Location: Potsdam, NY
Shape: Triangle
Duration:4:15
Triangular with red/white/blue/orange lights, danced through the sky, also flew vertically and gave off partial beam of red..

I was smoking a cigarette on the fire escape and i thought i saw a shooting star. But it moved upward and then back down. It then hovered, it seemed to waver around in the sky. We watched it dance around for an hour and fifteen minutes. It was moving from the north to north north east and downward(over the full time.). It was triangular shaped, the lights followed the sides to the bottom tips to the top tip, but none on the center bottom. They gave off different flashing colors:mostly blue/white(these were more constant-harder to tell apart but you could notice a difference at times), red, almost orange at times. the red light seemed to appear more in the middle, while white was on the bottom and blue seemed to remain near the top tip. near 4:00 it seemed to project some weird red light. It was not a beam, but more like a red dash in the sky. This light would flash on and off, but only appeared about 7 times. I almost stopped watching until i saw that different light. and the sound, it was a dull roar, easy to dismiss, almost the sound of a helicoptor, but the sound was too constant, it just wasn't a helicoptor. One plane flew by about 5 minutes before i could no longer see it. It flew over the ship i was watching about 2 minutes after the red beams flashed. the ufo seemed to almost get nervous and hovered around quicker than before. I have a tremendous feeling of fear, uncontrollable cold chills, my eyes are teering up. i can't get rid of it.
