SIGHTING: MAYFIELD, NEW YORK (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"While sitting in my vehicle at work i observed an bright orb-like object hovering beside a jet con-trail over the very southern part of great sacandaga lake ny. i was facing south while looking at the object to my 11:00 position. the object hovered near the contrail for about 30 seconds and then slowly started to move left (east). the con-trail did not move, only dissipated. i knew the object was moving so i grabbed my work camcorder. i filmed the object and held the camera as stead as possible to show its movement. i also moved the camera to zoom-in where, the object appeared fuzzy and shimmering in my video. i zoomed out and continued to monitor its movement. as it moved the object paused and then continued moving again several times. one acceleration was particularly faster than it moved previously. i obtained great video and decided it was enough footage. the object stopped moving and my excitement left. i looked away to place the video on my computer and then looked back up and the object was gone.
