Newburgh-Beacon Bridge UFO experience

[michael2010]

Earlier this month (I believe it was on January 7th if I remember), I'm driving over the newburgh-beacon bridge here in upstate new york (about 90 minutes from NYC) and happened to look up and saw what appeared to be a wedge/triangular shaped object with lights that was hovering pretty low.

It was a little weird in that it made no sound and yet was motionless. I couldn't stop as there was other traffic on the bridge and really, if you hadn't looked up, one would not have noticed it again, due to it being so quiet and though it did have lights, they were not unusually bright.

Anyway, I looked on the internet to see if anyone else had experienced it and ran across this url: www.ufocasebook.com/2011/beaconny060411.html

Apparently, someone else had seen something similar some years earlier; so I posted on that website but have not received a reply ..wanted to make it known somewhere and thought MUFON would be the most appropriate place.

My brothers still don't believe me as I've not made a fanatical case about it; have to admit I viewed it as a bit odd is all though I would have imagined that I would have been more frightened but again, given how quiet it was, it seemed non-threatening.

Hey this is so weird. Last night me and my girlfriend are crossing the newburgh beacon bridge and we see a giant flash of light in the sky like something had exploded. We kept on driving to get closer and then we just see some kind of craft just fly off really slowly. So we decided to go to the waterfront to see if we can see it again........
Now this part is the scary part.....and i have it on video as well. We saw the most giant craft i have ever seen. Now im not crazy or delusional and i never believed in UFO's or aliens.
Please listen to me when i say that this thing sent chills down my spine. We stood at ther waterfront near Torches and watched for 20 min......nothing. We turnaround to walk to the car and guys it was like a movie. A HUGE ball of light (it looked like fire) came out of the clouds and then a ball of light formed. Then this 1 ball turned into 2.....then 3......then 4 and etc. Next thing I know its coming towards us. I whip out my camera and start filming away. It flies directly above us and starts to make its way straight up into the night. Mind you its 11 pm on a friday at the waterfront.
I have it all on camera and the footage is amazing but what i saw with my eyes the camera could never capture. I was able to see the body of thsi ship and it was HUGE. the biggest i have ever seen. It was triangle shaped. It had nine to 10 lights underneath it. There was a red light at one tip and a blue on the other. I didnt see any other lights. So i hope more people come out and write about it. I have everything on clear video but i will not post it due to reasons i cant write here. if someone is serious...please write back so that maybe we can all meet up and show evidence because im telling you right now.....NEWBURGH HAS A HUGE PROBLEM.

I didn’t want to be the first person to talk about this sighting so I’ve been scanning the net for the last 2 months hoping someone else would post about it. This kind of thing makes you doubt your own sanity.
I was driving east on 84 headed towards Connecticut, about 5 miles back before the bridge, I had seen something strange. It almost looked like a derby hat hanging (I know goofy but that’s what it reminded me of) in the sky but from a “straight’ on perspective. I could see the bulge in the middle and then what sort of looked like a brim sticking out at the sides. It was weird but I was doing 75 mph and it quickly passed in and out of my field of vision because of mountains and hills that the road cuts through. By the time I got to the Bridge itself I had forgotten all about it. As the highway bears right, just when you’re approaching the bridge, I came around that bend and there in the Sky right above the highway was a massive object, I mean huge in relation to the bridge and the skyline behind it. I couldn’t just slam on the brakes because I was in traffic but I looked up as I went underneath it and it looked to me to be almost Diamond shaped and a matte gray, as I passed from underneath I flipped up my rearview to see if I could see it more, but it was gone.. This all transpired in about 30 seconds. I know I wasn’t hallucinating because I looked around to see if anyone else was looking and the people in the cars around me were also looking up and then back at the road.
When I got to the Toll collector I asked her if she had seen it and she said “I finally saw one” she was beaming.. I asked her again because this is a very surreal experience, even for someone like me that has always wanted to see one. And she confirmed that it sort of came from nowhere and then just as suddenly disappeared. The weirdest thing about it, it looked aquatic almost like a manta ray and had 2 black circles underneath that looked empty just black holes. It was completely still and silent, and really freaked me out... I wondered if it wasn’t a military craft as there’s a base close and it was that color, but the woman at the toll booth seemed pretty positive it was a UFO… I tried to snap a pic but all I got was the roofline of my car.

Hi JC. The manta-ray rang a bell for me. I remembered that I read an article about a recent sighting also describing a manta ray sort of thing. It looks quite different on the picture but there is a short list of other similar sightings in the article. Maybe contacting the authors can help a little. Also maybe you would want to make a drawing of the object, as much as you can, while you are still remembering the details.

Here is the link to the article:

But then there is this flying toy for big boys called Festo Manta Ray

And the return of the airships, some of which look a lot like silent hovering UFOs

Very interesting sighting, JC. Thank you for posting.

