2009-11-15 - New York, NY - Oval

Large blimpy looking object in night sky, very loud noise, flashing lights red and white.

It was Sunday at @2:30 AM. The noise is what woke us up it sounded like an earthquake and a jet,the house shook, I thought that perhaps my central air condition unit was on the blink, so I went outside to check. This was what I saw. A large oval object in the dark sky, almost like a standard blimp but much bigger and had no bottom basket as on a blimp. Color silver grey, metalic. Red lights on right and left side of object, and beams on white lights very powerful from the middle of object. The white beams of lights were flashing. The flashing lights like those of pictures being taken, flashed in my face and I got scared and went inside and got my husband. I purposly woke him up because otherwise if I told him what a saw at night he would think that I'm flipping out or something.

My husband looked at it and we both decided to go inside the house. We could not sleep for the rest of the night. I was very nervous, I told my co-workers about what we saw,! and they were surprised that I did not take pictures, or call 311. I guess I should off but I was so nervous at what I was looking at that I froze.

I'm sure someone else must of seen it. My neighbors assume that perhaps they were making a movie and this was a movie event in the sky. People are afraid to talk about this event. Movie makers inform in advance that a movie will be shot at what time and ask to move all cars. There was no such request,and movies would not make such noise at that time of night.

We watched from the house until it hovered away in what seemed an eternety. No smoke, no exhaust, just noise and out.

I say it was a UFO.
