I Didn’t Get Abducted, But These New York UFO Sightings Are Wild

Just last week, I was up at a cabin deep in the ADKs (shoutout Chestertown) with little to no cell service, no traffic noise, just the sounds of the woods and a pitch-black sky.

Around midnight, I stepped outside for some air, and as I looked up into the pitch-black sky with a gazillion stars, I swear I thought I was about to be the next guy in the news claiming aliens had taken him from the mountains.

Spoiler: I didn’t get abducted. (I think.)

But What Is It?

Below are recent sightings reported in New York State, as reported by NUFORC. This non-governmental, non-profit organization tracks UFO/UAP sightings and reports of alleged alien contact across the U.S.

Many of these reports include photos or video, and click the link for each city to view the footage, if available. Even if you’re skeptical, it’s still a great rabbit hole to fall into.

So... Do You Believe?

Whether you're a true believer, a die-hard skeptic, or just someone who spends too much time looking up at the stars, New York skies always have something weird to offer, especially in the summer.

So, while I made it back from Chestertown without a probe… I can’t say the same for the skies over Buffalo and Altamont.
