SIGHTING: HUDSON, NEW YORK (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Gf and i were travelling to hudson, ny on i90 east around 9pm when we saw an object in the sky near the highway. it had very bright lights and we thought it was probably a helicopter flying a medivac route or military. didn't think much of it. around 10pm went outside house in columbiaville, ny and saw 3 craft like the one we saw on the highway earlier in the sky. they were moving slow with no regular patterns. they were low on the horizon. one craft was due south of the house and as i watched flew over the barn across the street and came over our house. the craft made a low rumble, moved fairly slow and the best shape i can describe is it looked like the space shuttle from the bottom. my gf and mom saw a beam of white light go down to the ground for a few seconds from one of the craft. eventually there were 6- 8 craft in the air. i called 911, they indicated they had no other calls. i also called the columbia county sherriffs and they said the same. this was a localized event after 10pm in a rural area and unless you were skywatching you wouldn't have seen this. the event lasted about 60-90 minutes. i'm an electrical engineer and a skeptic but have no explanation for what the 4 of us saw that night.
