SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY - FEB. 19, 2009 - A brilliant flash lit up the sky three times here last evening, according to witnesses, then it happened again four hours later. Following is the unedited witness report from friends Jonah and Josh.
Last night at around midnight, our power dimmed, and a brilliant orange flash lit up the whole sky. This happened about 3 times within the next 2 minutes, during which the color shifted to a greener color. Then 4 hours later it happened again, only this time appeared to be moving down our street. The light, as described from a fellow New Yorker in rochester, seemed to connect the sky to the ground. About 6 other people on my street have seen it, and two other people i know of about a half mile away saw it.
the first lights were around 11, they seemed to fill up the whole sky completely, but it was eerie, because it was not just the sky but also around the house. My computer dimmed, and the clock turned off. Those first few began as a pink color, and then shifted to a greener color. The light did not seem to be beaming down, but rather horizontally. Another interesting thing, was that it was very centralized to our street. I have 3 witnesses, from about a half mile away saying they saw the light, but in the distance rather then surrounding them. Then, at 4 in the morning, the lights happened again, and this time for a bit of a longer time, and turning again the pinkish color, then changing to a green. I misspoke about the moving light, i only meant that it seemed to be coming off from some place further up the street. It seemed a bit brighter in this direction.
[i]A couple other interesting points were:
1. A policeman who lives on a perpendicular street, drove to our street and watched, then drove back home. This doesn't seem interesting except for to say that this story was not in the news, and the newspapers i called hadn't heard anything about it.
2. A few of my friends from areas roughly 20 miles away told me that they did not see a light, but there power went completely off. Its very possible that they're power outage was just a coincidence and did not have much to do with the events in our neighborhood, but i thought i should add it anyway.
To be quite honest, I'm not sure that it looked like a space craft might (then again how many have i seen?) but i felt i should write to you due to the fact that several of the sightings in your article are New York based, and recent.[/i]
