 lights around its outer edge.
It was HUGE and semi-translucent as it moved over head it covered the starlight so as to suggest that there was mass in between the lights. It moved from East to West slowly. No sound, no engines no afterburners nothing.
We watched until it dissapeared into the horizon. This was shortly after September 11th 2001 and we all knew there was a restriction on ANY aircraft flying in the NYC vicinity, so we found it even stranger.
Shortly afterward we heard the sound of sonic booms in the distance and 2 (which were EASILY distinguishable) military jets perhaps f-15 or f-16 flew over head at extremly high speeds from east to west in the same path of the first object, as if in pursuit, my girlfriend came running out because the boom from there engines RATTLED the house.. and she was not sure what it was.
Very strange, very real....
