OK, I've read enough of the comments to feel safe enough to say this...lol:
I saw something in the sky across the river from the Indian Point nuclear plant back in the late 70s. I was with a young lady that was supposed to be somewhere else, so we could never talk about it or corroborate each others stories.
It was a bright light, starting out as pretty bright white, and changing course back and forth, but never crossing the Hudson River. It wasn't a flare, it didn't come down by parachute...it circled, gained or lost altitude at will, and finally settled down, slowly, behind the hills on the other side.
She freaked, so we had to leave, but we both know what we saw
