Witnesses Report 16 UFO Sightings in July Across New York Skies

Do You Believe?

Summer in New York is prime UFO spotting season; clear skies, long nights, and plenty of rural, quiet areas where strange lights aren’t just cars from Route 9 traffic heading up to Lake George.

Between campfires, cold beers, and late-night Adirondack vibes, your brain’s already open to every blinking drone, satellite, or wayward firefly that suddenly looks suspicious.

But What Is It?

Keep watching the skies, and you might find something worth reporting to the National UFO Reporting Center, aka, NUFORC.  I know I always do!

Nuforc is a non-governmental, non-profit corporation that documents UFO / UAP sightings and alleged alien contact across the country. However, our list only includes reported sightings across New York State.

Were any of these near you, and did you perhaps see something peculiar in the New York sky? If so, email brian@wgna.com and I'll feature it in a future post!
