On 2/17/12 a Massive burning flash turned into a triangular ship in Newburgh NY.

First I would like to start off by saying that this is not a hoax or a joke. I do not want to waste my time nor your time. I live in Newburgh NY. I have believed that there was some kind of life beyond this world but never looked in the sky or anything like that. Newburgh has a ufo problem. Whether alien or military there are abnormal crafts in the sky and i have the videos to prove so. Here is my story.

3 weeks prior to the major sighting I was driving home from Planet Fitness in Newburgh Ny around 7:00 pm toward my girlfriends house who lives in Plattekill NY. Plattekill is only a couple of minutes away from Newburgh. So im driving and i see a burnt orange light in the sky. I remember saying to myself wow thats a weird color star. As I am driving I cant help but still look at it. I noticed there was like what looked to be glitter falling from this star. The glitter stops and then the star starts to rock back and forth like a cradle. It does it very slowly and then it just fades out. I pull over and then i cant see anything. That was the first time i ever saw anything weird.

3 weeks later it is 2/17/12 and me and my girlfriend are coming from Poughkeepsie NY driving down 84 east heading towards Newburgh NY. We are driving on interstate 84 when me and my girlfriend notice a burnt orange thing hovering in the sky. You could tell it was a craft but u couldnt make out what it looked like. We just dismissed it as a plane and kept on driving. We kept driving and got to the Beacon Bridge which connects you from Poughkeepsie to Newburgh. Thats when we saw the craziest thing that i have ever seen in my life.

We saw a craft flying and then all of a sudden a huge burnt orange flash. I mean this flash was huge. So big i slammed on my brake and pulled over on a bridge. I thought that a plane had exploded and i was ready to dial 911. I go to grab my phone and then realize that noone else was stopping. No sirens....no ambulances....no nothing. We are standing outside looking around trying to see if we see any thing and all we see is the same craft continue to fly off into the night. I thought it was so weird how this craft look like it exploded and then all of a sudden it flies away unscathed. We get back in the car to see if we can follow this thing but it went off way to high. So right now me and my girlfriend are stunned. I cant believe i just saw something blow up and then fly away like nothing happened. We sit back and think to ourselves well where did we see the huge flash of light at and we determined it to be right over Torches on the waterfront in newburgh. This waterfront ha! s a whole bunch of restaurants but it doesnt open until the weather gets warmer up here so very few cars were there. We then said lets go down and see if maybe some stuff dropped on the ground.

So we go down and park. We see nothing no marks or anything. I take out my camera and start looking into the sky. Nothing. We stayed for about 15 minutes and still nothing. So then i said forget it and lets leave. We turn around and then i felt sonmething. I cant explain what i felt but something told me to turn around one last time. Thats when it happened.

I have to start off by saying it was the MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. It was a light that I swear could pierce right through your soul. A huge flash of light like the sun was breaking the night beamed from beneath the clouds. It was so bright and wide. I couldnt move or speak. i just stood there......amazed. This big flash stayed in the sky and then started to get smaller. The brightness of the flash never left but it got smaller. at first I thought it started shrinking but then i realized it wasnt shrinking but it was moving this way. I grabbed my camera off my neck and started recording. This light became a ball of light and it was moving slowly over the water from Poughkeepsie and into Newburgh. Me and my girlfriend are standing in the Torches parking lot. This light is still moving and then it starts to split into two lights. It split kind of like when cells do under a microscope or something like that. Now its two lights but they lights are not split. the two lights are side my side to each other. The two lights then turn to 3. The third light appears on top the two lights like a triangle.

You can see that it in the first video. The videos are shaky in the beginning because i couldnt capture it. It was so weird. With our eyes it was moving slow but on camera it was so fast that i had to constantly keep focusing in and out on it.

In the other videos you can see more lights appear. I am still recording this thing come over the water and then it starts to get really close. And so now its half way over the water and there is like 6 or 7 lights around this thing. Whatever it was was completely flat. Its moving so slow and then i start to realize that it was way bigger than i thought it would be. This craft had to be about 150 feet in the air. Which i thought was real unusual since you dont see airplanes that close. The craziest thing about this ship was that it was so quiet. I have seen smaller planes that that thing make noise and be further away. So it didnt make any sense.

Now this ship is coming over us and thats when i seen that my amazement turned to fear. This was not American made. I tried recording it but for some reason it would not show up. It was 11:00 pm and it was very dark outside so i know that didnt help. Whoever is reading this please understand that what i am about to tell you is 100% what me and my girlfriend saw and ill take a lie detector test to prove so.

The ship was in the shape of a triangle like a pizza slice. One corner was red, the other was blue and the tip was orange. In the middle of it was about 5 to 6 huge orange lights. This ship made no noise and was flying but flying so slow. It was black or maybe even a dark gray. It was very wide. The lights were the most amazing part. because it was so bright. I couldnt see any writings or lettering on the ship. It then pasts us and starts to tilt into the sky. So basically from the time it left Poughkeepsie and got to us it seemed to be flying straight. But once it passed it and it started to tilt into the sky. It was still moving slow and flew until we couldnt see it anymore. Right off into the stars. My girlfriend can recant the whole story word for word. I turned around to look at her and she looked as though she saw a ghost. Everything was fun until it passed us. I always thought it would be cool to come in contact with a ufo but it didnt feel so. i felt terrified. That ! thing was massive. It was so silent. I couldnt believe noone seen anything. We were the only ones on that dock. Please listen to this. I dont know who you are or what you do. I am taking alot of risks by writing this to you but it needs to be told. Something or Someone is hiding something here. Because since then i continually see these bright orange lights. i see these lights rocks back and forth and some fade and then others come back. I have seen these lights make triangles and then dismember themselves.

I dont know what you guys can do or what you guys will do. But i am telling you this is no hoax. after i typed in google ufo by beacon bridge ny and saw some amazing stuff. it was a forum called MUFON. I had posted my story and then someone commented and told me to write this. I am not looking for fame or money. I want answers. Because this stuff is real and scary and i see on the news all the time about other places seeing the kind of things i saw. As of late they have been happening more and more than ever before. i feel as though something apocalyptic is going to happe and happen soon. Please respond to this. i know contact is not feasible but if you are serious my post is on the http://forums.mufon.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=350. I refuse to let my story be swept under the rug i am not crazy nor delusional. i am a graduate of 4 year university with a great job and a wonderful girlfriend and an amazing family. I am a ordinary person and a couple of ! months ago i would have laughed in someones face if they told me I would do this. I know what we saw.....I dont want the joke to be on us. Thank you for your time.

I will be sending a video titled the 17th of February Sight.
