Flying orbs over the night sky in New York on July 28, 2012.

My wife and I filmed this sighting on 7-28-12 around 10 p.m. from Long Island, NY. I wish I had the footage I took with my iPhone of the first set of 6 or so as they were more "acrobatic" (accidently deleted during sync), but I did take video from my camcorder too that still captures the essence of what we witnessed that evening. Hard to explain, but intriguing enough that I thought it was worth reporting. I ended it abruptly after the last one jetted away and the sky went dark again. Each disappeared the same way - they shook violently then seemed to just disappear. These balls rose relatively quickly, I'd guess them to reach speeds of 150-200 mph as they ascended. But then they would just stop, and sit, and hover for a while. As I zoomed in, I saw that before they disappeared, they shook erratically and became hard to keep a steady view of. At the end of my clip you'll see a great illustration of what I mean - a great close up of this illuminated "orb.". These balls apeared to pulsate and seemed to almost make patterns, such as triangles and lines.
