UNNERVING reports of fast-moving orbs, silent triangles, and darting disks have flooded in from one US state.
There have been dozens of fresh sightings in just six months.
Witnesses describe sharp turns, glowing shapes, and aerial objects that seem to defy known flight patterns.
The sightings were all logged across New York state, according to a new report from the National UFO Reporting Center.
From January through late June 2025, 66 separate Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) incidents were reported across the Empire State.
That includes mysterious lights, zigzagging formations and even a metallic ball seen from a commercial jet.
The reports span small towns, suburbs, and the skies over New York City, NUFORC said.
Chester, Ridge, and Evans Mills were among the towns where repeated activity was logged.
Evans Mills, located near a military installation, had recurring orb sightings in March that raised eyebrows, Fox News reported.
In one of the most vivid cases, a dog walker in Chester said they spotted two white orbs flying in formation around 6 pm on March 25.
They first assumed they were birds, until the objects suddenly turned sharply and sped northwest without slowing down.
Mid-turn, the orbs reportedly morphed into dark, oval shapes before vanishing into the night.
The witness claimed the orbs appeared pitch black just before disappearing from view.
NUFORC noted that such advanced maneuvers, right-angle turns and abrupt acceleration were common across multiple accounts.
Shapes most often described were orbs, spheres, and triangles.
One encounter took place midair as a plane approached New York City on June 24.
A passenger in seat 1A said they saw a shiny metallic sphere flying just 100 to 200 feet below the aircraft.
The Rendlesham Forest incident: Britain’s most famous UFO sighting
The Rendlesham Forest incident took place in December 1980 over a series of at least two nights.
On December 26, 1980, members of the military stationed at the nearby RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge bases in Suffolk noticed an unusual light emanating from Rendlesham Forest, situated between these two installations.
Three men were sent out to investigate where two of them encountered a small, triangularshaped craft.
One man, Jim Penniston, got close enough to touch the side of the object.
He and another of the airmen present, John Burroughs, made sketches of the craft for witness statements.
Two nights later Deputy Base Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt and his team then encountered the UFO.
He later remarked: “There I was, a senior figure generally tasked with dismissing such phenomena and striving to debunk them, yet I found myself entangled in a situation I couldn’t rationalize.”
Despite an MOD investigation the Rendlesham Forest incident remains unexplained.
The object flew in the opposite direction, and the passenger said it wasn’t stationary or balloon-like.
He alerted the flight crew upon landing, though pilots said they didn’t notice anything.
The passenger, who flew in from Toronto, remained convinced it was no ordinary object.
Some reports included photos or video, but NUFORC hasn’t released any digital proof.
Explanations floated by witnesses ranged from drones and aircraft to fireworks and the International Space Station.
Still, most of the 66 cases remain unexplained and open.
Sightings peaked from April through June, which NUFORC has said aligns with the warmer months driving more and more people outdoors.
With more people outside and looking at the sky, the likelihood of UFO sightings – verified or otherwise – goes up.
The organization, founded in 1974 by Robert J. Gribble, documents and investigates sightings worldwide.
Its stated goal is to collect, verify, and archive credible witness reports of UFO-related events.
