   Last night (July 29) at 11:45 I looked out at the stars and saw a   
   very bright light above the lake.  I watached it flash through the   
   trees.  It was about four times the size of a star.  About an hour   
   later after it shot flashes and was very bright, it came into the   
   clear sky.  Above it was an object that hovered over it.  This was   
   at least 20 times larger.  The smaller object dipped continually   
   always going back to the space it occupied.  After an hour of this   
   behavior they moved to the right and the larger object went to the   
   side - a distance apart.  It was steady but the smaller one still   
   dipped.  At a little after 2 a.m. when the large one went above the   
   small one the one on top sped away to the right.  The little one made   
   dips but kept on lowering itself.  A dark cloud covered it and   
   then were both gone.

   Ray Nethercott saw a "big hot dog" fly by his Valhalla home Thursday   
   night. "It was weird," the 18 year old said "It was going pretty slow   
   and had lots of lights on it."   
       
   Alison Yuri, 20, of Fishkill was driving through Ossining on Route 9   
   when she saw something hovering over her car.   
       
   "My boyfriend saw it first," she said.  "It was rounder than a hot   
   dog and had about 20 white lights and two red lights on it."   
       
   Nethercott and Ms. Yuri were among dozens of people along the Hudson   
   River in Westchester County and in New Jersey who called police   
   departments and local airports to report strange lights flying along   
   the river.

   It moved ever so slowly through the night sky like a glowing, spiraling,   
   one- armed pinwheel.   
       
   Wherever it came from, whatever it was, the UFO gave 110 Metro Detroit   
   stargazers more than they bargained for Tuesday night.    
       
   It also spawned hundreds of calls of inquiry around the country Wednesday   
   after sightings of the mysterious object elsewhere in Michigan and   
   in nearly every other state east of the Mississippi.   
       
   Residents of Kentucky's Clark County, east of Lexington, heard a boom   
   accompany the show.   
       
   "Some people said they saw great big ball of fire," said Clark County   
   Deputy Larry Lawson.  "The people said their homes shook and windows   
   vibrated as if there had been an explosion or earthquake, but it was   
   just for just a very few seconds.  They said the whole sky lit up.   
       
   "All these people weren't imagining or seeing things.  Some of them   
   were very terrified over it right after it happened.  Some said they   
   smelled something like gunpowder."   
       
   The object was seen by Detroit skywatchers who had gathered at the   
   Troy Outdoor Education Center's farm for an outdoor lecture and a   
   look at the annual Perseid meteor shower.  The campfire was blazing   
   and marsh-mallows were roasting when suddenly one of the attendees   
   stood up, pointed up into the southeast sky and shouted, "What is   
   that?"

   Researchers are scratching their heads, perplexed at an unusual sighting   
   by apparently thousands of people over the eastern United States shortly   
   after 10 a.m. Tuesday.   
       
   Nancy Miller of Ebensburg was among those taking advantage of a clear   
   night to watch for shooting stars.   
       
   Mrs. Miller was looking high in the sky when she caught a glimpse   
   of something moving at the bottom of her vision.  At first, she thought   
   it was an airplane. But she saw a bright light, then a light that   
   appeared to come out of the first one in swirls that she described   
   as almost cloudlike.   
       
   "It was moving toward me," she said.  "I was ready to go into the   
   house to call    
   my husband and son when my son came out and he saw it too.    
       
   "While we were standing there looking, it slowly changed - like three   
   lights in sort of a long thin cloud.  It became cloudlike and slowly   
   went away, becoming fainter until we couldn't see it."   
       
   At first, Mrs. Miller said, the object seemed far away, but it moved   
   quite rapidly toward her.  From start to finish, she estimated, the   
   sighting took no more than a minute.
