SIGHTING: CORTLAND, NEW YORK (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was coming home from work about 5:20 PM. I turned onto my street and something caught my eye to the SE. It had just turned dark so I could not make much detail. The craft was large and made no noise. It continued to come towards me at not too high an altitude. It went over all the houses on my street and over me as well. It was a triangle shaped craft. It had circular rows of distinctive red lights on the underside with a few white lights towards the center. Toward the rear there some white tubular lights running the width of the craft. There was a white light in the rear that flashed every 2 seconds or so. You could see this light when the craft was directly over me but as the craft passed and was in the horizon the light was in the configuration of a figure eight with the corners rounded. The tubular light was constant and flashed brighter every 2 seconds. It disappeared just to the left of Song Mountain (with the ski area) probably going over the town of Vespar to the NE.What struck me most was the slow speed of the craft and the distinctive figure eight of the tail light which I estimate was over 250 feet in width and 75 feet in height."