This is all so amazing, thank you all for your responses. I honestly started to doubt if I had seen it at all as I discussed it with my family/friends, but I was wide awake, driving across the bridge and remember specifically where I saw it.

Like most of you said, this was a triangular shaped ship but was silent and sitting right above the bridge, was pretty amazing. Although I'm a sci-fi fan, I never actually believed that UFOs were real, not sure what to believe now, especially given your other posts here.

I will make sure I keep my phone with me so if it ever happens again I can take some pics and video.

Hello does anyone have any further information on this? I was driving east on the Newburgh beacon bridge on the night of December 11the at 630PM I noticed something hovering over the bridge. I could not believe my eyes. I was staring at a triangle shaped aircraft. It was dark but not too dark that I could not see it. I rolled down my window and I could not hear anything. I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures. There were tons of cars on the bridge and for a moment I was quite scared because there would be no good reason to fly a vehicle that close to the bridge. I still can not believe people are not making a bigger deal about this. Many cars were slowing down to look at the craft. Any information would be great.

This area seems to have lots of UFO activity. Why?

From 1982 and on, thousands of people have reported seeing UFOs in the Hudson Valley, a magnificent area just 40 miles north from Manhattan, New York. While "UFO-skeptics" claim that UFOs are seen only by lone people in retired areas and never above cities, these sightings occurred in a very populated area, and hundreds of multiple independant witnesses came forward and described what cannot be anything commonplace............read more

2011 sighting: Published: 3:58 PM 6/17/2011

Beacon, New York - 06-04-11

The sighting lasted about 1 minute.

I was driving on the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge towards Beacon, when I noticed a strange object at about 10 o'clock to where I was at first (position wise).....read more

It was also lower than where most planes fly around the area, quite low in fact.

As I approached the toll booth, I noticed that it was in the same place it had been while I was on the bridge, hovering in place.

As I waited to pay the toll I stared up at it, and it was simply floating in place.

Location: Newburgh, NY
Shape: Triangle
Duration:5 minutes
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..............READ MORE

9:50 pm just before Newburgh Beacon Bridge heading east on I84 in NY. Isaw a really bright light towards the south as I was approaching thebridge. It wasn't moving. At first I thought it was a really tall celltower or something like that, but as I got nearer the bridge I noticed itwas not on the side of the road, but over it. It still wasn't moving andas I got closer I saw it had four horizontal bright white lights in a row,like a light bar you'd see in a bathroom, but the two lights on the edgeswere much brighter and flashing brighter and dimmer............read a good story

Feb. 27, 2017 approximately 8:00PM-----For the last week or so I have seen an almost identical sounding object directly over the Hudson River Newburgh-Beacon bridge area. My wife first pointed this out to me, and we had a sighting last October(?)2017 over the Hudson River between Beacon, and Cold Spring/Garrison, NY. The object I saw very good tonight was sort of a triangle but more blob like with a prominent white light on top. It wasn't very bright except for when I first saw it appear(it was bright). It seemed the lighting was sort of subdued. Its crazy but it sounds very similar to the above two mentioned sightings. I am an ex-Criminal Investigator and briefly was a Mufon Investigator some years back. The sighting my wife and I had last October 2016 also involved extreme military flight activity all over the area. That was during the sighting, and days after it. During the sighting they appeared to be fighter planes, perhaps F-15's, and were "tailing" the UFO. This one this evening was eerie, and I watched it quite well from the Beacon side near the Mount Guilian Historic house. I stood in the houses back yard looking just yards down the hill at the river. About 7-8 absolutely mesmerized deer accompanied me. It was shocking.

Hey! Its been 6 years since I have seen this ufo. I appreciate you all for coming forth and telling your stories. Maybe we can meet one day? Like at a public place i.e. Newburgh Library and talk about this stuff. I havent seen one since the 2/17/12 sighting but it seems that these sightings seem to happen between June to March. I am sure there are more people who have seen this. its amazing how we all can describe something similar but we have never met. lets do something about this, im tired of feeling alone about this.
Whats even weirder is weeks after I posted my sighting, I had a strange night encounter in which doctors say it was sleep paralysis. But I have never had it before that day nor after. Something tried to touch me while i was "dreaming" and I find it very ironic this happens weeks after my sighting. Stuff only happened when we lived in the mountains that very year in 2012. From 2011-2012 I had some stranger things happen. Would love to discuss more and hear about you. Let me know if your interested!

Newborgh-Beacon Bridge is right next to Stewart Air National Guard Base.

You could have mistook a C-17 transport plane as a wedge shaped UFO. I believe the large triangle-UFO are most likely secret craft or experimental by Lockheed Martin or one of the defense contractors. See my post on triangle UFOs to this forum.
