- DESCRIPTION SUBMITTED:
-
- My wife and 2 children were camping at
the Battenkill sports quarters campgrounds near Cambridge NY. Myself and
the 2 children aged 2 and 6 were lying on a blanket in a large field watching
for shooting stars from the perseid meteor showers. Bernadette my wife
was about 100ft away cleaning the site. The night was mostly clear with
some clouds and a full moon.
-
- From above the mountains in the southeast
the children and I noticed an extremely large object with lights. It went
behind a large cloud and then reappeared almost directly over head. It
looked round and I counted 8 yellowish white lights around it, 2 almost
in the middle and 1 flashing white light in the very middle.
-
- It was moving at approx 50 mph and was
approx the size of 10 jet airplanes end to end and side to side. The size
was immense to say the least and it rumbled but did not have a jet engine
whine as it passed over us towards Shushan, NY.
-
- As it was coming out from the cloud I
yelled to the wife and she saw it also. After it had passed I asked my
6 year old son what he thought of that big "jet" so maybe he
would not be scared. He replied that "that was not a jet but a flying
saucer". Another set of campers were in a tent nearby but did not
see it but heard it and thought that it was thunder. We are curious as
to if anybody else saw this that night or any others as it was tough to
miss. I have served 19 years in the army and lived near many airfields
and airports and have never seen anything like this or as large as this
in the sky!
